Synthesis and characterization of 2,4-di-methyl-, and 3,4-di-methyl-phenol derivatives of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene

In this study, the reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazatriene N3P3Cl6 (1) with the sodium salts of 2, 4-di-methyl-phenol (2a) and 3, 4- di-methyl-phenol (2b) have been investigated. Mono phenoxy-substituted phosphazene compounds N3P3Cl5OC6H3-Me-2, 4 (3) and N3P3Cl5OC6H3-Me-3, 4 (4) were obtained from these reactions. The structures of these compounds were characterized by 1H, 13C, 31P NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses.
