The diphosphination of alkenes through a radical pathway offers a promising approach for the rapid construction of aryl bisphosphines. However, such a synthetic strategy has not been successfully applied to the preparation of alkyl bisphosphines, partially due to the difficulties in the generation of phosphorus-centered radicals from common alkyl phosphine compounds. We herein demonstrate that this challenge can be overcome by hiring Janus-faced chlorophosphine as the phosphine source that can act as not only a radical precursor to generate phosphine-centered radicals but also a radicalphile to capture alkyl radicals. With this novel strategy, a photocatalyzed reductive diphosphination reaction has been established, allowing for a straightforward synthesis of both aryl and alkyl 1,2-bisphosphines from readily accessible alkenes and chlorophosphines.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.

The overarching goal of this study is to effect the elimination of platinum from adducts with cis -C≡C-Pt-C≡C- linkages, thereby generating novel conjugated polyynes. Thus, the bis(hexatriynyl) complex trans-(p-tolP)Pt((C≡C)H) is treated with 1,3-diphosphines RC(CHPPh) to generate (RC(CHPPh))Pt((C≡C)H) (14; R=c, n-Bu; e, p-tolCH). These condense with the diiodide complexes RC(CHPPh)PtI (9 a,c) in the presence of CuI (cat.

A bisphosphirane-fused anthracene (5) was prepared by treatment of a sterically encumbered amino phosphorus dichloride (3) with MgA ⋅ THF (A=anthracene). X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a pentacyclic framework consisting of 5 with two phosphirane rings fused to the anthracene in a trans-fashion. Compound 5 has been shown to be an efficient phosphinidene synthon, readily liberating two transient phosphinidene units for subsequent downstream bond activation via the reductive elimination of anthracene under mild conditions.

Cobalt complexes with chiral quinox ligands effectively promote the enantioselective conjugate addition of enones using aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenyl halides and sulfonates. Additionally, a cobalt complex with a strongly donating diphosphine, BenzP*, successfully catalyzes the asymmetric reductive arylation and alkenylation of α,β-unsaturated amides. Both catalytic systems show broad scopes and tolerance of sensitive functional groups.

Rhodium complexes in the -I and 0 oxidation states are of great potential interest in catalytic applications. In contrast to their rhodium +I congeners, however, the structural and electronic parameters governing their access and stability are far less understood. Herein, we investigate the two-electron reduction of a parameterized series of bis(diphosphine) Rh complexes [Rh(dxpy)]NTf (x=P-substituent, y=alkanediyl bridging P atoms).
