Hydrophobic Encapsulated Phosphonium Salts-Synthesis of Weakly Coordinating Cations and their Application in Wittig Reactions
Large and rigid tetraarylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate salts have been synthesized representing weakly coordinating cations with diameters of several nanometers. Divergent dendritic growth by means of thermal Diels-Alder cycloaddition was employed for the construction of the hydrophobic polyphenylene framework up to the third generation. X-ray crystal structure analysis of first-generation phosphonium tetrafluoroborate supported the rigidity of the non-collapsible shell around the phosphorus center and gave insight into solid-state packing and cation-anion distances. Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne ligation served as reliable method for the preparation of a first-generation triazolylphenyl…
