Various cis-β-phosphinolactams are synthesized stereoselectively for the first time from imines and diazo(aryl)methyl(diaryl)phosphine oxides under microwave irradiation. Diazo(aryl)methyl(diaryl)phosphine oxides first undergo the Wolf rearrangement to generate phosphenes. Imines nucleophilically attack the phosphenes followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic addition via less steric transition states to give final cis-β-phosphinolactams. C-Styrylimines generally give rise to β-phosphinolactams in higher yields than C-arylimines. The stereoselectivity and proposed mechanism are rationalized by DFT theoretical calculation.

Due to the excellent catalytic activities and phosphorescent properties that iridium complexes display, iridium chemistry has been of great interest for scientific investigation over the past 30 years. Iridium metallacycle analogues (also known as an iridacycles) bearing phenylpyridine (ppy) ligands have been well reported on, whilst complexes with R-phenyl-(3-R-phenylallylidene)amine, which is an α,β-conjugated Schiff base ligand, have not had the same attention, despite the fact that both ligands share a similar coordination mode. In this research, four pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridacycle complexes, Ir1a-Ir1d, with different α,β-conjugated Schiff base ligands were synthesized from a di-μ-chloro-dichloro-bis-(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)diiridium(III) precursor. The iridacycle complexes were characterized using spectroscopic techniques and the molecular structures of Ir1ab-Ir1d were determined using X-ray crystallography. The X-ray results revealed that the iridacycle complexes have a tetrahedral geometry, the iridium centre being coordinated through the N[dbnd]C[sbnd]Cα[dbnd]Cβ moiety of the α,β-conjugated Schiff base ligand. Computational calculations with the B3LYP method and with LanL2DZ basis sets indicated that the HOMO-LUMO energy gaps Ir1b-Ir1d were in the range 3.31–3.36 eV. The OMe substituent at the C terminal has a greater impact on the HOMO energy level than the one at the N terminal.

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have recently been advanced as efficient metal-free catalysts for catalytic hydrogenation, but their performance in chemoselective hydrogenation, particularly in heterogeneous systems, has not yet been achieved. Herein, we demonstrate that, via tailoring the pore environment within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), FLPs not only can be stabilized but also can develop interesting performance in the chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated organic compounds, which cannot be achieved with FLPs in a homogeneous system. Using hydrogen gas under moderate pressure, the FLP anchored within a MOF that features open metal sites and hydroxy groups on the pore walls can serve as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst to selectively reduce the imine bond in α,β-unsaturated imine substrates to afford unsaturated amine compounds.
