Reaction features of 2,3,4-trichloro-1-butene with phosphoric and nitrogen nucleophiles

Reaction of 2,3,4-trichloro-1-butene with phosphoric and nitrogen nucleophiles was carried out. In the reaction with allyldiphenylphosphine 1,4-bis-(allyldiphenylphosphoniochlorido)-1,3-butadiene was obtained, with tributylphosphine, allyldimethylamine and trimethylamine respective 1,4-bis-onium salts with 2-chloro-2-butenylene group. Reaction with trimethylamine proceeded with formation of monoammonium salt with 3,4-dichloro-2-butenyl group. It is noteworthy that 1,4-splitting of 1,4-bis-(trimethylammoniochlorido)-2-butene at the action of sodium methoxide occurs with involvement of the less labile hydrogen atom.
