Article Abstract
Allylic phosphonium ylides are readily generated by the combination of an allylic alcohol, a carbene, and a chlorophosphite. Here we demonstrate that these intermediates undergo a thermal [3,3]-rearrangement to provide single isomers of homoallylic phosphonates in good to excellent yields. This new reaction manifold for phosphorus ylides is tolerant of a range of substitution patterns on the reactants and provides access to structurally complex intermediates for the synthesis of enzyme inhibitors, aminophosphonic acids, and natural products.

The grafting of a -(CH)PR moiety on an NHC ligand backbone in the Mn(I) complex [Cp(CO)Mn(IMes)] followed by double deprotonation opens a route to bidentate ligands with extreme electron-donating character. Such remarkable electronic properties can even allow intramolecular sp C-H functionalization in typically inert square-planar Rh(I) dicarbonyl complexes.

β-Amino acids serve as crucial building blocks for a broad range of biologically active molecules and peptides with potential as peptidomimetics. While numerous methods have been developed for the synthesis of β-amino acids, most of them require multistep preparation of specific reagents and substrates, which limits their synthetic practicality. In this regard, a homologative transformation of abundant and readily available α-amino acids would be an attractive approach for β-amino acid synthesis.

A P-ylide Ru(II) bipyridyl complex was readily synthetized and fully characterized, constituing one of the rare examples of photoluminescent metal ylide complexes. Its photophysical and redox properties have been compared with those of related NHC and cyclometalated Ru complexes and exploited in visible-light photocatalyzed SET and EnT processes.

We report here a novel family of ylidic P-heteroarenes (P1-P6), structurally featuring unique phosphonium cyclopentadienylide (P-Cp)-fused π-skeletons and synthetically prepared via an unexpected one-pot [2+3]/[3+3] phospha-annulation reaction. While the facile and modular synthesis allows the fine-tuning of their optical absorptions and redox properties, single-crystallographic and theoretical analysis of these P-heteroarenes further reveal that the fusion of P-Cp moiety leads to substantial intramolecular charge-separated features with high ylidic character values of up to 84 %. Benefitted from such dipolar structures, these P-heteroarenes not only allows stepwise electrophilic substitution reaction for further structural π-expansions, but also exhibit excellent nonlinear optical (NLO) responses and optical limiting (OL) performances comparable to or exceed those of C.

30 Seconds to success!-The Wittig reaction, a fundamental and extensively utilized reaction in organic chemistry, enables the efficient conversion of carbonyl compounds to olefins using phosphonium salts. Traditionally, meticulous reaction setup, including the pre-formation of a reactive ylide species via deprotonation of a phosphonium salt, is crucial for achieving high-yielding reactions under classical solution-based conditions. In this report, we present an unprecedented protocol for an ultra-fast mechanically induced Wittig reaction under solvent-free and ambient conditions, often eliminating the need for tedious ylide pre-formation under strict air and moisture exclusion.
