Efflux pump inhibitors are attractive compounds that reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. In the present study, 10 phosphorus ylides (P-ylides) were compared based on their MDR-reverting activity in human ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1; P-glycoprotein) gene-transfected L5178Y mouse T-lymphoma cells. Among them, three P-ylides, Ph3P=C(COCF3)COPh, Ph3P=C(COC2F5)COPh and Ph3P=C(COC3F7)COPh were identified as selectively modulating the ABCB1 pump. These compounds, with low cytotoxicity against mouse T-lymphoma cells, exhibited more potency than the positive control ABCB1 inhibitor verapamil.

Hypervalent iodine(III) reagents have become indispensable tools in organic synthesis, but gaps remain in the functionalities they can transfer. In this study, a fundamental understanding of the thermal stability of phosphorus-iodonium ylids is obtained through X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Insights into the structural factors affecting thermal stability and potential decomposition pathways will enable the future design and development of new reagents.

Geminal bromofluoroalkenes are an important subclass of versatile organic interhalide, which can serve as useful synthetic precursors to monofluoroalkenes that are valuable amide group isosteres. Nonetheless, despite the vast advancement of olefination methodologies, the broadly applicable stereoselective synthesis remained elusive for geminal bromofluoroalkenes before our work. In particular, the seemingly straightforward Wittig-type approach with interhalogenated phosphorus ylide has been unsuccessful because of the difficulty in the diastereoselective oxaphosphetane formation.

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.

Phosphine-promoted unprecedented [3 + 2] annulation reactions via ring expansion by using 2-benzylidene-indane-1,3-diones and diynoates for the synthesis of biologically interesting novel naphthoquinones fused with a five-membered ring bearing a phosphorus ylide up to 78% yield are described. Further ring contraction through [1,5] sigmatropic rearrangement to the spiro indan-1,3-diones by CPBA oxidation was revealed and inferred through oxidation, followed by protonation. The relevant structures were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Article Synopsis
- Electron-rich phosphines are important in transition metal-based catalysis, with zwitterionic groups like phosphorus ylides enhancing their donor strength.
- Recent research introduces a new ligand, N-heterocyclic olefin phosphines with sulfonyl substituents (sNHOP), which twists a double bond to create a zwitterionic structure.
- This new ligand shows improved donor strength and has proven effective in gold-catalyzed reactions, surpassing traditional NHOP ligands in performance, indicating strong potential for future catalytic applications.
