- The Chloroazaphosphatrane Motif for Halogen Bonding in Solution
-
Chloroazaphosphatranes, the corresponding halogenophosphonium cations of the Verkade superbases, were evaluated as a new motif for halogen bonding (XB). Their modulable synthesis allowed for synthetizing chloroazaphosphatranes with various substituents on the nitrogen atoms. The binding constants determined from NMR titration experiments for Cl-, Br-, I-, AcO-, and CN- anions are comparable to those obtained with conventional iodine-based monodentate XB receptors. Remarkably, the protonated azaphosphatrane counterparts display no affinity for anions under the same conditions. The strength of the XB interaction is, to some extent, related to the basicity of the corresponding Verkade superbase. The halogen bonding abilities of this new class of halogen donor motif were also revealed by the Δδ(31P) NMR shift observed in CD2Cl2 solution in the presence of triethylphosphine oxide (TEPO). Thus, chloroazaphosphatranes constitute a new class of halogen bond donors, expanding the repertory of XB motifs mainly based on CAr-I bonds.

- P(PhCH2NCH2CH2)3N catalysis of Mukaiyama aldol reactions of aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic aldehydes and trifluoromethyl phenyl ketone
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Herein we find that proazaphosphatrane 1c is a very efficient catalyst for Mukaiyama aldol reactions of aldehydes with trimethylsilyl enolates in THF solvent. Only the activated ketone 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone underwent clean aldol product formation with a variety of trimethylsilyl enolates under similar conditions as the aldehydes. The reactions were carried out at room temperature using (1-methoxy-2-methyl-1- propenyloxy)trimethylsilane, whereas the temperature was -15 °C in the case of 1-phenyl-1-(trimethylsilyloxy)ethylene. The reaction conditions are mild and operationally simple, and a variety of aryl functional groups, such as nitro, amino, ester, chloro, trifluoromethyl, bromo, iodo, cyano, and fluoro groups, are tolerated. Product yields are generally better than or comparable to those in the literature. 1-Phenyl-1-(trimethylsilyloxy)ethylene, 1-(trimethylsilyloxy) cyclohexene, and 2-(trimethylsilyloxy)furan underwent clean conversion to β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds under our reaction conditions. In the case of bulky (2,2-dimethyl-1-methylenepropoxy)trimethylsilane, only α,β-unsaturated esters were isolated. Heterocyclic aldehydes, such as pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde, benzofuran-2-carboxaldehyde, benzothiophene-2- carboxaldehyde, and 1-methyl-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde, gave good yields of Mukaiyama products. An optimized synthesis for the catalyst 1c is also reported herein. 2009 American Chemical Society.
