The treatment of triphenylphosphine oxide with organometallic reagents leads to the substitution of up to three phenyl substituents with the incoming carbon nucleophile. The replacement of the phenyl/aryl group in tertiary diarylalkylphosphine oxides or even aryldialkylphosphine oxides was also observed. Naphthyl-substituted phosphine oxides undergo Michael-type addition at the naphthyl group when treated with organolithium reagent.

The synthesis of tertiary phosphine oxides from phosphonates was achieved reliably and in good to excellent yields using stoichiometric amounts of alkyl or aryl Grignard reagents and sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate (NaOTf). In the absence of the NaOTf additive, covalent coordination oligomers of magnesium and phosphorus species dominate the reaction, producing very low yields of phosphine oxide, but high conversions of the phosphonate starting material. Mechanistic studies revealed that a five-coordinate phosphorus species - not a phosphinate - is the reaction intermediate. A diverse array of phosphonates was converted to phosphine oxides using a variety of Grignard reagents for direct carbon-phosphorus functionalization. This new methodology especially simplifies the synthesis of dimethylphosphino (RPMe2)-type phosphines by using air-, water-, and silica-stable intermediates. To highlight this reaction, a new Buchwald-type ligand ([1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yldimethylphosphine, or methyl JohnPhos) and a classic bidentate phosphine, bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), were synthesized in excellent yields.

We have developed the first catalytic (in phosphane) Wittig reaction (CWR). The utilization of an organosilane was pivotal for success as it allowed for the chemoselective reduction of a phosphane oxide. Protocol optimization evaluated the phosphane oxide precatalyst structure, loading, organosilane, temperature, solvent, and base. These studies demonstrated that to maintain viable catalytic performance it was necessary to employ cyclic phosphane oxide precatalysts of type 1. Initial substrate studies utilized sodium carbonate as a base, and further experimentation identified N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) as a soluble alternative. The use of DIPEA improved the ease of use, broadened the substrate scope, and decreased the precatalyst loading. The optimized protocols were compatible with alkyl, aryl, and heterocyclic (furyl, indolyl, pyridyl, pyrrolyl, and thienyl) aldehydes to produce both di- and trisubstituted olefins in moderate-to-high yields (60-96 %) by using a precatalyst loading of 4-10 mol %. Kinetic E/Z selectivity was generally 66:34; complete E selectivity for disubstituted α,β-unsaturated products was achieved through a phosphane-mediated isomerization event. The CWR was applied to the synthesis of 54, a known precursor to the anti-Alzheimer drug donepezil hydrochloride, on a multigram scale (12.2 g, 74 % yield). In addition, to our knowledge, the described CWR is the only transition-/heavy-metal-free catalytic olefination process, excluding proton-catalyzed elimination reactions. A point of difference: By utilizing an organosilane to chemoselectively reduce a phosphane oxide precatalyst to a phosphane (see scheme), the first catalytic (in phosphane) Wittig reaction has been developed. The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of 22 disubstituted and 24 trisubstituted olefins, including a multigram synthesis of a precursor to the anti-Alzheimer drug donepezil hydrochloride.
Mechanisms of hydrogen-, oxygen-, and electron-transfer reactions of cumylperoxyl radical

Rates of hydrogen-transfer reactions from a series of para-substituted N,N-dimethylanilines to cumylperoxyl radical and oxygen-transfer reactions from cumylperoxyl radical to a series of sulfides and phosphines have been determined in propionitrile (EtCN) and pentane at low temperatures by use of ESR. The observed rate constants exhibit first-order and second-order dependence with respect to concentrations of N,N-dimethylanilines. This indicates that the hydrogen- and oxygen-transfer reactions proceed via 1:1 charge-transfer (CT) complexes formed between the substrates and cumylperoxyl radical. The primary kinetic isotope effects are determined by comparing the rates of N,N-dimethylanilines and the corresponding N,N-bis(trideuteriomethyl)anilines. The isotope effect profiles are quite different from those reported for the P-450 model oxidation of the same series of substrates. Rates of electron-transfer reactions from ferrocene derivatives to cumylperoxyl radical have also been determined by use of ESR. The catalytic effects of Sc(OTf)3 (OTf = triflate) on the electron-transfer reactions are compared with those of Sc(OTf)3 on the hydrogen- and oxygen-transfer reactions. Such comparison provides strong evidence that the hydrogen- and oxygen- transfer reactions of cumylperoxyl radical proceed via a one-step hydrogen atom and oxygen atom transfer rather than via an electron transfer from substrates to cumylperoxyl radical.
Unique evidence for a RhIII to RhI reduction by deoxygenation of a carbonate moiety to CO2 by an out-of-sphere phosphane

RhIII carbonate generated from either a peroxocarbonate complex [RhCl(CO4)(PR3)3] or [RhCl3(PR3)3] and Na2CO3, is reduced to RhI by deoxygenation of the carbonate moiety to CO2 by an out-of-sphere phosphane. The reaction takes place in mild conditions and is implied in the catalytic activity shown by RhI in the oxidation of styrene with O2/CO2 mixtures.
Solvolysis of phosphonium compounds containing a thiophenoxy group linked to phosphorus
Aksnes, Gunnar
, p. 43 - 50 (2007/10/03)
A kinetic study of the solvolysis of six alkylphenyl thiophenoxyphosphonium chlorides in 50% water/ methanol is reported. The rates of solvolysis, where thiophenol and phosphine oxides are formed, are little influenced by the substituents linked to phosphorus. The present findings are in sharp contrast to the 104 higher rate of the alkaline decomposition of tetraphenyl as compared to trialkylphenyl phosphonium salts, where phenyl is the leaving group. Further, the rate of solvolysis of the cyclic phenyl thiophenoxyphospholanium salt, is nearly identical to the rate of the corresponding dialkylphenyl thiophenoxyphosphonium compound. Calculation of the activation parameters of the solvolysis of thiophenoxyphosphonium compounds shows that the underlying reaction forces, expressed as activation energies and entropies, are strongly influenced by the substituents. The results suggest that the thiophenoxy group is expelled from the pentacovalent, trigonal bipyramidal reaction intermediate, before pseudorotation of the substituents linked to phosphorus takes place.
