Abstract

A novel catalytic system has been developed to accomplish the hydrophosphorylation of terminal and internal alkynes with high isolated yields (up to 96%) and excellent regio- and stereo­selectivity (>99:1). The key factor was to apply a low-ligated palladium/triphenylphosphane (1:2) catalytic system in the presence of a catalytic amount of trifluoroacetic acid. The catalytic system so developed has been applied successfully to permit the formation of diverse alkenylphosphonates utilizing a variety of available H-phos­phonates and alkynes.

Key words

addition reactions - alkynes - palladium - homogenous catalysis - phosphorylations

  • 20 Palladium-Catalyzed Hydrophosphorylation; General Procedure: Under argon, Pd2(dba)3 (31.1 mg, 3.0 × 10-5 mol) and Ph3P (31.5 mg, 1.2 × 10-4 mol) were placed into a septum-sealed tube equipped with a magnetic stir bar, followed by the addition of THF (0.5 mL) through the septum, and the mixture was stirred for 3 min. When the color of the solution became brown, the H-phosphonate (1.0 × 10-³ mol) and alkyne (1.0 × 10-³ mol) were added to the mixture through the septum. Then, TFA (11.4 mg, 1.0 × 10-4 mol) was added, and the tube was capped with a PTFE-sealed screw cap. The mixture was stirred at 50 ˚C (see Tables 4 and 5 for additional details relating to the ratio of the reagents or conditions). After completion of the reaction, the color of the solution remained brown or changed to light brown

The use of this compound to reverse the regioselectivity of a palladium-catalyzed reaction between diphenylphosphane oxide and alkynes was first reported in 1998, see ref. 9c. Later, Han et al. indicated that ‘it does not affect other palladium- or rhodium-catalyzed phosphoryl-hydrogen bond additions’, see ref. 9b; however, this additive was necessary to control the direction of phosphoryl-hydrogen addition in the case of the nickel system. Tanaka et al. have questioned the potential application of this additive for practical implementation in a recent study, see ref. 16. An acceptable mechanistic picture describing the influence of this additive on the regioselectivity of the addition reaction is not available thus far.

The ‘activated’ nature of the cyclic H-phosphonate facilitated the preferred formation of double addition product 7 in the palladium-catalyzed reaction, rather than the formation of product 3, e.g. see ref. 11.

Compound Isolation and Purification: After completion of the reaction, the products were purified by dry-column flash chromatography on silica gel, see ref. 23. Hexane-EtOAc (for 3a-c, 3e-i, 4a, and 10) and hexane-EtOAc-EtOH (for 3d) gradient elution was applied. After drying in a vacuum, the pure products were obtained. The products were isolated as colorless or light-yellow oils, and their isolated yields given in Tables  [4] and  [5] were calculated based on the initial amount of the corresponding H-phosphonate.

Complete characterization of all the isolated products with ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and microanalysis is provided in Section 6 of the Supporting Information.
