We present an advancement in synthesizing organophosphorus compounds via chemoselective phosphorylation achieved by a palladium and SelectPhos ligand system (Pd/). This catalysis system exhibits remarkable chemoselectivity, even in poly(pseudo)halide substrates and overcoming toxicity and substrate scope limitations. The catalytic system is robust, which is demonstrated across diverse substrates such as chloroaryl and bromoaryl triflates.

In this study, a novel and efficient Pd-catalyzed chemoselective deuterodehalogenation reaction of halogenated aryl triflates was developed using isopropanol- as the deuterium source. This chemoselective reaction afforded an unconventional chemoselectivity order of C-Br > C-Cl > C-OTf. This catalytic system was successfully applied to chemoselective hydrodehalogenation of chloroaryl triflates, providing excellent C-Cl chemoselectivity over C-OTf.

A novel family of indole-amide-based phosphine ligands was designed and synthesized. The Pd/InAm-phos (L1) catalytic system exhibited excellent efficiency in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of sterically hindered (hetero)aryl chlorides to synthesize tri--substituted biaryls. Excellent product yields were obtained in a short reaction time (, 10 min), and a Pd catalyst loading down to 50 ppm was also achieved.
