Synthesis, structural characterization, and conformational bias in solution of a sterically congested pyrophosphite: experimental and computational evidence for restricted rotation about an sp3-sp3 P-O single bond

The synthesis and structural characterization of the sterically congested pyrophosphite 6-[(2,4,8,10-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin-6-yl)oxy]-2,4,8,10-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin, 3, is described. In solution at room temperature, a single species was observed that was consistent with a pyrophosphite structure without any evidence for the tautomeric diphosphine monoxide. Below the coalescence temperature (T(C)), 0 degrees C, three atropisomers were observed with relative absolute configurations of (R,R,R), (R,S,R), and (R,R,S). Ring inversion of the seven-membered rings below the T(C) is slow on the NMR time scale, which leads to observable diastereoisomerism because of the presence of two independent stereoaxes (sp2-sp2 C-C single bond connecting the two aryl rings). Additionally, a rotation about an exocyclic P-O single bond connecting the two seven-membered rings, which constitutes a third stereoaxis, is slowed on the NMR time scale. In the X-ray crystal structure of 3, the solid-state conformation was found to be the same as the major conformation in solution below the T(C), namely, the (R,R,S) atropisomer. The results of a conformational search, performed with a specifically parametrized AMBER force field, were in agreement with the 31P NMR assignment of the major (R,R,S) atropisomer, which was found to be an energy minimum. Additionally, we could independently assign the relative configuration of the minor isomers based on the calculated results.     

Sterically Congested Phosphite Ligands: Synthesis,crystallographic characterization,and observation of unprecedented eight-Bond 31P,31P coupling in the 31P-NMR spectra

The synthesis and characterization of 2-{1-{3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-{[2,4,8,10-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin-6-yl]oxy}phenyl}ethyl}-4,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl diphenyl phosphite ( 6 ) is described. In the ³¹P-NMR spectrum (¹H-decoupled) of 6 , an unprecedented eight-bond P,P coupling of J = 72.8 Hz is observed. In the X-ray crystal structure of 6 , an intramolecular P–P distance of 3.67 Å is found, which is within the sum of the van-der-Waals radii of the P-atoms. The observed intramolecular P–P distance suggests that a through-space coupling mechanism is operative. The solid-state conformation of 6 is compared to the conformation obtained by semi-empirical MO geometry optimizations (PM3 method). The calculated geometry suggests that the solid-state structure is near a true energy minimum, but that crystal-packing forces decrease the intramolecular P–P distance in the solid state. In the absence of crystal-packing forces, however, the collisional and vibrational energy available in solution may lead to the population of states with a shortened intramolecular P–P distance in 6 . The proximity of the P-atoms in 6 is due to restricted conformational freedom resulting from steric congestion within the molecule. The free energy of activation (ΔG* = 10.2 and 10.8 kcal/mol for unequal populations of exchanging conformers) for ring inversion of the dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin ring in 6 is determined by variable-temperature ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy. Semi-empirical MO calculation on model compounds suggest that the structure of the transition state for ring inversion has the two aryl rings and O-atoms in a common plane, with the P-atom lying above this plane.

Origin of the chemical stability of phosphine‐phosphoramidites: structural study of an UPPhos‐type crystal and application of UPPhos in the asymmetric hydrogenation of imines

Phosphine–phosphoramidites (PPAs) are heterobidentate ligands that have been developed in the last two decades and have been used successfully in asymmetric catalytic reactions. A single crystal of the PPA (11bS )‐N‐[(2S ,4S )‐4‐(diphenylphosphanyl)pentan‐2‐yl]‐N‐methyldinaphtho[2,1‐d :1′,2′‐f ][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin‐4‐amine, C₃₈H₃₅NO₂P₂, was prepared and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Structure elucidation revealed unique features which might have a significant effect in the excellent chemical stability of this type of molecule. The conformation of the molecule provides an optimal chelating structure. Iridium complexes of UPPhos were found to be efficient catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of imines {UPPhos is (11bS )‐N‐[(2S ,4S )‐4‐(diphenylphosphanyl)pentan‐2‐yl]‐N‐(propan‐2‐yl)dinaphtho[2,1‐d :1′,2′‐f ][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin‐4‐amine}.

An aza cyclopropylcarbinyl-homoallyl radical rearrangement-radical cyclization cascade. Synthesis of dibenzoimidazoazepine and oxazepine derivatives

The cycloaddition of the dibenzoxazepinium W-ylides, generated by heating of trans-1-aryl-7,11b-dihydro-1H-azirino[1,2-a]dibenzo[c,f]azepines, to the C═N double bond of 3-aryl-2H-azirines proceeds endo-stereoselectively giving regioisomeric cycloadducts in ca. 1:1 ratio, in good overall yields. In contrast to the dibenzoxazepinium ylides, the cycloaddition of the dibenzazepinium W-ylide proceeds regioselectively but without exo-endo-stereoselectivity. The reasons for this selectivity of the cycloaddition theoretically were studied at the DFT B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Heating adducts, (2aRS,13SR,13aRS)-13,13a-diaryl-13,13a-dihydro-1H,2aH-azireno[1',2':3,4]imidazo[1,2-d]dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines and (2aRS,13SR,13aRS)-13,13a- diphenyl-2a,7,13,13a-tetrahydro-1H-azireno[1',2':3,4]imidazo[1,2-a]dibenzo[c,f]azepine, with an excess of AIBN in toluene gave new polyheterocyclic systems via a novel aza cyclopropylcarbinyl-homoallyl radical rearrangement-radical cyclization cascade. The energy profile of the cascade was studied at the DFT UB3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The transient imidazolinylmethyl radical was trapped by the use of other radical initiators as the corresponding peroxide or alcohol.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Physical Properties, and Application of a Series of Functional Dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine Derivatives

The twisted aromatics, functional dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives were synthesized in high yields from reactions of 5,5＇-dibromo-2,2＇-biphenol with corresponding ketal or ketone compounds under acid catalysis. The structures of these compounds were characterized by ^1H NMR, elemental analysis, UV-Vis absorption spectrum and X-ray diffraction analysis. The conformation of O--C--O bridged biphenyl derivatives with varied substitute groups on 6,6＇-position was studied by X-ray crystallography and force-field simulation. The result of calculations by UNIVERSAL 1.02 force field in Cerius2 package（4.6） indicates that dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives show twisted conformations and the twisted angle between the phenyl rings is about 40°, which is accordant with the result from crystal structure determination, though the obtained angles in the crystal of dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives with the varied substitute groups on 6,6＇-position are shown to be slightly shifted to 40° owing to intermolecular interactions in crystal stacking. DSC studies exhibit that the substitute groups on 6,6＇-position can induce a large variation of endothermic peaks ranging from 80 to 135 ℃. The conjugated polymers based on dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives, which have ultraviolet emitting with a quantum efficiency of 10%, were obtained by Yamamoto coupling.

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.

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.

Novel phosphite palladium complexes and their application in C-P cross-coupling reactions

A mono- and a 1,3-bis-phosphite arene ligand based on 2,2′-biphenol have been synthesized in order to study the synthesis of the corresponding palladium(II) complexes starting from different Pd precursors. Novel bis-phosphite palladium complex 1 [PdCl₂(L)₂] (L = dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin, 6-phenoxy), C,P-chelate bonded monophosphite palladium complex 2 [Pd(κ₂-L)(μ-Cl)]₂, and PCP-pincer palladium complex 3 have been prepared from these ligands in promising to excellent yields (50-95%). Additionally, complexes 1 and 3 have been characterized by X-ray crystal structure determinations. The application of 2,6-bis-phosphite pincer palladium(II) complex 3 in C-P cross-coupling between diphenylphosphine-borane and a wide range of various aryl iodides under very mild conditions is reported. Kinetic investigations indicate that 3 merely acts as a pre-catalyst and that Pd nanoparticles are the actual catalytically active species.
