Abstract

Triarylbismuth(V)-oxo and -hydroxo compounds react with organoboronic acids and esters in the presence of BF3·OEt2 to afford the corresponding bismuthonium salts. They also undergo dehydrative coupling with cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, amides and sulfonamides to give stabilized bismuthonium ylides, bismuthane N-acylimides and bismuthane N-sulfonylimides, respectively. All reactions proceed efficiently under mild conditions.

When dried in vacuo for several hours, 2a was dehydrated to give a polymeric triphenylbismuthane oxide as an amorphous powder. See Ref. [6]

In this reaction, triarylbismuthane and aniline were obtained in good yields. This result suggested that the initially formed triarylbismuthane N-benzoylimide would thermally decompose to generate the bismuthane and phenyl isocyanate. See Ref. [5g]
