Abstract
Without being able to stop the reaction on the first or second stage, trisamino substituted cyclotri(λ3 -phosphazanes) (2) can be shown to add always three mole equivalents of sulfur under very mild reaction conditions to give cyclotri(λ5 -phosphazanes) (3). Suggesting the reaction to be stereospecific, 3 shows the same 31P NMR pattern as the starting materials 2. From this result and from molecular models, 3a-c as well as 2a-c are assumed to have diequatorial axial-substitution, whereas the bicyclic 2d and 3d are likely to have their phosphorus substituents in a diaxial-equatorial position.
