Synthesis and Structure of Phosphanylated Bis-Triazoles as Potential Ligands for Chiral Catalysts

Potential atropisomeric ligands, diphenylphosphane derivatives of bis-triazoles, were synthesized by direct phosphanylation of the starting bis-triazoles with chlorodiphenylphosphane. Their crystal structure was elucidated by X-ray diffractional analysis. The conformations of these compounds were modeled by DFT calculations.
