Scheme 7. Consecutive hydrofluorination and cyclization/fluorination of
unsaturated phosphine oxides
In conclusion, using single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies,
vibrational spectroscopy and in situ low-temperature NMR
experiments, we have provided evidence for the formation of
phophonium carbenium dications from unsaturated phosphine
oxides protonation in superacid. The superelectrophilic character
of these dications was shown to be essential for the syntheses of
various novel fluorinated and cyclic phosphine oxides. Evidenced
by the direct generation of fluorinated analogues of ion-channel
receptors agonists and desymmetrization of prochiral dialkenyl
phosphine oxides, precursors of non-heterocyclic P-stereogenic
compounds, this work opens innovative directions toward the
synthesis of new (fluorinated) valuable organophosphorus
compounds.
