Popis: Electrochemical reduction of substituted (alkylamino)phosphonium salts under the presence of phenylisocyanate was carried out to confirm the generation of iminophosphoranes and phosphorus ylides. The reactions of the generated iminophosphorane with phenylisocyanate gave a phosphine oxide and a carbodiimide as the products of the Aza-Wittig-type reactions. When the ylide generation is favorable, the generated phosphorus ylide reacted with phenylisocyanate to give the intermediate betaines as the result of Wittig-type reaction and succeeding H-shift leads to more stable phosphorus ylides. To elucidate the mechanisms of selective synthesis of the iminophosphoranes and phosphorus ylides from a single (alkylamino)phosphonium salt, the theoretical density functional calculations were performed by using B3LYP with the 6–31+G(d) basis set.
