Phenyl bis(morpholin-4-yl-amido)-phosphinate

Abstract

In the title compound, C 14H 23N 4O 4P, the P atom is in a distorted tetra-hedral environment with bond angles in the range 96.87 (6)-119.86 (6)°. The two morpholinyl groups adopt a chair conformation. The phenyl ring is disordered over two sets of sites with equal occupancies [0.500 (2)]. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked via N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds into an extended chain running parallel to the a axis. Only one of the amidate N - H groups is involved in hydrogen bonding.
