Derivatives of the novel dibenzo[b,f]phosphepin system are prepared from 10,11-dihydro-5-phenyl-5H-bibenzo[b,f]phosphepin 5-oxide (2). New members in the 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]phosphepin series, including phosphorus analogues (7, 10) of the andidepressant drug imipramine (30), are also reported. Products of nucleophilic substitution at tetrahedral phosphorus in 2 appear to be determined by the relative apicophilicity of the nucleophile. Conformational analysis based on 1H NMR data suggests folded (“butterfly”) conformation for the tricyclic compounds. The twisted boat conformation of the central ring in the 10,11-dihydro compounds bears a pseudo-equatorial P[dbnd]O oxygen or a P[dbnd]S sulfur, in solution. Symmetric AA‘BB’ spin systems are found in 4,5 and 7, and their solution conformations appear to be similar to those of analogous 10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]azepine derivatives. The interaction of some compounds with NMR shift reagents and their mass spectral fragmentations are discussed. |
