[NiCl2(dppp)]‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling of Aryl Halides with Dialkyl Phosphite,Diphenylphosphine Oxide,and Diphenylphosphine

We present a general approach to C? P bond formation through the cross‐coupling of aryl halides with a dialkyl phosphite, diphenylphosphine oxide, and diphenylphosphane by using [NiCl₂(dppp)] as catalyst (dppp=1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane). This catalyst system displays a broad applicability that is capable of catalyzing the cross‐coupling of aryl bromides, particularly a range of unreactive aryl chlorides, with various types of phosphorus substrates, such as a dialkyl phosphite, diphenylphosphine oxide, and diphenylphosphane. Consequently, the synthesis of valuable phosphonates, phosphine oxides, and phosphanes can be achieved with one catalyst system. Moreover, the reaction proceeds not only at a much lower temperature (100–120 °C) relative to the classic Arbuzov reaction (ca. 160–220 °C), but also without the need of external reductants and supporting ligands. In addition, owing to the relatively mild reaction conditions, a range of labile groups, such as ether, ester, ketone, and cyano groups, are tolerated. Finally, a brief mechanistic study revealed that by using [NiCl₂(dppp)] as a catalyst, the Ni^II center could be readily reduced in situ to Ni⁰ by the phosphorus substrates due to the influence of the dppp ligand, thereby facilitating the oxidative addition of aryl halides to a Ni⁰ center. This step is the key to bringing the reaction into the catalytic cycle.     

NiCl2(dppp)]-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides with dialkyl phosphite, diphenylphosphine oxide, and diphenylphosphine

We present a general approach to C-P bond formation through the cross-coupling of aryl halides with a dialkyl phosphite, diphenylphosphine oxide, and diphenylphosphane by using [NiCl(2) (dppp)] as catalyst (dppp=1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane). This catalyst system displays a broad applicability that is capable of catalyzing the cross-coupling of aryl bromides, particularly a range of unreactive aryl chlorides, with various types of phosphorus substrates, such as a dialkyl phosphite, diphenylphosphine oxide, and diphenylphosphane. Consequently, the synthesis of valuable phosphonates, phosphine oxides, and phosphanes can be achieved with one catalyst system. Moreover, the reaction proceeds not only at a much lower temperature (100-120?°C) relative to the classic Arbuzov reaction (ca.?160-220?°C), but also without the need of external reductants and supporting ligands. In addition, owing to the relatively mild reaction conditions, a range of labile groups, such as ether, ester, ketone, and cyano groups, are tolerated. Finally, a brief mechanistic study revealed that by using [NiCl(2) (dppp)] as a catalyst, the Ni(II) center could be readily reduced in situ to Ni(0) by the phosphorus substrates due to the influence of the dppp ligand, thereby facilitating the oxidative addition of aryl halides to a Ni(0) center. This step is the key to bringing the reaction into the catalytic cycle.     

Chiral sulfoxides as neutral coordinate-organocatalysts in asymmetric allylation of N-acylhydrazones using allyltrichlorosilanes

Sulfoxides were first introduced to the allylation of N-acylhydrazones with allyltrichlorosilanes as effective neutral coordinate-organocatalysts (NCOs). Both high diastereo- and enantioselectivity were attained when optically active chiral sulfoxides were used. Asymmetric crotylations using (Z)- and (E)-crotyltrichlorosilanes showed a high level of stereospecificity (Z --> anti and E --> syn) with high enantioselectivity.     

Chiral phosphine oxide BINAPO as a Lewis base catalyst for asymmetric allylation and aldol reaction of trichlorosilyl compounds

Chiral phosphine oxide BINAPO, which was readily prepared from chiral phosphine BINAP, exhibited good catalytic activities in the reaction of trichlorosilyl compounds via hypervalent silicate intermediates. The allylation of aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilanes in the presence of a catalytic amount of BINAPO gave the allylated adducts in good enantioselectivities (up to 79% ee) wherein a combination of diisopropylethylamine and tetrabutylammonium iodide as additives was crucial to accelerate the catalytic cycle. ³¹P NMR analysis of the phosphine oxide suggested that the amine promoted the dissociation of phosphine oxide from silicon atom. BINAPO also promoted the enantioselective aldol reaction of aldehydes with trichlorosilyl enol ethers in the presence of diisopropylethylamine as an additive to afford the corresponding aldol adducts in high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to syn/anti=1/25, 96% ee (anti)).

Evaluation of acylphosphine oxide polymerization initiators using differential scanning calorimetry

This study examines the polymerization of dental monomers catalyzed by synthesized acylphosphine oxides in a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) cell. This research focuses on establishing a relationship between radicals generated by the acylphosphine oxide photoinitiators and the kinetic reaction rates of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and acrylamide (ACM), a model monomer. The thermal stability of mono- and di-acylphosphine oxides was examined by DSC. Endothermic melting and exothermic polymerization reactions initiated with the two initiators were recorded. The acrylamide model system laid the ground work for the critical evaluation of the synthesized new initiators of mono (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) diphenylphosphine oxide, and bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phenylphosphine oxide. The bis(acyl) phosphine oxide photoinitiator was more reactive than the mono-(acyl) phosphine oxide with methyl methacrylates under laboratory conditions. In exothermic reactions, temperatures rose higher and more rapidly for bis(acyl) phosphine oxide initiated reactions than mono-(acyl) phosphine oxide initiated reactions.     

Separation of "light fluorous" reagents and catalysts by fluorous solid-phase extraction: synthesis and study of a family of triarylphosphines bearing linear and branched fluorous tags

Practical syntheses of new triarylphosphines bearing both linear and branched fluorous tags (Rf) are reported. The phosphines have one, two, or all three aryl rings bearing fluorous tags: (Ph)(3)(-)(n)()P(C(6)H(4)(CH(2))(m)()Rf)(n)(). Fluorous-organic partition coefficients have been measured and the retention properties of both the phosphines and the derived phosphine oxides on fluorous reverse phase silica have been studied. While applications relying on liquid-liquid extractive separations of these phosphines may be limited to those bearing three fluorous chains, the technique of solid phase extraction should be broadly applicable to phosphines, phosphine oxides, and derived metal complexes. A parallel platinum-catalyzed allylation of aldehydes with fluorous allyl stannanes illustrates the usefulness of the new fluorous ligands in small-scale synthesis.     

Metal-free reduction of tertiary phosphine oxides with Hantzsch ester简

The （COCl）2/Hantzsch ester is found to be an effective system for the metal-free reduction of tertiary phosphine oxides. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, and is applicable to triarylphosphine oxides and alkyldiarylphosphine oxides to produce the corresponding tertiary phosphines in good to excellent yields. This new finding provides a practical, convenient and metal-free method for the reduction of tertiary phosphine oxides to tertiary phosphines, and shows potential application in organic synthesis.     

NMR spectrometric study of molecular complex formation of [60]- and [70]fullerenes with a number of phosphine oxides

Molecular complex formation between [60]- and [70]fullerenes with a series of phosphine oxides, namely, tri-n-octyl phosphine oxide, triphenyl phosphine oxide and tri-n-butyl phosphine oxide has been studied in CCl4 medium by NMR spectrometric method. Both [60]- and [70]fullerenes have been shown to form 1:1 adducts with the above series of phosphine oxides. Formation constants (K) for all the complexes have been determined from the systematic variation of NMR chemical shifts of specific protons of the donors in presence of [60]- and [70]fullerenes. Trends in the values of K suggest that [70]fullerene binds stronger with the phosphine oxides relative to [60]fullerene.     

Access to P-chiral sec- and tert-phosphine oxides enabled by Le-Phos-catalyzed asymmetric kinetic resolution

The synthesis of P-stereogenic building blocks is extremely difficult. Herein we report an efficient kinetic resolution of secondary phosphine oxides via a Le-Phos-catalyzed asymmetric allylation reaction with Morita–Baylis–Hillman carbonates. This method provides facile access to enantioenriched secondary and tertiary P-chiral phosphine oxides with broad substrate scope, both of which could serve as P-stereogenic synthons, and can be rapidly incorporated into a given scaffold bearing a P-stereocenter. The highly desirable late stage modifications demonstrate the practicability of our method and can be a critical contribution to obtaining optimal P-chiral catalysts and ligands.

Herein we report an efficient kinetic resolution of secondary phosphine oxides via a Le-Phos-catalyzed asymmetric allylation reaction with Morita–Baylis–Hillman carbonates.     

The synthesis of a [2.2]paracyclophane-derived secondary phosphine oxide and a study of its reactivity

A planar chiral secondary phosphine oxide based on [2.2]paracyclophane was synthesized and its chemistry investigated; it was shown to be a competent pre-ligand in palladium(0)-mediated reactions, and displayed promising activity in gold(I)-catalysed cyclisations. The secondary phosphine oxide could be transformed into a collection of P-stereogenic tertiary phosphine oxides. These are rare examples of the planar chirality of [2.2]paracyclophane being combined with a P-stereogenic centre. Unfortunately, epimerisation of the phosphorus stereocentre during reduction limits the use of this chemistry.     

Michael-type addition of secondary phosphine oxides to (1,4-cyclohexadien-3-yl)phosphine oxides

Base-induced reaction between (1,4-cyclohexadien-3-yl)phosphine oxides and secondary phosphine oxides gives 3,4-bis(phosphinoyl)cyclohexenes and 2,3-bis(phosphinoyl)cyclohexenes through an in situ isomerization of one of the cyclohexadienyl double bonds and a subsequent Michael-type addition of the secondary phosphine oxide.     

Electrochemical oxidation of tertiary phosphines in the presence of camphene

Anodic oxidation of tertiary phosphines (tripropyl-, tributyl-, and triphenylphosphine) in the presence of a bicyclic alkene (camphene) on a platinum and a glassy carbon electrodes was studied. For the first time the voltammetric characteristics of the process of camphene anodic oxidation were obtained. The electrochemical reactions with alkyl and aromatic phosphine were found to be dissimilar. The results of preparative electrooxidation of trialkylphosphines showed that in the course of electrolysis the tertiary phosphine cation-radicals generated on the anode enter into two concurrent reactions: (1) with the parent phosphine to form eventually trialkylphosphonium salts and trialkylphosphine oxides presumably as complex compounds and (2) with camphene to form trialkylcamphenylphosphonium salts and probably phosphonium salts with a monocyclic substituent. Preparative electrochemical oxidation of triphenylphosphine in the presence of camphene affords almost exclusively either triphenylphosphine oxide (in the experiment with platinum anode) or the triphenylphosphine oxide complex with perchloric acid (at the electrolysis on a glassy carbon anode).     

Studies on highly regio- and stereoselective fluorohydroxylation reaction of 3-aryl-1,2-allenyl phosphine oxides with Selectfluor

The fluorohydroxylation of allenyl phosphine oxides with Selectfluor in commercial MeCN without prior treatment or a mixed solvent of anhydrous MeCN (refluxed over CaH₂ and distilled before use) and 7.0 equiv of H₂O or MeNO₂/H₂O=10/1 afforded 2-fluoro-3-hydroxy-1(E)-alkenyl diphenyl phosphine oxides in moderate yields with very high regio- and stereoselectivities. The E-stereoselectivity is believed to be controlled by the phosphine oxide functionality. In the reaction of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2-propadienyl diphenyl phosphine oxide, further fluorination on the electron-rich phenyl ring was also observed.     

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of the Stereoselective Synthesis of P‐Stereogenic Phosphine Oxides

An efficient enantioselective strategy for the synthesis of variously substituted phosphine oxides has been developed, incorporating the use of (1S,2S)‐2‐aminocyclohexanol as the chiral auxiliary. The method relies on three key steps: 1) Highly diastereoselective formation of P^V oxazaphospholidine, rationalized by a theoretical study; 2) highly diastereoselective ring‐opening of the oxazaphospholidine oxide with organometallic reagents that takes place with inversion of configuration at the P atom; 3) enantioselective synthesis of phosphine oxides by cleavage of the remaining P?O bond. Interestingly, the use of a P^III phosphine precursor afforded a P‐epimer oxazaphospholidine. Hence, the two enantiomeric phosphine oxides can be synthesized starting from either a P^V or a P^III phosphine precursor, which constitutes a clear advantage for the stereoselective synthesis of sterically hindered phosphine oxides.     

Synthesis of axially chiral C10-BridgePHOS oxides and their use as organocatalysts in enantioselective allylations of aldehydes

A series of C₁₀-BridgePHOS oxides possessing different substituted groups on the diphenyl phosphine system were synthesized and tested as organocatalysts in the allylation of aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane, providing chiral homoallylic alcohols. These types of organocatalysts showed high catalytic activity and only 2 mol% catalyst loading was required to induce short reaction times. Under optimal reaction conditions, excellent product yields and up to 92% ee were obtained for a variety of substrates.     

Reduction of phosphine oxides to phosphines with the InBr3/TMDS system

An efficient method for the reduction of phosphine oxide derivatives into their corresponding phosphines is described. The system InBr₃/TMDS allows the reduction of different secondary and tertiary phosphine oxides as well as aliphatic and aromatic phosphine oxides.     

A simple chiral shift reagent for measurement of enantiomeric excesses of phosphine oxides

(R)-(?)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-phenylethylamine is a chiral shift reagent which allows ee measurements of various phosphine oxides. Good results were obtained for monophosphine oxides with asymmetric phosphorus centers as well as with an asymmetric carbon in α position of phosphorus. The reagent is also able to differentiate the two enantiomers of racemic DIOP dioxide.     

Diastereoselective and intramolecular cycloadditions of asymmetric p-nitroso phosphine oxides

Benzyl phenyl P-nitroso phosphine oxide (5) reacts as an N-O heterodienophile with 1,3-cyclopentadiene to give the diastereomeric cycloadducts 6a,b in a ratio of 1.5:1 (6a:6b). The same reaction in the presence of tin tetrachloride produces 6a,b in a ratio of 2.9:1 (6a:6b). Cycloaddition of the structurally modified P-nitroso phosphine oxide (18) with 1,3-cyclopentadiene forms the diastereomeric cycloadducts 16a,b in a ratio of 3.1:1 (16a:16b). These results suggest the reactions of these P-nitroso phosphine oxides and 1,3-cyclopentadiene occur through a transition state where the heterodienophile adopts an s-cis conformation and approaches the diene in an exo fashion syn to the phenyl group. This model resembles those proposed for the cycloadditions of the structurally similar asymmetric vinyl phosphine oxides. Reaction of 18 with 1,3-cyclopentadiene in the presence of a Lewis acid produces cycloadducts 16a,b in a ratio of 7:1 (16a:16b), which approaches synthetic utility. Similar experiments show that 1,3-cyclohexadiene likely reacts with P-nitroso phosphine oxides through a different transition state, limiting current predictions regarding the diastereoselectivity of these reactions. The intramolecular cycloaddition of an asymmetric P-nitroso phosphine oxide (19) for the first time produces a unique phosphorus-containing heterocyclic compound (20).     

Evaluation of bifunctional chiral phosphine oxide catalysts for the asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketimines

A series of bifunctional phosphine oxides have been prepared and evaluated as catalysts for the trichlorosilane mediated asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketimines. bis-Phosphine oxides, hydroxy-phosphine oxides, and biaryl phosphine oxides all demonstrated good catalytic activity, but poor to moderate enantioselectivity. A bis-P-chiral phosphine oxide displayed the highest enantioselectivity of 60%.
