Reaction of α-cyanoacrylic acid and cyanoacrylates with dialkyl and diaryl phosphites

-Cyanoacrylic acid and -cyanoacrylates add dialkyl and diaryl phosphites and diethyl thiophosphite at the C=C double bond in the absence of catalyst. This is an anti-Markovnikov reaction, which yields the corresponding phosphonates and thiophosphonates.A. N.

5-Hydroxy-1-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan

5-Hydroxy-1-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane A new approach to 1-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane compounds involves free-radical cyclization of 4-trimethylsilyloxy-4-phosphinomethyl-hepta-1.6-diene synthesized by the reaction of 2.2-diallyl-oxirane with KPH₂ followed by trimethylsilylation. Trimethylsilyl groups are easily cleaved in boiling methanol forming 5-hydroxy-1-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes. Silylated and desilylated bicyclic compounds are characterized by n.m.r. and i.r. data.     

Cis-1-Phosphabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan

Cis-1-Phosphabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane cis-1-Phosphabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane has been synthesized by free-radical cyclization of 4-phophino-octa-1.7-diene. The bicyclic phosphine is characterized by reactions with CS₂, Ni(CO)₄, HSO₃F, CH₃I, H₂O₂, sulfur, and selenium, respectively. The determination of the relative configuration of the phosphine is done by a qualitative conformational analysis from the ¹³C n.m.r. data.     

Scope and Limitations of the s-Block Metal-Mediated Pudovik Reaction

The hydrophosphorylation of phenylacetylene with di(aryl)phosphane oxides Ar₂P(O)H (Pudovik reaction) yields E/Z-isomer mixtures of phenylethenyl-di(aryl)phosphane oxides ( 1 ). Alkali and alkaline-earth metal di(aryl)phosphinites have been studied as catalysts for this reaction with increasing activity for the heavier s-block metals. The Pudovik reaction can only be mediated for di(aryl)phosphane oxides whereas P-bound alkyl and alcoholate substituents impede the P−H addition across alkynes. The demanding mesityl group favors the single-hydrophosphorylated products 1-Ar whereas smaller aryl substituents lead to the double-hydrophosphorylated products 2-Ar . Polar solvents are beneficial for an effective addition. Increasing concentration of the reactants and the catalyst accelerates the Pudovik reaction. Whereas Mes₂P(O)H does not form the bis-phosphorylated product 2-Mes , activation of an ortho-methyl group and cyclization occurs yielding 2-benzyl-1-mesityl-5,7-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrophosphindole 1-oxide ( 3 ).     

1,5-Diphosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan

1,5-Diphosphabicyclo [3.3.1]nonane 1,5-Diphosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane 8 has been obtained by free-radical cyclization of CH₂?CHCH₂(H)PCH₂P(H)CH₂CH?CH₂ 6 and 1-allyl-1,3-diphosphorinane 7 . For the synthesis of 6 and 7 the chlorophosphine Cl₂PCH₂PCl₂ 1 is used as a starting material, which can be converted into Me₂N(Cl)PCH₂P(Cl)NMe₂ 3 by reaction with (Me₂N)₂PCH₂P(NMe₂)₂ 2 . Treatment of 3 with two equivalents of allyl lithium and cleavage of the PN bonds in CH₂?CHCH₂(Me₂N)PCH₂P(NMe₂)CH₂CH?CH₂ 4 with diluted HCl affords CH₂?CHCH₂(H)(O)PCH₂P(O)(H)CH₂CH?CH₂ 5 . Phenylsilane is used for the first time as a reducing agent to obtain a secundary phosphine like 6 from the secundary phosphine oxide ( 5 ). Prolonged heating increases the yield of the byproduct 7 in the mixture of 6 and 7 . Reactions of the trivalent phosphorus in 8 with CS₂, CH₃I, POCl₃, NO, sulfur, and KSeCN, respectively, delivers the corresponding derivatives 9–17 . The compounds decribed are characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se n.m.r., i.r., and m.s. data.     

Catalytic hydrofunctionalization of alkynes through P-H bond addition: the unique role of orientation and properties of the phosphorus group in the insertion step

The puzzling question of alkyne insertion into Pd-P and Pd-H bonds leading to the formation of new Pd-C, C-P, and C-H bonds was explored by theoretical calculations at the CCSD(T) and B3LYP levels of theory. The key factors responsible for selectivity of catalytic hydrofunctionalization of alkynes were resolved and studied in details for the models of hydrophosphorylation, hydrophosphinylation, and hydrophospination reactions. In contrast with the generally accepted mechanistic picture, the calculations have shown that several pathways are possible depending on the nature and geometrical arrangement of the phosphorus group. It was found that the product of alkyne insertion into the metal-hydrogen bond should be easily formed under kinetic-control conditions, while the product of alkyne insertion into the metal-phosphorus bond may be formed in certain cases under thermodynamic control. For the first time, the calculations have revealed the role of the oxygen atom in the reactivity of P=P(O)R(2) groups and the role of the interactions involving the lone pair of the P=PR(2) group in the reagent. The fundamental properties of the Pd-P, C-P, and P-H bonds were reported, and the larger bond strength upon increasing the number of oxygen atoms bound to phosphorus (P=PR(2), P(O)R(2), and P(O)(OR)(2)) have been shown. The relationship between bond energy, acidity, and reactivity of the studied phosphorus compounds has been determined.
