The hydrogen/halogen exchange of phosphines has been exploited to establish a truly useable substrate scope and straightforward methodology for the formation of cyclopolyphosphines. Starting from a single dichlorophosphine, a sacrificial proton "donor phosphine"makes the rapid, mild synthesis of cyclopolyphosphines possible: reactions are complete within 10 min at room temperature. Novel (aryl)cyclopentaphosphines (ArP)5 have been formed in good conversion, with the crystal structures presented. The use of catalytic quantities of iron(III) acetylacetonate provides significant improvements in conversion in the context of diphosphine (Ar2P)2 and alkyl-substituted cyclotetra- or cyclopentaphosphine ((AlkylP)n, where n = 4 or 5) formation. Both iron-free and iron-mediated reactions show high levels of selectivity for one specific ring size. Finally, investigations into the reactivity of Fe(acac)3 suggest that the iron species is acting as a sink for the hydrochloric acid byproduct of the reaction.

A rapid method for the reduction of secondary phosphine oxides under mild conditions has been developed, allowing simple isolation of the corresponding free phosphines. The methodology involves the use of pinacol borane (HBpin) to effect the reduction while circumventing the formation of a phosphine borane adduct, as is usually the case with various other commonly used borane reducing agents such as borane tetrahydrofuran complex (BH3?THF) and borane dimethyl sulfide complex (BH3?SMe2). In addition, this methodology requires only a small excess of reducing agent and therefore compares favourably not just with other borane reductants that do not require a metal co-catalyst, but also with silane and aluminium based reagents.

Catalytic dehydrocoupling of primary and secondary phosphines has been achieved for the first time using an iron pre-catalyst. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions and is successful with a range of diarylphosphines. A proton acceptor is not needed for the transformation to take place, but addition of 1-hexene does allow for turnover at 50°C. The catalytic system developed also facilitates the dehydrocoupling of phenylphosphane and dicyclohexylphosphane. A change in solvent switches off dehydrocoupling to allow hydrophosphination of alkenes.

The development of a simple, transition-metal-free approach for the formation of phosphorus-phosphorus bonds through dehydrocoupling of phosphines is presented. The reaction is mediated by electronically stabilized lithium chloride carbenoids and affords a variety of different diphosphines under mild reaction conditions. The developed protocol is simple and highly efficient and allows the isolation of novel functionalized diphosphines in high yields.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) and triisobutylaluminum have been found to be outstanding reductants for secondary phosphine oxides (SPOs). All classes of SPOs can be readily reduced, including diaryl, arylalkyl, and dialkyl members. Many SPOs can now be reduced at cryogenic temperatures, and conditions for preservation of reducible functional groups have been found. Even the most electron-rich and sterically hindered phosphine oxides can be reduced in a few hours at 50-70°C. This new reduction has distinct advantages over existing technologies.

Page/Page column 12-13, (2008/06/13)
This invention provides a method for generating secondary phosphines from secondary phosphine oxides in the presence of a reducing agent, such as diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H), triisobutyldialuminoxane, triisobutylaluminum, tetraisobutyldialuminoxane, or another reducing agent comprising: (i) an R1R2AIH moiety, wherein R1 and R2 are each an alkyl species or oxygen, and wherein at least one of R1 or R2 comprises at least 2 carbon atoms, or (ii) an R1R2R3AI moiety, wherein R1, R2, and R3 are not hydrogen, and wherein at least one of R1, R2, and R3 is an alkyl species comprising a β-hydrogen, not including triethylaluminum. Preferred reducing agents for the present invention include: diisobutylaluminum hydride, triisobutyldialiuminoxane, triisobutylaluminum, tetraisobutyldialuminoxane, and combinations thereof.
