This invention concerns a new family of phosphorus-containing compounds containing a moiety JQA- in which: n A is absent or is —O—, —S— or —NR 2 —; n Q is absent or (if A is —O—, —S— or —NR 2 —) Q may be —V—, —OV—, —SV—, or —NR 2 V—, where V is an aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, aryl, or heteroaryl moiety, such that J is linked to the cyclohexyl ring directly, through A or through VA, OVA, SVA or NR 2 VA; n nK is O or S;n neach occurrence of Y is independently —O—, —S—, —NR 2 —, or a bond linking a R 5 moiety to P;n neach occurrence of R 2 and R 5 is independently an aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, aryl, or heteroaryl moiety, or H; andn neach occurrence of R 6 is independently —PK(YR 5 )(YR 5 ), —SO 2 (YR 5 ) or —C(O)(YR 5 ); so long as any R 2 , or R 5 moiety linked directly to P is not H;n nwherein two R 2 , R 5 and/or R 6 moieties may be chemically linked to one another to form a ring;n neach occurrence of G is independently —O—, —S—, —NR 2 — or (M) x ;n neach occurrence of M is independently a substituted or unsubstituted methylene moiety, and any M-M′ moiety may be saturated or unsaturated;n neach occurrence of x is independently an integer from 1-6; and the other variables are as defined herein. |
