Modular Phosphole-Methano-Bridged-Phosphine(Borane) Ligands. Application to Rhodium-Catalyzed Reactions
The synthesis of the phospholyl(phosphinoborane)methane air- and moisture-stable hybrid ligands 4a–f, starting from 1-phenylphospholes 1a–d, was performed via P–C bond coupling on the methano bridge. Two strategies were investigated, according to the phospholyl moiety used as a nucleophilic or an electrophilic reagent. In the first pathway, the phospholyl anions react with the easily available (chloromethyl)diphenylphosphine–borane 3 to afford ligands 4a–d in 29–67% isolated yields. In the second pathway, the phospholyl(dicyclohexylphosphinoborane)methane ligands 4e,f were synthesized in 18–23% yields, through a nucleophilic substitution on the cyanophosphole. Removal of the BH3 moiety on 4…
First Dibenzophospholyl(diphenylphosphino)methane−Borane Hybrid P−(η2-BH3) Ligand: Synthesis and Rhodium(I) Complex
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.
Efficient palladium–ferrocenylphosphine catalytic systems for allylic amination of monoterpene derivatives
Ferrocenylphosphines added to [Pd(µ-Cl)(η3-C3H5)]2 dimeric precursor produce efficient catalysts to effect the allylic amination of terpenic allylacetates. Particularly convenient are tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, which allow the amination of allylacetates with good to excellent selectivity, and have turnover numbers as high as 80 000, for instance, for the formation of allylaniline. Herein, we report on reactions that selectively transform geranylacetate, nerylacetate, linalylacetate and perillylacetate into the corresponding allylic amines. These preparative methods give facile access to various products of great potential industrial intere…
Diphosphines of dppf-Type Incorporating Electron-Withdrawing Furyl Moieties Substantially Improve the Palladium-Catalysed Amination of Allyl Acetates
Highly active Pd/diphosphine catalytic systems incorporating new, air-stable ferrocenyl-furylphosphines allow nucleophilic allylic amination at room temperature with unprecedented turnover frequencies. For instance, in the presence of 0.01 mol % catalyst the coupling of aniline to allyl acetate occurs at a TOF of more than 10,000 h - 1 ; even the addition of the less nucleophile morpholine to allyl acetate is observed with a TOF of 4250 h - 1 . The amination of the sterically demanding geranyl acetate, a monoterpene derivative of interest in the flavour industry, at low catalyst loadings demonstrates the scope of this methodology, which provides in addition noticeable advantages in terms of…
