Transition metal coordination chemistry and catalysis are rife with phosphine ligands. One of the rather less studied members of the phosphine ligand family are phosphine aldehydes. We have synthesised 3-(diphenylphosphino)propanal (PCHO) with a slight modification of the known procedure and studied its complexation behaviour with palladium(II) and platinum(II). The catalytic activity of the palladium(II) phosphine aldehyde complexes was investigated in Cu-free Sonogashira and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Furthermore, the homogeneous nature of the catalytically active species was confirmed.

Photocatalytic Alkene-Migrative Chain Elongation of 2-Phosphinostyrenes with Aldehydes.

The photocatalytic alkene-migrative chain elongation reaction of 2-phosphinostyrenes with aldehydes under mild conditions in response to blue light was demonstrated. A broad range of aldehydes, both aliphatic and aromatic, participated in this reaction to afford alkene-phosphine oxides in a -selective manner. Mechanistic experiments suggested the formation of benzophospholene-based ylide intermediates via photocatalytic cyclization of phosphinostyrenes followed by solvent-mediated proton transfer under base-free reaction conditions.

DFT calculations have been performed to gain insight into the mechanism of hydrocarbonylation of olefins and the origin of regio- and chemoselectivity. It is shown that the most feasible mechanism involves five steps: (i) decomposition of acetic formic anhydride, (ii) hydropalladation of olefins, (iii) CO migratory insertion, (iv) iodide-assisted acetate-formate exchange, and (v) formylation or carboxylation. Importantly, carboxylation proceeds via the decomposition of anhydride, followed by reductive elimination instead of direct hydrolysis of anhydride.

Methanolation of olefins is introduced as a new low-pressure synthetic pathway to C1 elongated alcohols. Formally, HCOH is added to the C=C bond in a 100 % atom efficient manner. Mechanistically, the overall transformation occurs as a tandem reaction sequence by combining the dehydrogenation of methanol to syngas at a CO : H ratio of 1 : 2 with subsequent hydroformylation to the corresponding aldehyde and its final hydrogenation to the alcohol.

Article Synopsis
- Experimental and computational research has highlighted the principles of redox-neutral C-H activation using iron(II) complexes, specifically through the dimethyl complex (depe)Fe(CH).
- The C(sp)-H methylation reaction of pivalophenone was discovered to be influenced by factors such as the type of phosphine ligands, the iron center's spin state, and the nature of halide or hydrocarbyl ligands in the corresponding complexes.
- Additional studies indicated that ketones and aldehydes are the most effective substrates for this reaction, and the research also established the significant role of orbital hybridization in enhancing selectivity in C-H activation.
