Electrochemical Oxidative C–H Phosphonylation of thiazole derivatives in ambient conditions

We herein report a direct electrochemical dehydrogenative C–H phosphonylation of thiazoles derivatives with H2 evolution. Employing electricity as the green and sole oxidant, cheap metal as electrode, the anodic oxidation together with cathodic hydrogen evolution process provides a green and efficient strategy for C–H phosphonylation. A diverse range of phosphorus products were constructed under external metal and oxidant-free conditions at ambient temperature, featuring atom economy, simple operation and wide reaction scope.

Microwave-Assisted Ruthenium- and Rhodium-Catalyzed Couplings of α-Amino Acid Ester-Derived Phosphinamides with Alkynes

Two different types of new phosphinamide α-amino ester derivatives have been prepared in moderate to high yields via ruthenium(II) and rhodium(III)-catalyzed ortho-C?H functionalization under microwave irradiation. Specifically, the ortho-alkenylated phosphinamides were produced through coupling of phosphinamides containing an α-substituted or α,α-disubstituted α-amino ester with internal alkynes under ruthenium catalysis. In contrast, Ru and the more effective Rh-catalyzed coupling of the α-unsubstituted glycine ester phosphinamide with alkynes resulted in formation of oxidative annulation products, phosphaisoquinolin-1-ones. The developed methods feature the use of easily accessible starting materials, short reaction time, exclusive E-stereoselectivity (for ortho-alkenylation) and good functional group tolerance. The alkenylation reaction was readily scaled up to gram scale. Furthermore, the obtained alkenylated phosphinamide could be transformed into P-containing dipeptides through hydrolysis of the ester group in the catalysis product and subsequent condensation with an α-amino ester.

Development of effective bidentate diphosphine ligands of ruthenium catalysts toward practical hydrogenation of carboxylic acids

Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids (CAs) to alcohols represents one of the most ideal reduction methods for utilizing abundant CAs as alternative carbon and energy sources. However, systematic studies on the effects of metal-to-ligand relationships on the catalytic activity of metal complex catalysts are scarce. We previously demonstrated a rational methodology for CA hydrogenation, in which CA-derived cationic metal carboxylate [(PP)M(OCOR)]+ (M = Ru and Re; P = one P coordination) served as the catalyst prototype for CA self-induced CA hydrogenation. Herein, we report systematic trial- and-error studies on how we could achieve higher catalytic activity by modifying the structure of bidentate diphosphine (PP) ligands of molecular Ru catalysts. Carbon chains connecting two P atoms as well as Ar groups substituted on the P atoms of PP ligands were intensively varied, and the induction of active Ru catalysts from precatalyst Ru(acac)3 was surveyed extensively. As a result, the activity and durability of the (PP)Ru catalyst substantially increased compared to those of other molecular Ru catalyst systems, including our original Ru catalysts. The results validate our approach for improving the catalyst performance, which would benefit further advancement of CA self-induced CA hydrogenation.

Enantiodivergent Kinetic Resolution of 1,1′-Biaryl-2,2′-Diols and Amino Alcohols by Dipeptide-Phosphonium Salt Catalysis Inspired by the Atherton–Todd Reaction

A highly enantiodivergent organocatalytic method is disclosed for the synthesis of atropisomeric biaryls via kinetic resolution inspired by a dipeptide-phosphonium salt-catalyzed Atherton–Todd (A-T) reaction. This flexible approach led to both R- and S-enantiomers by fine-tuning of bifunctional phosphonium with excellent selectivity factors (s) of up to 1057 and 525, respectively. The potential of newly synthesized O-phosphorylated biaryl diols was illustrated by the synthesis of axially chiral organophosphorus compounds. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the bifunctional phosphonium halide catalyst differentiates between the in-situ-generated P-species in the A-T process, mainly involving phosphoryl chloride and phosphoric anhydride, thus leading to highly enantiodivergent O-phosphorylation reactions. Furthermore hydrogen bonding interactions between the catalysts and phosphorus molecules were crucial in asymmetric induction.

Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Phosphorus-Containing ?-Benzosultams by Bifunctional Phosphonium Salt-Promoted Hydrophosphonylation

?-Benzosultam derivatives are potential drug candidates with diverse biological activities. A series of chiral ?-benzosultams bearing phosphorus functionalities was synthesized by catalytic asymmetric hydrophosphonylation in the presence of a bifunctional phosphonium salt catalyst. The desired hydrophosphonylation products were obtained in good yields with high enantioselectivities, and scale-up reactions and further derivations were successfully accomplished. Some control experiments were also conducted to elucidate the plausible reaction mechanism of this chemical transformation.

Twofold C?H Activation-Based Enantio- and Diastereoselective C?H Arylation Using Diarylacetylenes as Rare Arylating Reagents

C?H bond activation has been established as an attractive strategy to access axially chiral biaryls, and the most straightforward method is direct C?H arylation of arenes. However, the arylating source has been limited to several classes of reactive and bulky reagents. Reported herein is rhodium-catalyzed 1:2 coupling of diarylphosphinic amides and diarylacetylenes for enantio- and diastereoselective construction of biaryls with both central and axial chirality. This twofold C?H activation reaction stays contrast to the previously explored Miura–Satoh type 1:2 coupling of arenes and alkynes in terms of chemoselectivity and proceeded under mild conditions with the alkyne acting as a rare arylating reagent. Both C?H activation events are stereo-determining and are under catalyst control, with the 2nd C?H activation being diastereo-determining in a remote fashion. Analysis of the stereochemistry of the major and side products suggests moderate enantioselectivity of the initial C?H activation–desymmetrization process. However, the minor (R) rhodium vinyl intermediate is consumed more readily in undesired protonolysis, eventually resulting in high enantio- and diastereoselectivity of the major product.

A highly efficient base-, metal-, and oxidant-free catalytic O-H insertion reaction of diazoalkanes and phosphinic acids in the presence of B(C6F5)3has been developed. This powerful methodology provides a green approach towards the synthesis of a broad spectrum of α-phosphoryloxy carbonyl compounds with good to excellent yields (up to 99% yield). The protocol features the advantages of operational simplicity, high atom economy, practicality, easy scalability and environmental friendliness.

Organic photoredox catalytic α-C(sp3)-H phosphorylation of saturated: Aza -heterocycles

This protocol provided straightforward and economic access to a variety of valuable α-phosphoryl cyclic amines by using commercially available diarylphosphine oxide reagents. In addition, the D-A fluorescent molecule DCQ was used for the first time as a photocatalyst and exhibited an excellent photoredox catalytic efficiency in this transformation. A series of mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations demonstrated that this transformation underwent a sequential visible light photoredox catalytic oxidation/nucleophilic addition process.
