Sterically congested tripodal phosphites: conformational analysis,solid-state polymorphism,metal complexation,and application to the asymmetric hydrosilation of ketones

The synthesis as well as isolation and crystallographic analysis of two solid-state polymorphs of the tripodal ligand tri[2,2',2' '-tris[(2,4,8,10-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin-6-yl)oxy]ethyl]amine (3) is described. Form I crystallized from ethyl acetate in the space group P2(1)/n with the unit-cell parameters a = 20.070(10) A, b = 17.477(2) A, c = 27.620(3) A, and beta = 93.050(10) degrees, V = 9674.5(14) A(3), and Z = 4. Form II crystallized from a mixture of acetone and toluene in the space group P1 with the unit-cell parameters a = 12.493(1) A, b = 19.701(2) A, c = 21.027(2) A, alpha = 116.23(1) degrees, beta = 100.15(1) degrees, and gamma = 91.07(1) degrees, V = 4542 A(3), and Z = 2. Differences in the relative absolute stereochemistry of the stereoaxes in the seven-membered dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin ring are discussed. The synthesis and X-ray characterization of enantiomerically pure (S,S,S)-tri[2,2',2' '-tris[(2,4,8,10-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin-6-yl)oxy]propyl]amine [(S,S,S)-7] are reported. Two crystallographically independent molecules exist in the unit cell that cannot be superimposed with each other by either a translation or a symmetry operation. The two solid-state conformers in the unit cell differed predominately by the absolute stereochemistry of the stereoaxes in the seven-membered dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin ring. The Rh(I)-catalyzed hydrosilation of acetophenone with the chiral ligands (R,R,S)-7 and (S,S,S)-7 showed significant differences in chiral induction. Chiral cooperativity between the stereoaxes and stereocenters in (S,S,S)-7 is observed. The mechanism of the communication between the stereocenters and stereoaxes leading to chiral cooperativity in the stereoselective transition state is suggested to be primarily steric in nature.     

Living reversible anonic polymerization of N,N-diethylamine-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan

Polymerization of the cyclic amide of P^III is described for the first time. The N,N-diethylamine-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan was shown to give living reversible polymerization with anionic initiators. Lithium and sodium derivatives were found to be inactive. ¹H-, ¹³C-, and ³¹P-NMR indicated that the polymer strictly reflects the monomer structure and is formed without any isomerization, the polymer chain being $\rlap{--} ({\rm OP}\left( {{\rm NR}_{\rm 2} } \right){\rm O(CH}_{\rm 2} \rlap{--} )_3 )_n $. Initiation involves attack of the anion on the P atom. From the dependence of the equilibrium monomer concentration on temeprature ΔH_1s = 1.5 ± 0.2 kcal·mol^?1 and ΔS_1s = 4.6 ± 0.6 cal·mol^?1·°K^?1.     

The Conformation of Medium-Sized Organosilicon Heterocycles: First evidence for the existence of a boat-boat conformation in a 12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxasilocin

X-Ray Crystal-structure analysis of 2,4,8,10-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6,6-dimethyl-12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]-dioxasilocin showed that its eight-membered organosilicon heterocycle adopts a boat-boat (BB) conformation in the solid state (Figs. 2 and 3).     

A facile synthesis and spectral (ir, 1H, 13C, 31P nmr) studies of 2,10-dichloro-6-aryloxy-12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin 6-sulfides

The synthesis of new 2,10-dichloro-6-aryloxy-12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin 6-sulfides 4 was achieved in two steps with high yields from the simple materials 5,5′-dichloro-2,2′-dihydroxydiphenyl-methane (1) and thiophosphoryl chloride (2) which produced the key intermediate 2,6,10-trichloro-12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin 6-sulfide (3) . Treatment of 3 with substituted phenols under phase transfer catalytic (PTC) conditions led to members of 4 . Long range coupling [⁵J_(P,H) = 3.6 Hz] was observed between phosphorus and one of the bridged methylene protons in 4 . A ¹³C nmr analysis revealed ²J_(P,O,C), ³J_(P,O,C) ⁴J(P,O,C) and ⁵J(P,O,C) couplings. All ³¹P nmr chemical shifts for thirteen members of these new heterocycles are reported for the first time. The nmr data are not totally definitive to confirm a boat-chair as the major conformer for the central eight-membered dioxaphosphocin ring, but such a conformer is tentatively suggested as favored.     

Dibenzo[d,h][1,3,6,7,2]dioxadithiasilonin: Synthesis and characterization

The reaction of 2,4-di-t-butylphenol, 4 , with sulfur monochloride gave the trithiobisphenol 5 rather than the expected dithiobisphenol 7 . The thiol 6 was obtained by the reduction of 5 with zinc under acidic conditions. The dithiobisphenol 7 was prepared by the oxidative coupling of 6 with iodine under alkaline conditions. The dibenzo[d,h][1,3,6,7,2]dioxadithiasilonin 8 was prepared by the reaction of 7 with dichlorodimethylsilane using triethylamine as an acid acceptor. No change was observed in the ¹H nmr spectrum of 8 upon cooling to ?55°, which suggests that the ΔG* for ring inversion is less than the corresponding eight-membered dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxasilocin and dibenzo[d,g][1,3,6,2]dioxathiasilocin 1 and 2 , respectively. The spectral data and elemental analysis are fully in accord with the nine-membered silonin structure.     

1H, 13C, 31P NMR and conformational study of 7-membered ring organophosphorus compounds. 1,3,2-dioxaphosphepanes

The ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR data of several 2-R-2-thiono-1,3-dioxa organophosphorus molecules with 7-membered rings [R = Cl, OC₆H₅, C₆H₅, CH₃, N(CH₃)₂] are reported. The conformation of the 7-membered ring is discussed by reference to the ³J(POCH) coupling constants which are compared with those observed in 6-membered 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes. It is shown that caution must be exercised in using the ³J(POCH) angular dependence as a stereochemical tool. The ³¹P spin lattice relaxation times of some of these 7-membered rings have been measured and the values are discussed.     

1H, 13C and 31P NMR Studies of the Stereochemistry of Chiral 2-Substituted (4R,6R)-Dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes

Abstract

¹³C, ¹H and ³¹P NMR investigations have been carried out tc determine the ring stereochemistry and phosphorus configuration for four chiral (4R,6R)-2R-4, 6-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane derivatives, 1-4 (2R=Cl, Ph, OMe and Ot-Bu, respectively).     

Stericaliy Congested Molecules: 2,2′-[(Biaryldiyl)bis(oxy)]bis[1,3,2-oxazaphospholidines]

The original suggestion that a through-space mechanism was operative in the seven-bond J(P, P) coupling constant of 30.3 Hz observed for 3.3′-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,2′-[3,3′,5,5′-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-diyl]bis(oxy)}bis[1,3,2-oxazaphospholidine] ( 1a )) was investigated. In the solid-state CP-MAS ³¹PNMR spectrum of 1a , two nonequivalent P -atoms were observed; sufficient resolution could not be obtained to determine whether P, P coupling was present. The preparation and spectral data of the N-methyl analogue 1b and of the acyclic N-isopropyl analogue 6 (Scheme 1) provided evidence that a) the essentially exclusive formation (R*, R*,S*)- 1a in the reaction of the disodium biphenyldiolate 3a with the phosphorochloridite 4a is the result of significant differences in the free energy of activation (ΔG*) for the formation of the various diastereoisomers due to the steric congestion within the molecule and that b) the magnitude of the observed P,P coupling is dependent upon the degree of conformational freedom within the molecule. In the ³¹P-NMR spectrum of the P-sulfide 7 , which was prepared by the reaction of la with sulfur, 2s resonances were observed that strongly suggested that the lone electrons pair on P are involved in the mechanism for the transmission of coupling data. The (4S,5R) -12 and (4R, 5S) -12 of la were prepared in a three-step reaction sequence starting from the corresponding enantiomerically pure norephredine 8 (Scheme 2). Both (4S, 5R)- and (4R, 5S) -12 were obtained as a diastereoisomer mixture that differ by the configuration of the axis of chirality, i.e., (R*R*,R*)- and (R*,S*,R*) -12 were obtained. The major diastereoisomer was obtained upon recrystallization, and the atropisomers were observed to equilibrate in solution by monitoring the H? C(5) resonance in the ¹H-NMR with time (ΔG° = 0.4 kcal/mol; Fig. 2). The process observed corresponds to the restricted rotation about the central single bond of the biphenyl system. The isolation of an atropisomer with only a single ortho substituent on each aryl ring is quite rare. In the ¹³C-NMR spectrum of both (R*,R*,R*)- and (R*,S*,R*) -12 , C(5) is two-bond-coupled to the oxazaphospholidine P-atom (²J(C(5),P((2)) = 8.5 Hz) that is further virtually coupled to the P-atom of the other oxazaphospholidine ring (7J(P(2),P(2′)) = 30 Hz; ⁹J(C(5),P(2′)) = 0 Hz; δ(P(2)) = δ(P(2′)) = 136 ppm. In the ³¹P-NMR spectrum of (R*,R*,S*) -12 , which was prepared from the racemic chloridite (mixture of three diastereoisomers was obtained), a ⁷J(P(2),P(2′) of 36 Hz was observed. These observations provide strong evidence that seven-bond P,P coupling occurs in all three diastereoisomers of 12 . The observed P,P coupling is both independent of the configuration of the chiral axis and the configuration of the asymmetric P-centers. This independence of P,P coupling upon the configuration on P implies also the independence of the observed coupling upon the orientation of the lone-pair of electrons on P provided that the conformations of the diastereoisomers are similar in solution. The X-ray crystal structure of the complex formed from 1a and dichloro(cycloocta-1,5-diene)platinum(II) was obtained and the solid-state structure discussed. The major diastereoisomer of (4S,5R) -12 was used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric hydrosilylation and hydrogenation reactions (Scheme 3).     

Beiträge zur Chemie des Phosphors. 169. 31P-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und Struktur von Hexaphosphan(6), P6H6

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 169. ³¹P-NMR Spectroscopic Detection and Structure of Hexaphosphane(6), P₆H₆ Phosphane mixtures containing 5–10 P-% of hexaphosphane(6), P₆H₆, are obtained by thermolysis of a mixture of chain-type phosphorus hydrides P_nH_n+2 (n = 2–7) at 25–35°C. According to the complete analysis of the ³¹P{¹H}-NMR spectrum on the basis of selective population transfer experiments, P₆H₆ has the constitution of 1-phosphino-cyclopentaphosphane. An indication of the constitutional isomer with a six-membered phosphorus-ring and all trans orientation of the hydrogen atoms and the free electron pairs, respectively, has not been found. From the δ(³¹P) data of the phosphanes with five-membered rings P_nH_n (n = 5, 6) a relationship for the chemical shifts of this class of compounds as a function of their structural parameters is derived.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 2,10‐dichloro‐6‐substituted‐4,8‐dinitro‐12H‐dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin 6‐oxides/sulfides

Novel 2,10‐dichloro‐6‐substituted‐4,8‐dinitro‐12H‐dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin 6‐oxides ( 4a–h ) were synthesized by reacting 5,5′‐dichloro‐3,3′‐dinitro‐2,2′‐dihydroxydiphenylmethane ( 2 ) with different aryl phosphorodichloridates ( 3a–g ) or bis(2‐chloroethyl)phosphoramidic dichloride ( 3h ) in the presence of triethylamine at 55–60°C, and the compounds 4i–l were prepared by reacting the 2,6,10‐trichloro‐4,8‐dinitro‐12H‐dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin 6‐sulfide ( 5 ) in situ with substituted phenols and thiophenol 5 was prepared by condensing 2 with thiophosphoryl chloride. IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, and mass spectra supported all the proposed structures. Several title compounds exhibited significant activity in the assays against the bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli and fungi Curvularia lunata and Aspergillus niger. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Ab initio Structure Determination of [(Dimethylamino)methylene]bis[phosphonic Acid] Dihydrate from X-Ray Powder Diffraction Data: Comparison with the Corresponding Monohydrate and Unhydrated Form

The structure of [(dimethylamino)methylene]bis[phosphonic acid] dihydrate (C₃H₁₁NO₆P₂⋅2 H₂O; 1 ) was solved ab initio from synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data. The structure determination was based on direct methods combined with difference Fourier techniques, and the refinement was carried out using the Rietveld method. Using this high-quality diffraction pattern, it was possible to index a second phase which corresponds to the structure of the known [(dimethylamino)methylene]bis[phosphonic acid] monohydrate ( 2 ). [(Dimethylamino)methylene]bis[phosphonic acid] dihydrate ( 1 ) is monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z=4, with a=10.6644(1), b=9.1599(1), c=10.5213(1) Å, and β=98.353(1)°. The structure analysis indicates two non-equivalent P-atoms in the molecule of 1 which are also observed in the corresponding monohydrate 2 and unhydrated form 3 . All three compounds exhibit extended H-bonding networks which result in remarkably different ³¹P-NMR spectra. The [(dimethylamino)methylene]bis[phosphonic acids] 1 – 3 crystallize in the betaine-type structure which, therefore, contains two nonequivalent P-atoms. The −P(=O)(OH)₂ and −P(=O)(OH)O⁻ groups of 1 – 3 are involved in a number of strong H-bonds which can be characterized by the different ³¹P-NMR chemical shifts of the two P-atoms of 1 – 3 .     

Stereochemistry of the Inhibition of δ-Chymotrypsin with Optically Active Bicyclic Organophosphates: 31P-NMR studies

The inhibition of δ-chymotrypsin with optically active, axially and equatorially substituted trans-3-(2,4-dini-trophenoxy)-2,4-dioxa-3λ⁵-phospbubicyclo[4.4.0]decan-3-ones ( = hexahydro-4H-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphorin 3-oxides) was investigated. Their inhibitory power was determined by kinetic measurements, and the stereochemical course of the reaction of stoichiometric amounts of the enzyme and inhibitor was monitored with ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy at pH 7.8. The irreversible inhibitors show significant enantioselectivity (the (S_p)-enantiomer reacting faster) and yield diastereoisomeric, covalently phosphorylated derivatives of δ-chymotrypsin. ³¹P-NMR Spectroscopic studies of the inhibition by the axially substituted inhibitor revealed for the racemic (±) -2a first a resonance at –4.4 ppm and later, while inhibition proceeded, a second one at –4.5 ppm. The reaction with optically active (+) -2a showed only one signal at –4.4 ppm and its enantiomer (–) -2a only one signal at –4.5 ppm. Using the equatorially substituted racemic epimer (±) -2b , we observed the main resonance at –5.3 ppm and two minor ones at –4.4 and –4.5 ppm. The optically active compound (+) -2b showed two peaks at –4.5 and –5.3 ppm, whereas its antipode (–) -2b revealed two signals at –4.4 and –5.3 ppm. Comparing the ³¹P chemical shifts of the corresponding covalent phosphoserine derivatives 4a (-5.7 ppm, axial) and 4b (-4.5 ppm, equatorial) shows the inhibition with the axial compounds 2a to proceed via neat inversion of the configuration at the P-atom, whereas the equatorial epimers 2b with a higher conformational flexibility seem to follow a different stereochemical pathway which results in both inversion and retention.     

2,2′-Bis(arylamino)-1,1′-biaryls as Building Blocks for the Synthesis of Dibenzo[d,f][1,3]diazepines,Dibenzo[d,f][1,3]diazepinones,and Dibenzo[c,e][1,2,7]thiadiazepine 6-Oxides

The iron-catalyzed oxidative C−C homocoupling of diarylamines affords 2,2′-bis(arylamino)-1,1′-biaryls which represent crucial synthetic building blocks for an access to a range of seven-membered heterocyclic ring systems. Reaction with paraformaldehyde, diphenyl carbonate, and diphenyl sulfite as efficient 1,1-dielectrophiles led to dibenzo[d,f][1,3]diazepines, dibenzo[d,f][1,3]diazepinones, and dibenzo[c,e][1,2,7]thiadiazepine 6-oxides. The synthetic procedures enable short and practical routes to these 1,3-diazepine derivatives under mild reaction conditions and with a high tolerance of various functional groups.     

P NMR spectroscopy in benzoxazine model compounds and benzoxazine chemistry - main chain and end group studies

Using ³¹P NMR spectroscopy after phosphorylation, different phenols are easily discriminated. Proposed phenolic model compounds from benzoxazine reaction/polymerization are phosphorylated with 2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane directly in an NMR tube. The dimer and oligomer structure of benzoxazine is different from that of monomer, that is, the breaking of the oxazine ring upon polymerization results in the formation of Mannich bridge structure linking phenolic groups together. Different electronic environment in the phosphorus derivatives of the methylamine-based benzoxazine model dimer and oligomers allows comparison of these ³¹P NMR spectra with the ³¹P-NMR spectra of the compounds from traditional benzoxazine polymerization provides useful end group information. Phenolic functional groups in benzoxazine dimer and oligomers, e.g. phenolic end groups and phenolic groups on the backbone, are studied.     

Synthesis of the H-phosphonate dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine 6-oxide and the phospha-Michael addition to unsaturated compounds

A series of phosphonate-containing compounds based on dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine 6-oxide (BPPO) is presented. BPPO is synthesized by a three–component condensation and is added to activated alkenes with systematically varied structure via phospha-Michael addition. Acrylates, α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid diesters and benzoquinone are used as activated alkenes. The new compounds are characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. The as-prepared phosphonates are envisioned to have flame retardant properties.     

Effects of Substitution Position of Carbazole-Dibenzofuran Based High Triplet Energy Hosts to Device Stability of Blue Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

High triplet energy hosts were developed through the modification of the substitution position of carbazole units. Two carbazole-dibenzofuran-derived compounds, 9,9′-(dibenzo[b,d]furan-2,6-diyl)bis(9H-carbazole) (26CzDBF) and 4,6-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)dibenzo[b,d]furan (46CzDBF), were synthesized for achieving high triplet energy hosts. In comparison with the reported hole transport type host, 2,8-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)dibenzo[b,d]furan (28CzDBF), 26CzDBF and 46CzDBF maintained high triplet energy over 2.95 eV. The device performances of the hosts were evaluated with electron transport type host, 2-phenyl-4, 6-bis(3-(triphenylsilyl)phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (mSiTrz), to comprise a mixed host system. The deep blue phosphorescent device of 26CzDBF:mSiTrz with [[5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-1-yl-2(3H)-ylidene]-1,2-phenylene]bis[[6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-1-yl-2(3H)-ylidene]-1,2-phenylene]iridium (Ir(cb)₃) dopant exhibited high external quantum efficiency of 22.9% with a color coordinate of (0.14, 0.16) and device lifetime of 1400 h at 100 cd m⁻². The device lifetime was extended by 75% compared to the device lifetime of 28CzDBF:mSiTrz (800 h). These results demonstrated that the asymmetric and symmetric substitution of carbazole can make differences in the device performance of the carbazole- and dibenzofuran- derived hosts.     

Mass spectrometric studies of organophosphorus compounds: III—Remarkable migration of chalcogen on electron impact of organophosphorus compounds

The mass spectra of several dibenzo (d.f)-1,3,2,-dioxaphosphorepines of the type where X=0, S, Se and R=2,2′-biphenylylene, have been studied. Dibenzochalcogen ions [RX]⁺˙ stemming directly from [M]⁺˙ were observed with high intensities, indicating specific migration of X from phosphorus to carbon with simultaneous destruction of the dioxaphosphorepine ring. Simple cleavage of P? Y as usually observed in similar organophosphorus compounds is not a common process here.

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 230. Hexaisopropyltetradecaphosphane(6), P₁₄i-Pr₆, and Hexaisopropylhexadecaphosphane(6), P₁₆i-Pr₆ — Formation and Structural Determination by ³¹P-NMR Spectroscopy Hexaisopropyltetradecaphosphane(6) ( 1 ) and hexaiso-propylhexadecaphosphane(6) ( 2 ) are formed together with other isopropylpolycyclophosphanes by the reaction of i-PrPCl₂ with P₄ and magnesium and have been enriched to 30 mol% and 10 mol%, respectively. According to ³¹P-NMR spectroscopic investigations, the novel conjuncto-phosphane skeletons of 1 and 2 are the annelation products of a P₅ ring with a P₁₁(5) or a P₁₃(5) partial skeleton, respectively, joined by a common P₂ bridge. Thus, 1 is 4,5,6,10,12,14-hexaisopropylpentacyclo-[9.2.1.0^2,9 .0^3,7 .0^8,13]tetradecaphosphane and 2 is 5,6,7,11,14,15-hexaisopropylhexacyclo[7.7.0.0^2,13 .0^3,10 .0^4,8 .0^12,16]hexadecaphosphane. The phosphorus hydrides P₁₄H₁₆ and P₁₆H₆ have the same skeletal structures which are also intermediate stages in the formation of Hittorf's phosphorus.     

Reactions of transiently formed nitrilium phosphanylide chromium,molybdenum, and tungsten complexes with heterocumulenes

Thermal decomposition of the 2H‐azaphosphirene metal complexes 1a–c in the presence of 1‐piperidinecarbonitrile and heterocumulene derivatives 3, 4 , and 5 yielded the Δ³‐1,3,2‐oxazaphospholene complexes 6c and the Δ³‐1,3,2‐thiazaphospholene complexes 7a–c as isolable products; the latter represent the first complexes of this ring system. It is remarkable that these trapping reactions of the nitrilium phosphanylide complexes 2a–c , which were formed as reactive intermediates, proceeded with high regio‐ and substrate selectivities. The complexes were isolated by column chromatography and characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
