Secondary phosphine oxides react with vinyl sulfides (both alkyl- and aryl-substituted sulfides) under aerobic and solvent-free conditions (80 °C, air, 7-30 h) to afford 1-hydroxy-2-(organosulfanyl)ethyl(diorganyl)phosphine oxides in 70-93% yields.

Base promoted regio- and stereoselective hydrophosphinylation of allenes.

Org Biomol Chem

December 2024

Department of Chemistry, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361001, Fujian, People's Republic of China.

A novel and transition-metal-free hydrophosphinylation of allenes with secondary phosphine oxides was developed. In the presence of the cheap and commercially available cesium carbonate, various hydrophosphinylation products were synthesized with exclusive regio- and stereoselectivity under mild conditions. This methodology provides simple and efficient access to ()-alkenylphosphine oxides in moderate to excellent yields with a relatively broad substrate scope.

The synthesis of a novel phosphine-based pincer chromium(II) complex CrCl(PONN) (Cr-1) is reported in this study. The complex exhibited promising catalytic performance in C-C and C-N bond formation using the borrowing hydrogen methodology. Cr-1 catalyzed the α-alkylation of ketones using primary alcohols as alkyl surrogates in the presence of catalytic amount of a base.

Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling of Aryl Chlorides with Secondary Phosphines to Construct Unsymmetrical Tertiary Phosphines.

Org Lett

December 2024

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Applied Chemistry Technology and Resource Development, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, Guangxi, P. R. China.

The functionalization of the C-Cl bond in unactivated aryl chlorides under mild conditions presents a significant challenge. We disclose a general protocol for constructing both partially and entirely unsymmetrical tertiary phosphines through the Pd/keYPhos-catalyzed coupling of aryl chlorides with secondary phosphines under mild conditions. The reaction exhibits excellent functional group tolerance and broad substrate scopes.

Quantifying Lewis acidity is essential for understanding and optimizing the performance of Lewis acids in diverse applications. Next to the widely accepted Gutmann-Beckett (GB) method, using triethyl phosphine oxide (TEPO) as a probe, the Childs method-employing trans-crotonaldehyde (TCA)-gained attention as an NMR-based technique for measuring effective Lewis acidity (eLA). Despite its steady use, the robustness of Childs method and its correlation with other measures remain underexplored.

The roadmap for sucrose - a very inexpensive raw product.

Adv Carbohydr Chem Biochem

November 2024

Institute of Organic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland.

Sucrose, an inexpensive starting material available in virtually unlimited quantities, affords entry into a variety of novel and useful carbohydrate compounds. Selective protection of the secondary hydroxyl groups gives rise to a group of O-benzyl-protected intermediates that are useful in the synthesis of chiral phosphines and amino compounds of interest in the study of biological systems. The benzyl-protected fine chemicals are also key components in the synthesis of crown, thia-crown, and aza-crown compounds.
