Palladium-catalyzed ortho-alkenylation of aryl hydrogen phosphates using a new mono-phosphoric acid directing group

A highly efficient Pd-catalyzed ortho-alkenylation is reported using a mono-phosphoric acid-directing group for the first time. This phosphoric acid-directing group is successfully utilized for the synthesis of various alkenylated products and offers a new approach to transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation.

Hydrogen phosphates: Self initiated organocatalysts for the controlled ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters

A series of arylhydrogenphosphates and aryldihydrogenphosphates was synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction. These compounds were assessed as catalysts towards the ring-opening polymerization and proved to be potent organocatalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters. The bulk polymerizations were performed in the absence of external initiator. The polymerization proceeds in a controlled fashion which leads to well defined polyesters with narrow molecular weight distributions. In the post polymerization experiments, kinetics, mechanism and monomer concentration effects were investigated. The kinetic results have confirmed the pseudo-living character of the polymerizations and mechanistic studies suggest that the polymerization operates through a cationic mechanism.

New phosphoroamidate compounds: Synthesis, structural characterization and studies on ZnCl2 assisted hydrolysis of the P-N bond

A variety of phosphorodiamidate compounds were synthesized from the corresponding phosphorodichloridate intermediates and phosphorus oxychloride. These were completely characterized using different spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies on one of them. Studies revealed that water in the presence of a mild Lewis acid like ZnCl2 was found to assist the hydrolysis of the P-N linkage. The proof of this concept was effectively realized through the hydrolysis of hexamethylphosphoramide.
