The first unpaired electron placed inside a C3-symmetry P-chirogenic cluster

The Pd(3)(dppm*)(3)(CO)(n+) enantiomers (n = 2 (2), 1 (3)) were prepared either from (R,R)- or (S,S)-P-chirogenic bis(phenyl-m-xylylphosphino)methane (dppm*; 1) and Pd(OAc)(2) in the presence of CF(3)CO(2)H, CO and water (n = 2), and then by reductive electrolysis (n = 1). The stable enantiomeric [Pd(3)((S,S)-dppm*)(3)(CO)](+)˙ (3), is the first C(3)-symmetry radical-cation M-M bonded cluster, therefore the odd electron is delocalized onto the Pd(3) frame within this symmetry. The novel chiral species have been characterized by circular dichroism (CD) of both enantiomers of the Pd(3)(dppm*)(3)(CO)(2+) clusters (2) and by EPR spectroscopy for the Pd(3)((S,S)-dppm*)(3)(CO)(+)˙ paramagnetic co…

Enantiodifferentiation of acyclic phosphonium salts in chiral liquid crystalline solutions

Abstract The enantiodifferentiation of acyclic phosphonium salts bearing a stereogenic centre, whether on the phosphorus atom or on one of its substituents, was investigated by 2 H–{ 1 H}, 13 C–{ 1 H} and 31 P–{ 1 H} NMR in chiral liquid crystals composed of a polypeptide dissolved in an organic solvent. For the first time, the enantiomers of P-chirogenic phosphorus compounds were discriminated in these anisotropic media, affording good to excellent separation of the signals, allowing the determination of their proportion. While 31 P–{ 1 H} NMR spectra showed no chiral separation, 2 H–{ 1 H} NMR was efficient in the enantiodifferentiation of an isotopically labelled compound. Better still, …

Modular P-Chirogenic Aminophosphane-Phosphinite Ligands for Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation: A New Model for Prediction of Enantioselectivity

An original series of P-chirogenic aminophosphane-phosphinite (AMPP) ligands has been synthesized from (+)- or(–)-ephedrine in 23 to 61 % overall yields by a versatile three-step methodology. The AMPP ligands, bearing either one or two P-chirogenic centers, were used in the form of rhodium complexes for the catalyzed hydrogenation of α-acetamidocinnamate as a test reaction. Notably, even with AMPP ligands all derived from (+)-ephedrine, variation of the substituent on a P-center allowed the phenylalanine derivatives to be obtained in either (S) or (R) absolute configurations, with ee values ranging from 99 % (S) to 88 % (R). The asymmetric induction was analyzed with the aid of X-ray struct…

Modular P-Chirogenic Phosphine-Sulfide Ligands: Clear Evidence for Both Electronic Effect and P-Chirality Driving Enantioselectivity in Palladium-Catalyzed Allylations

Using the ephedrine methodology, modular stereoselective syntheses of a new class of P-chirogenic phosphines bearing a sulfur-chelating arm (P*,S-hybrid ligand) are described. A first series of syntheses based on a Fries-like rearrangement of P-chirogenic phosphinite-boranes, which are prepared from 2-bromobenzyl or 2-bromophenethyl alcohol and are mediated by metal–halide exchange, have been performed. This rearrangement affords phosphine-boranes stereospecifically with an o-hydroxyalkylphenyl substituent. The latter residue is subsequently converted into a sulfur-containing group. In a second series, the stereoselective syntheses were achieved according to a new strategy involving a react…

Efficient Synthesis of β-Halogeno Protected L-Alanines and Their β-Phosphonium Derivatives.

Abstract Ring opening of oxazolines, prepared from l -serinates, with trimethylsilyl halides (TMSX) led to β-halogeno-N-benzoyl-α-amino esters in good to excellent yields. Quaternization of triphenylphosphine by the β-bromo or -iodo amino esters gave the corresponding β-phosphonium salts in overall yields of up to 93% and with e.e. >96%. Hydrolysis of the ester function afforded the phosphonium salt bearing an N-benzoyl-α-amino acid substituent, with partial racemization. However, the reaction of the TMSX with the carboxylic salt, prepared by saponification of the starting oxazoline ester, furnished the corresponding β-halogeno-N-benzoyl-α-amino acids in 70–95% yields. Quaternization of tri…

Ferrocenyl glycopeptides as electrochemical probes to detect autoantibodies in multiple sclerosis patients' será

Abstract Glycopeptide analogues of CSF114(Glc), modified at N-terminus with new ferrocenyl carboxylic acid and a new ferrocenyl-thiphosphino amino acid, were used to implement a new electrochemical biosensor for autoantibody detection in multiple sclerosis. The ferrocenyl moiety of these "electrochemical probes" did not affect autoantibody recognition both in SP-ELISA and in inhibition experiments. By electrochemical monitoring the interactions of the modified peptides Fc-CSF114(Glc) and 4-FcPhP(S)Abu-CSF114(Glc) with the autoantibodies, we demonstrated that autoantibodies could be detected with a sensitivity comparable to ELISA method. The new electrochemical probes can be proposed to char…

Luminescent P-Chirogenic Copper Clusters

P-chirogenic clusters of the cubanes [Cu4I4L4] (L = chiral phosphine) were prepared from (+)- and (-)-ephedrine with L = (S)- or (R)-(R)(Ph)(i-Pr)P (with R = CH3 (seven steps) or C17H35 (10 steps)) with e.e. up to 96%. The X-ray structure of [Cu4I4((R)-(CH3)(Ph)(i-Pr)P)4] confirmed the cubane structure with average Cu···Cu and Cu···I distances of 2.954 and 2.696 Å, respectively. The cubane structure of the corresponding [Cu4I4((S)-(CH3)(Ph)(i-Pr)P)4] was established by the comparison of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns, and the opposite optical activity of the (S)- and (R)-ligand-containing clusters was confirmed by circular dichroism spectroscopy. Small-angle X-ray scattering patterns…

Stereoselective synthesis of unsaturated and functionalized L-NHBoc amino acids, using Wittig reaction under mild phase-transfer conditions.

The stereoselective synthesis of a new amino acid phosphonium salt was described by quaternization of melting triphenylphosphine with the γ-iodo NHBoc-amino ester, derived from L-aspartic acid. The deprotection of the carboxylic acid function to afford the phosphonium salt with a free carboxylic acid group was achieved by a palladium-catalyzed desallylation reaction. This phosphonium salt was used in the Wittig reaction with aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes and trifluoroacetophenone, under solid-liquid phase-transfer conditions in chlorobenzene and in the presence of K(3)PO(4) as weak base, to afford the corresponding unsaturated amino acids without racemization. Thus, the reaction with subs…

A P-chirogenic β-aminophosphine synthesis by diastereoselective reaction of the α-metallated PAMP–borane complex with benzaldimine

International audience; The diastereoselective synthesis of a P-chirogenic β-aminophosphine ligand with carbon–carbon bond formation of the ethano bridge in a 3:1 ratio via reaction of an α-metallated P-chirogenic phosphine borane with a benzaldimine is described. The diastereoselectivity is attributed to a transition state where the lithium cation chelates the phosphine borane carbanion and the nitrogen of the imine and the attack of the C@N occurs on the face opposite to the P–B bond, due to its interaction with the antibonding P–B bond. The major diastereoisomeric β-aminophosphine borane was then separated and decomplexed into the corresponding β-aminophosphine under neutral conditions a…

However, an overview covering the applications as well as the stereoselective syntheses of all classes of phosphorus compounds has not yet been provided. This review reports the bes…

o-BF3-Phosphonium pincer moieties in the design of delocalized lipophilic cation based tracers for PET imaging of mitochondrial function

International audience; Objectives: Delocalized lipophilic cations, such as triphenylphosphonium (TPP), are able to cross cell membranes and are known to accumulate in the mitochondria in a membrane potential (MMP) dependent manner. MMP is a reliable indicator of mitochondrial and, consequently, cell and tissue function, hence MMP dependent uptake radiotracers are of interest in cardiac and tumour imaging. Conventional C-18F radiofluorination methods require strict aprotic conditions and heating, moreover, C-18F fluorinated tracers may suffer from metabolic defluorination reducing the quality of the images. The objective of this study was to investigate a suitability of o-B[18F]F3-phosphoni…

A novel phosphorus–carbon bond formation by ring opening with diethyl phosphite of oxazolines derived from serine

Abstract A new reaction of oxazolines derived from serine with diethyl phosphite leading to ring opening products with P–C bond formation is reported. This reaction, which proceeds under neutral conditions and without the use of any halogenated intermediate, results in a mixture of racemic α- and β-phosphono alanines in an approximate 1:2 ratio, with isolated yields up to 77%. The mechanism involves the rearrangement of the oxazoline into the corresponding α-benzamido acrylate, followed by addition of the diethyl phosphite to the double bond. Since no significant transesterification is observed, this method constitutes a simple route for α- and β-phosphono amino acids bearing suitable prote…

The first dibenzophospholyl(diphenylphosphino)methane−borane hybrid ligand has been prepared from a Pd-catalyzed reaction of (chloromethyl)diphenylphosphine−borane with the dibenzophospholyl anion. This borane precursor is readily synthesized using a promising new reaction of diphenylphosphine−borane with dichloromethane, under phase transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions. The dibenzophospholyl(diphenylphosphino)methane−borane acts as a chelating P−(η2-BH3) ligand to afford an air-stable Rh(I) complex. The X-ray crystal structure of this complex shows complexation of both benzophospholyl and borane moieties.

The first P-chirogenic mono- and diphosphine ligands supported on the upper rim of a calix[4]arene moiety were synthesized using the ephedrine methodology. The lithiated calix[4]arene mono- and dianions both react with the oxazaphospholidine–borane, prepared from ephedrine, to afford regio- and stereoselectively the corresponding calix[4]arenyl aminophosphine–boranes, by cleavage of the heterocyclic ring at the P–O bond position. Subsequent reactions with HCl and then organolithium reagent and finally decomplexation with DABCO lead to the corresponding calix[4]arenyl mono- or diphosphines. Both enantiomers of the calix[4]arenyl phosphines were obtained either by using (+)- or (−)-ephedrine …

Successive reactions of sec-phosphine boranes with n-BuLi and 1,2-dibromobenzene, and then with boron reagents, afford the o-boronatophenylphosphine derivatives in 71% yields. The use of P-chirogenic sec-phosphine boranes leads to the free boronated phosphines with retention of configuration at the P-center after decomplexation. The reaction of P-chirogenic o-boronatophenylphosphine with KHF2 affords the corresponding trifluoroborated phosphine with ee >98%.

Firstly, both enantiomers of a tertiary phosphine can be obtained starting from the same oxazaphospholidine borane complex, prepared from (+)-ephedrine, when changing the order of addition of the organolithium reagents during the synthetic pathway. The second approach is based on the chlorophosphine boranes, which react with an organolithium reagent, to afford the corresponding phosphines with inversion of configuration. In the case where the chlorophosphine borane reacts with the t-butyl lithium reage…

Stereoselective synthesis of o-bromo (or iodo)aryl P-chirogenic phosphines based on aryne chemistry.

The efficient synthesis of chiral or achiral tertiary phosphines bearing an o-bromo (or iodo)aryl substituent is described. The key step of this synthesis is based on the reaction of a secondary phosphine borane with the 1,2-dibromo (or diiodo)arene, owing to the formation in situ of an aryne species in the presence of n-butyllithium.

Finally, these ring-opening products 4 are easily transformed into P-chirogenic organophosphorus compounds, by subsequent highly stereoselective reactions involving electrophilic or nucleophilic strategies.

Influence of Phase Modifiers on the Degradation of Tri-n-octylamine/dodecane Extracting Mixture by an Acidic Solution of Vanadium (V)

The kinetics of degradation of a mixture of tri-n-octylamine (extractant) and various alcoholic phase modifiers in n-dodecane in contact with acidic aqueous sulfate solutions containing vanadium (V) has been investigated. The nature of the modifier influences the kinetics of degradation and an improvement of the resistance against the chemical degradation is obtained when secondary alcohol (2-nonanol) or tertiary alcohols such as 9-octyl-9-heptadecanol are used as phase modifiers instead of 1-tridecanol. For instance, the kinetic constant of degradation is divided by one half when 9-octyl-9-heptadecanol is used as phase modifier instead of 1-tridecanol. On the contrary, the alcohols contain…

International audience; We have recently patented an unprecedented stereospecific N→O phosphinyl migration process which transforms P-chirogenic aminophosphines into phosphinites. A fine design of aminophosphine phosphinite ligands (AMPP*) derived from ephedrine and bearing a P-chirogenic center either at the aminophosphine or phosphinite moiety, was performed. The synthesis of AMPP* ligands with P-chirogenic aminophosphine moiety was based on the well-established stereospecific reaction of oxazaphospholidine-borane with organolithium reagents, followed by trapping with a chlorophosphine and borane decomplexation. Concurrently, the preparation of AMPP* ligands with P-chirogenic phosphinite …

Solvent extraction studies of uranium(VI) from phosphoric acid: Role of synergistic reagents in mixture with bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid

Abstract The extraction of uranium(VI) from 5.3 mol·L − 1 H 3 PO 4 (a typical concentration of wet phosphoric acid) with a series of neutral organosphosphorus synergistic reagents (0.125–0.250 mol·L − 1 ) used in mixture with 0.5 mol·L − 1 bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) in Isane IP 185 (a 100% isoparaffinic aliphatic diluent) has been investigated. The series of synergistic reagents includes tri- n -butyl phosphate (TBP), di- n -butyl n -butyl phosphonate (DBBP), n -butyl di- n -butyl phosphinate (BDBP), tri- n -butyl phosphine oxide (TBPO), tri- n -hexyl phosphine oxide (THPO), tri- n -octyl phosphine oxide (TOPO), tri- n -decyl phosphine oxide (TDPO), di- n -hexyl n -decyl pho…
