Crystal structure of a tris(2-aminoethyl)methane capped carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide compound

Abstract

The molecular structure of the tripodal carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide compound diethyl {[(5-[2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetamido]-3-{2-[2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetamido]ethyl}pentyl)carbamoyl]methyl}phosphonate, C25H52N3O12P3, features six intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. The phosphonate groups have key bond lengths ranging from 1.4696 (12) to 1.4729 (12) Å (P=O), 1.5681 (11) to 1.5811 (12) Å (P—O) and 1.7881 (16) to 1.7936 (16) Å (P—C). Each amide group adopts a nearly perfect trans geometry, and the geometry around each phophorus atom resembles a slightly distorted tetrahedron.
