Chemical ionization induced fragmentations of 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolanes and 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinanes

Chemical ionization induced fragmentations (with 2-methylpropane as reagent gas) of 4-methyl- and 4,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane and 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane gave in each case two fragments, a hydrocarbon ion and metaboric acid. Propeae and thence metaboric acid are eliminated from 4,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane. The mechanisms of the fragmentations are discussed. Under the conditions used 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane and 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane do not fragment.     

Structure and reactions of benzo-4-diphenylphosphino-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane

The crystal structure of 5,6-benzo-4-diphenylphosphino-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane 1 indicates the occurrence of an interaction between the π-systems of the 1,3,2-dioxaborinane ring and the appropriate phenyl group of the diphenylphosphino group.

Molecular and crystal structure of 2-phenyl-2-oxo-5,6 -benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphepine

The seven-membered heterocycle in the crystal structure of 2-phenyl-2-oxo-5,6-benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphepine has distorted (asymmetric) twist conformation and the plane of the phenyl substituent at the phosphorus atom does not coincide with the bisector of the plane of the OPO fragment of the heterocycle and is not perpendicular to it.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 214–217, January, 1991.     

Application of P-stereogenic aminophosphine phosphinite ligands in asymmetric hydroformylation

New chiral aminophosphine phosphinite ligands with a stereogenic center at the aminophosphine phosphorus atom were prepared based on (R,S)-ephedrine as the chiral auxiliary and backbone. Substituents at the chiral aminophosphine as well as at the phosphinite phosphorus atom were varied. These new ligands were applied to the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation of vinyl arenes. The enantiomeric excess reached up to 77%. 1H and 31P NMR studies of the Rh complexes under syngas pressure reveal that [HRh(CO)2(PP)] complexes with the NP* moiety in an axial position are responsible for enantioselectivity.     

Analysis of the Conformational Composition of 2-Alkyl-4-phenyl-1,3,2-oxazaborinanes

The empirical MM2 and semiempirical AM1 methods were used to calculate the energy of model 2-methyl-4-phenyl-1,3,2-oxazaborinane with full optimization of the molecular geometry. Comparison of the experimental coupling constants for the 2-isobutyl analog and calculated coupling constants as well as the data for the relative energy of the individual conformers indicated that these compounds form a multicomponent equilibrium system containing sofa and a family of half-chair forms.

Hydride migration in the mass spectra of some 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxsilacycloalkanes

The mass spectra of a series of 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxasilacycloaklanes all contain a peak at $\text{m}\text{e}$ P–78, which we suggest arises from hydride migration from the ring.

The possible mechanism of this transformation is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1297–1298, May, 1996.     

The unexpected role of pyridine-2-carboxylic acid in manganese based oxidation catalysis with pyridin-2-yl based ligands

A number of manganese-based catalysts employing ligands whose structures incorporate pyridyl groups have been reported previously to achieve both high turnover numbers and selectivity in the oxidation of alkenes and alcohols, using H(2)O(2) as terminal oxidant. Here we report our recent finding that these ligands decompose in situ to pyridine-2-carboxylic acid and its derivatives, in the presence of a manganese source, H(2)O(2) and a base. Importantly, the decomposition occurs prior to the onset of catalysed oxidation of organic substrates. It is found that the pyridine-2-carboxylic acid formed, together with a manganese source, provides for the observed catalytic activity. The degradation of this series of pyridyl ligands to pyridine-2-carboxylic acid under reaction conditions is demonstrated by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. In all cases the activity and selectivity of the manganese/pyridyl containing ligand systems are identical to that observed with the corresponding number of equivalents of pyridine-2-carboxylic acid; except that, when pyridine-2-carboxylic acid is used directly, a lag phase is not observed and the efficiency in terms of the number of equivalents of H(2)O(2) required decreases from 6-8 equiv. with the pyridin-2-yl based ligands to 1-1.5 equiv. with pyridine-2-carboxylic acid.     

Asymmetric synthesis of P-stereogenic o-hydroxyaryl-phosphine (borane) and phosphine-phosphinite ligands

The first asymmetric synthesis of P-stereogenic 2-hydroxyarylphosphine ligands is described, using borane complexation methodology. This synthesis is based on the highly stereoselective preparation of bromoarylphosphinite boranes, leading to the 2-hydroxyarylphosphine derivatives, by an intramolecular ortho Fries-like rearrangement mediated in basic conditions. The o-anisyl-2-hydroxynaphthylphenylphosphine borane has been decomplexed in EtOH, affording the P(III)-stereogenic hydroxyarylphosphine ligand with 84% yield. The interest of the hydroxyarylphosphine borane is also demonstrated by the preparation of a new class of phosphine-phosphinite ligands, by trapping the rearrangement products first with chlorodiphenylphosphine, Ph₂PCl, then with borane. The corresponding phosphine-phosphinites are obtained and purified as diborane complexes, with the decomplexation of these borane complexes being achieved by heating with dabco, to afford the free hybrid ligands with retention of the configuration at the P-atom (isolated yield up to 53%).     

2-Sulfiliminopyridines and their oxidation to 2-nitropyridines

Sulfilimines of the pyridine series with electron-acceptor substituents in the ring were synthesized. It was shown that their oxidation with trifluoroperacetic acid results in the corresponding nitropyridines. The limitations of the methods were indicated.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1536–1538, November, 1990.The authors with to express their gratitude to Yu. A.

P-stereogenic secondary iminophosphorane ligands and their rhodium(I) complexes: taking advantage of NH/PH tautomerism

Have a good SIP: P-stereogenic secondary iminophosphorane (SIP) ligands with a sulfonyl group attached to nitrogen have been prepared. In the presence of rhodium, the tautomeric equilibrium is shifted from the favored PH tautomer towards the P(III) tautomer, thereby allowing coordination of the SIP ligand through the P and O atoms. The resulting Rh complexes are effective in the [2+2+2] cycloaddition of enediynes with terminal alkynes.     

New P-stereogenic triaminophosphines and their derivatives: synthesis,structure, conformational study,and application as chiral ligands

The synthesis, structural, and conformational studies of new P-chiral triaminophosphines, which feature an indolidine and a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolidine pattern, respectively, are reported. These compounds can feature very different 3D-structures, although they both could be seen a priori as close derivatives of the previously reported 3-phenyl-1,3-diaza-2-phosphabicyclo[3.3.0]octane. The consequences for the use of such compounds and their derivatives in asymmetric metal-catalysis are discussed on the basis of preliminary results in asymmetric cobalt-catalyzed [6+2] cycloaddition.     

Synthesis of enantiomerically pure P-stereogenic diphosphacrowns and their palladium complexes

A practical synthetic route for enantiomerically pure P-stereogenic diphosphacrowns was developed by using a P-stereogenic bisphosphine as a chiral building block. Their molecular structures were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Complexation of the diphosphacrowns with palladium was carried out, and the corresponding palladium complexes were obtained. The P-stereogenic diphosphacrowns were applicable to the chiral ligand for the asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated ketone catalyzed by palladium. This reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding 1,4-addition products in high yield with good enantioselectivities.

Iridium complexes with P-stereogenic phosphino imidazole ligands: Synthesis,structure and catalysis

The synthesis of optically and diastereomerically pure P-stereogenic phosphine-imidazole ligands is reported. The new ligands contain either a benzoimidazole or a 4-phenylimidazole as a N-donor fragment. The ligands have been coordinated to iridium and the structure of the corresponding cationic COD complexes has been determined by X-ray analysis. The combination of the chiral phosphorus atom and the imidazole substituents generate a strong chiral environment around the metal center. Preliminary hydrogenation reactions with a model cyclic β-enamide are also reported.
