Phosphonium salts have been prepared during high-energy ball-milling of triphenylphosphine with solid organic bromides; the reactions occur at ambient conditions without a solvent; in the case of 2-bromo-2-phenylacetophenone the reaction in a solution usually produces a mixture containing both the C-phosphorylated and O-phosphorylated compounds, while the solvent-free mechanically induced transformation results in the thermodynamically favorable C-phosphorylated product; the occurrence of the observed transformations during mechanical processing of solid reactants is confirmed by the solid-state 31P NMR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.

Free ions in organic solvents of low polarity would be valuable tools for the activation of low-reactivity substrates. However, the formation of unreactive ion pairs at concentrations relevant for synthesis has prevented the success of this concept so far. On the example of highly nucleophilic pyridinamide phosphonium salts in dichloromethane, we show that asymmetric aggregation offers a solution to this general problem.

Photoinduced Vicinal Difunctionalization of Diaryliodonium Salts To Access Bis(tetraphenylphosphonium) Salts.

Org Lett

January 2025

Key Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Feringa Nobel Prize Scientist Joint Research Center, Institute of Fine Chemicals, School of Chemistry & Molecular Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, 130 Meilong Road, Shanghai 200237, People's Republic of China.

Vicinal bis(tetraarylphosphonium) salts have scarcely been reported in the literature. In this study, we demonstrate that visible-light-induced difunctionalization of -trifluoromethylsulfonylated diaryliodonium salts conveniently furnishes bis(phosphonium) salts without additional catalysts or photoinitiators. The methodology establishes a practical platform for the preparation of bis(phosphonium) salts using readily available tertiary phosphines.

Pyridines can be deuterated at the remote sites by treatment with KOBu in DMSO- , although without discrimination between the - and -position. Herein, base-catalyzed deuterations have been studied, computationally and experimentally, using a series of pyridyl phosphonium salts with a temporary electron-withdrawing group to block the -position while increasing the acidity in the other positions.

Nucleophilic Functionalization of Activated P in [CpFe(CO)-(η-P)][Al(OR)] with Alcohols R-OH.

Chemistry

January 2025

Institut für Anorganische und Analytische Chemie and Freiburger Materialforschungszentrum (FMF), Universität Freiburg, Albertstr. 21, 79104, Freiburg, Germany.

The bonding situation in [Fp-P][Al(OR)] (1) (Fp = (CO)CpFe, R = C(CF)) gives rise to an Umpolung of the P fragment, which should make it accessible for nucleophiles. To investigate this projected reactivity, the complex was combined with a series of hydroxy-nucleophiles - that all do not react with free P - leading to a variety of P building blocks. With excess of R-OH (R = Me, Et, Ph), the thermodynamically more stable complex salts [Fp-P(H)(OR))][Al(OR)] (x=2,1,0) (2b-2d) are formed and show that the phosphonium type pathway is accessible.

(1) Background: Since the discovery of antibiotics in the first half of the 20th century, humans have abused this privilege, giving rise to antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Recent research has brought to light the use of antimicrobial peptides in polymers, hydrogels, and nanoparticles (NPs) as a newer and safer alternative to traditional antibiotics. (2) Methods: This review article is a synthesis of the scientific works published in the last 15 years, focusing on the synthesis of polymers with proven antimicrobial properties.
