Abstract

Hydrophosphination of alkenylalkyl ethers catalyzed by Pd- and Ni-complexes is described. The reaction is regioselective giving only Markovnikov product isolated as α-alkoxyalkyldiphenyl oxide after oxidation by H2O2.

Experimental Conditions: In a 8 mm tube filled with argon were placed Ni(PPh3)2Br2 (55 mg, 5 mol%), Ph2PH (279 mg, 1,5 mmol), alkenyl ether (1.65 mmol) and dry benzene (3 mL). The tube was sealed and placed in a hot bath. Reaction time and temperature are given in Table [2] . After cooling the tube was opened and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in 15 mL of Et2O and 2 ml 30% H2O2 was added. The mixture was stirred until the organic phase discoloured. The organic phase was separated, washed with water, dried under MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuum. The target compound was recrystallized from hexane or purified by column chromatography (Al2O3, Et2O). 1-Butoxy-ethyl(diphenyl)phosphine oxide (3a) was recrystallized from hexane (cooling up to -18 °C), colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 0.83-0.85 (t, 3 H), 1.22-1.26 (m, 2 H), 1.45-1.51 (m, 5 H), 3.19-3.25 (m, 1 H), 3.58-3.64 (m, 1 H), 4.19-4.23 (m, 1 H), 7.45-7.58 (m, 6 H), 7.88-7.92 (m, 2 H), 8.05-8.09 (m, 2 H). 31P{1H} NMR (162.6 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 30.0.
