Article Synopsis
  • The study introduces a method using phosphine to direct ruthenium-catalyzed alkylation, specifically targeting the C8 position of naphthalenes with alkenes.
  • This technique enables the creation of a diverse range of C8-alkyl substituted 1-naphthphosphines, which are beneficial in chemical reactions.
  • These new compounds demonstrated superior performance compared to typical commercial phosphines in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling process involving aryl bromides and alkylboronic acids.

Modification of commercially available biaryl monophosphine ligands via ruthenium-catalyzed P-directed-catalyzed ortho C-H secondary alkylation is described. The use of highly ring-strained norbornene as a secondary alkylating reagent is the key to this transformation. A series of highly bulky ligands with a norbornyl group were obtained in excellent yields.
