Triphenylarsinimines formed in situ from isocyanates and triphenylarsine oxide have been found to react smoothly with carbonyl compounds like aldehydes, quinones and aromatic ketones giving the corresponding Schiff's bases in high yields.In the case of aldehydes, quinones or activated ketones, e.g., α-diketones, only a catalytic amount of triphenylarsine oxide is necessary for the reaction to proceed to completion.Quinones react with particular ease.Thus the previously unknown 9,10-phenanthrenequinone N-phenylimine 12 (R = Ph, Scheme IV) can be prepared in high yield from 9,10-phenanthrenequinone and phenyl isocyanate under catalytic influence of triphenylarsine oxide.Orthoquinones like 9,10-phenanthrenequinone react with vinylic isocyanates, forming monoimines 13 which rearrange to 1,4-oxazines 14 (Scheme V).Diisocyanates react under the catalytic action of triphenylarsine oxide with dialdehydes under mild conditions, forming some interesting new polymers 25, 26 in high yields.Reactions with aliphatic isocyanates give N-alkyl-N'-arylcarbodiimides, whereas reactions with isothiocyanates proceed through intermediates 20 and 21 to mixed carbodiimides 16, 24 and 25. Key words: Triphenylarsinimines; synthesis; reactions; Schiff's bases; unsymmetrical carbodiimides; polymers.
