Lewis-base-catalyzed cycloisomerization of bis(enones) to decalins has been demonstrated as an alternative to the traditional Lewis acid catalyzed Diels-Alder cycloaddition. In this process, a trialkylphosphine mediates both bond formation steps in two distinct catalytic cycles. The single-pot operation generates two carbon-carbon bonds and up to five contiguous stereocenters in one step, starting from achiral, aliphatic substrates; eight examples are provided.

Phosphine-Mediated Reductive Insertion of α-Keto Esters and Isatins into Phthalic Anhydride Derivatives.

Herein, we report an unprecedented P(NMe)-mediated reductive insertion of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds including α-keto esters and isatins into phthalic anhydride-derived alkenes and phthalic anhydrides, which furnishes the corresponding isochroman-1-ones and isochroman-1,4-diones, respectively, in moderate to excellent yields with high chemo- and regioselectivity. Furthermore, the asymmetric version of the ring expansion reaction could be realized by using a chiral auxiliary strategy. Mechanistically, the nucleophilic attack of the Kukhtin-Ramirez adduct, generated from P(NMe) and 1,2-dicarbonyl compound, to the anhydride derivative, followed by a cascade ring-opening and ring-closure process, affords the ring expansion product.

Photoredox catalysis plays a crucial role in contemporary synthetic organic chemistry. Since the groundbreaking work of Shang and Fu on photocatalytic decarboxylative alkylations in 2019, a wide range of organic transformations, such as alkylation, alkenylation, cyclization, amination, iodination, and monofluoromethylation, have been progressively achieved using a combination of iodide and PPh. In this review, we primarily focus on summarizing the recent advancements in inexpensive and readily available iodide/phosphine-mediated photoredox radical transformations.

A novel unprecedented triphenylphosphine-mediated [4 + 3] annulation reaction of 2-benzylidene indane-1,3-diones and -diynoates through initial phosphine α-addition was discovered and found to result in biologically interesting indeno[1,2-]oxepin-4-ylidenes in up to 75% yield. The seven-membered separable and isomeric oxepins were confirmed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

A phosphine-catalyzed highly enantioselective and diastereoselective (up to 98 % ee and >20 : 1 dr) (3+2) annulation between vinylcyclopropanes and N-tosylaldimines has been developed, which allows facile access to a range of highly functionalized chiral pyrrolidines. Notably, this method makes use of vinylcyclopropanes as a synthon for phosphine-mediated asymmetric annulation reaction, which will offer new opportunities for potential applications of cyclopropanes substrates in phosphine-catalyzed organic transformations.

A domino [2+4]/[2+3] sequential annulation reaction of MBH carbonates with N-unprotected indoles has been developed to provide various pyrroloquinoline derivatives in ≤94% yield and 20:1 dr. The reaction could be either mediated by stoichiometric PCy or catalyzed by RPO via P/P═O redox cycling in the presence of phenylsilane. This method assembles polycyclic 1,7-fused indoles in one step diastereoselectively.
