An examination of the effects of borate group proximity on phosphine donor power in anionic (phosphino)tetraphenylborate ligands

The ligand electron-donating abilities are compared among a series of monodentate, anionic (phosphino)tetraphenylborate phosphines [Ph4P][Ph2P-R-C6H4BPh3] (R = -C6H4-, -CH2-, -CH2CH2- or none), and their neutral counterparts Ph2PR (R = biphenyl, -CH2Ph, -CH2CH2Ph or Ph). Among the anionic ligands, the position of the tetraphenylborate group relative to the diphenylphosphino donor moiety was systematically varied in an effort to examine how its proximity impacts donor power. The donor power was determined by measuring the 31P-77Se coupling constant for the corresponding selenide of each phosphine ligand via 31P NMR spectroscopy. The anionic ligands yield lower 31P-77Se coupling constants than those measured for their respective neutral counterparts. Moreover, the 31P-77Se coupling constants among the anionic ligands increase when the tetraphenylborate group is positioned further from the phosphorus centre.

Ph2PI as a reduction/phosphination reagent: Providing easy access to phosphine oxides

The reaction of aldehydes with Ph2PI provides a facile way to the synthesis of pentavalent phosphine compounds with moderate to good yields.

Rapid phosphorus(III) ligand evaluation utilising potassium selenocyanate

Oxidative addition of SeCN- to tertiary phosphine ligands has been investigated in methanol at 298 K by use of UV-Vis stopped-flow and conventional spectrophotometry. In most cases kobsvs. [SeCN -] plots were linear with zero intercepts corresponding to a rate expression of kobs = k1[SeCN-]. Reactions rates are dependent on the electron density of the phosphorus centre with k 1 varying by five orders of magnitude from 1.34 ± 0.02 × 10-3 to 51 ± 3 mol-1 dm3 s-1 for P(2-OMe-C6H4)3 to PCy3 respectively. Activation parameters range from 27 ± 1 to 49.0 ± 1.3 kJ mol-1 for ΔH? and -112 ± 9 to -140 ± 3 J K-1 mol-1 for ΔS ? supporting a SN2 mechanism in which the initial nucleophilic attack of P on Se is rate determining. Reaction rates are promoted by more polar solvents supporting the mechanistic assignment. Reasonable linear correlations were observed between log k1vs. pKa, 1JP-Se and χd values of the phosphines. The reaction rates are remarkably sensitive to the steric bulk of the substituents, and substitution of phenyl rings in the 2 position resulted in a decrease in the reaction rate. The crystal structures of SePPh2Cy and SePPhCy2 have been determined displaying Se-P bond distances of 2.111(2) and 2.1260(8) respectively. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2008.
