A new method for reduction of tertiary phosphine oxides leading to the formation of tertiary phosphine-boranes has been developed. The BH3-THF/Ti(Oi-Pr)4 reducing system enables conversion of triaryl, diarylalkyl and trialkylphosphine oxides directly to their borane analogues in good to high yields. In contrast to the previously reported protocols, the presence of activating groups in the structure of starting material is not necessary for the reaction to occur. The reaction is highly stereoselective and proceeds with predominant retention of configuration at the phosphorus atom. A plausible mechanism of reduction of the P[dbnd]O bond by BH3-THF/Ti(Oi-Pr)4 has been proposed.

The kinetics of quinuclidine displacement of BH3 from a wide range of Lewis base borane adducts have been measured. Parameterization of these rates has enabled the development of a nucleofugality scale (NFB), shown to quantify and predict the leaving group ability of a range of other Lewis bases. Additivity observed across a number of series R′3-nRnX (X = P, N; R′ = aryl, alkyl) has allowed the formulation of related substituent parameters (nfPB, nfAB), providing a means of calculating NFB values for a range of Lewis bases that extends far beyond those experimentally derived. The utility of the nucleofugality parameter is explored by the correlation of the substituent parameter nfPB with the hydrolyses rates of a series of alkyl and aryl MIDA boronates under neutral conditions. This has allowed the identification of MIDA boronates with heteroatoms proximal to the reacting center, showing unusual kinetic lability or stability to hydrolysis.

Mo(C-t-Bu)(CH-t-Bu)(Cl)(PMe2Ph)2 (1) was prepared as off-white crystals in 26% yield through addition of 2.5 equiv of Mg(CH2-t-Bu)2 to Mo(O)[OC(CF3)3]4 in diethyl ether followed by 3 equiv of PMe2Ph and a workup that includes dichloromethane (the source of Cl). Compound 1 is largely a syn isomer initially that equilibrates to give approximately a 1:1 mixture of syn and anti isomers within 1-2 h. Compound 1 reacts with Li(3,5-dimethylpyrrolide) to give Mo(C-t-Bu)(CH-t-Bu)(η1-Me2Pyr)(PMe2Ph)2 (2a) as a pale yellow solid in 76% yield, and 2a reacts with Ph3SiOH to give a mixture of syn and anti Mo(C-t-Bu)(CH-t-Bu)(OSiPh3)(PMe2Ph)2 (3a) in 84% yield. All three compounds tend to lose PMe2Ph to give 14e monophosphine complexes with the formulas Mo(C-t-Bu)(CH-t-Bu)(X)(PMe2Ph) (X = Cl, Me2Pyr, or OSiPh3), none of which could be isolated. X-ray studies show the structures of 1, 2a, and 3a to be analogous with τ values of 0.45, 0.53, and 0.69, respectively.

Diazo compounds as coupling partners are efficiently applied to Ir(III)-catalyzed direct C-H functionalization of arylphos-phine oxides. Involving C-H activation, carbene insertion, and tautomerism, this reaction proceeds under mild conditions, thus proving an approach to the synthesis of MOP-type ligand precursor in a single step. The utility of this transformation has been further demonstrated in ligand synthesis as well as in the construction of phosphole framework.
A study on the deoxygenation of trialkyl-, dialkyl-phenyl- and alkyl-diphenyl phosphine oxides by hydrosilanes

The deoxygenation of 1-alkyl-3-methyl-3-phospholene 1-oxides, which may be regarded as trialkyl phosphine oxides (R3PO), and the reduction of dialkyl-phenylphosphine oxides (R2PhPO) and methyl-diphenylphosphine oxide (MePh2PO) have been elaborated by applying user-friendly silanes, such as tetramethyldisiloxane (>SiH–O–HSin) under solvent-free, catalyst-free, and microwave (MW)-assisted conditions. New silanes of type Ar2SiH2, alkyl2SiH2, and Ar3SiH were also applied in a few cases. The reactivity of the phosphine oxides and the silanes could be mapped on the basis of our experimental data.

Recently, Br?nsted acids, such as phosphoric acids, carboxylic acids, and triflic acid, were found to catalyze the reduction of phosphine oxides to the corresponding phosphines. In this study, we fully characterize the HCl, HOTf, and Me2SiHOTf adducts of triphenylphosphine oxide and find that the thermally stable adduct Ph3POH+OTf– is efficiently converted into triphenylphosphine at 100 °C in the presence of readily available hydrosiloxanes. Under the same reaction conditions, also Ph3POSiMe2H+OTf– selectively affords triphenylphosphine indicating that silylated phosphine oxides are likely intermediates in this process.

A novel selective catalytic reduction method of tertiary phosphine oxides to the corresponding phosphines has been developed. Notably, the reaction proceeds smoothly with low catalyst loadings of 1-5 mol% even at low temperature (70 C). Under the optimized conditions various phosphine oxides could be selectively reduced and the desired phosphines were usually obtained in excellent yields above 90%. Furthermore, we have developed a one-pot reaction sequence for the preparation of valuable phosphinborane adducts. Simple addition of BH3THF subsequent to the reduction step gave the desired adducts in yields up to 99%.

The deoxygenation of a few diaryl-phenylphosphine oxides, dimethyl-phenylphosphine oxide, and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-3-phospholene 1-oxide was studied by phenylsilane, tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS), and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) under conventional or microwave (MW) heating, in toluene or in the absence of any solvent at different temperatures. It was found that the deoxygenation with TMDS or PMHS under MW and solvent-free conditions may be the method of choice and provides a green chemical approach.

Reduction of tertiary phosphine oxides and sulfides into the corresponding phosphines with amine-assisted aluminum hydrides has been studied. The method is characterized by mild conditions, short reaction time, high efficiency, and expanded substrate scope. The new method is an alternative to the currently used methods of reducing phosphine oxides or recycling phosphines engaged in organic reactions.

Addition of mono-dentate phosphines PMe3 and PMe2Ph to the W(VI) alkyl alkylidyne complex W(CH2SiMe3) 3(≡CSiMe3) (1) is reversible, each reaching equilibrium. Thermodynamic studies of the equilibria have been conducted, giving ΔH° = -10.0(1.1) kcal/mol and ΔS° = -23(4) eu for the addition of PMe3 and ΔH°′ = -3.0 (0.7) kcal mol -1 and ΔS°′ = -6(3) eu for the addition of PMe 2Ph, indicating that the addition is exothermic. The experimental measurement allows a benchmarking study to select a proper DFT method to describe the current system. Of the DFT methods tested, M06 has demonstrated superior performance in calculating binding energy of a bimolecular reaction. The calculated reaction pathways show that W(CH2SiMe 3)3(≡CSiMe3) (1) reacts with PR3 to form W(CH2SiMe3)3(≡CSiMe3)(PR 3) (PR3 = PMe3, 3a; PMe2Ph, 3b), and the adduct then undergoes α-H migration to form W(CH2SiMe 3)2(=CHSiMe3)2(PR3) (4a, 4b). 4a and 4b are found to be thermodynamically and kinetically stable intermediates. The calculations also suggest a pathway in the formation of the alkyl alkylidene alkylidyne complex W(CH2SiMe3)- (=CHSiMe3)(≡CSiMe3)(PR3)2 (5a).
