Scheme 36.11 Parallel synthesis of a library of aminophosphine ligands.

Certain chiral phosphinite or aminophosphine ligands are also useful for amino acid synthesis. Hydrogenation with a CYCPHOS-Rh complex occurs rapidly to produce high optical yields. The efficacy of this reaction is ascribed to the flexibility of the ligand, which speeds the reaction and gives a fixed chelate ring conformation (26). 

Displacements. Nickel complexes can serve as an alternative to the Pd catalysts, e.g., in the synthesis of allylamines and a-allylmalonic esters. A report on the latter reaction states that bis(aminophosphine) ligands are more efficient than dppb and other usual phosphines. 

The diastereoselective synthesis of a 7 -chirogenic p-aminophosphine ligand 300 by carbon-carbon bond formation of the ethano bridge in a 3 1 ratio via reaction of an a-metallated f -chiral phosphine borane (5)-297 with a benzaldimine was described. The major diastereoisomeric p-aminophosphine borane (Sp)-298 was separated and decomplexed into the corresponding p-aminophosphine (5p)-300 under neutral conditions and without epimerization by heating at reflux in EtOH (Scheme 100) [198].

Aminophosphines. The synthesis and use of aminophosphines as ligands have been reviewed. Raeemie ehlorophosphines of the type R R PCl have been shown to react stereoselectively with chiral amines (1-phenylethylamine or aminoacid esters) in the presence of triethylamine to give the diastereomerically enriched aminophosphines (137), which were isolated as diastereomerically pure crystalhne borane complexes. This approach has also been used in the synthesis of chiral t-butylphenylphosphine oxide, via the acid hydrolysis of an intermediate chiral aminophosphine. Among other new mon-oaminophosphines prepared by treatment of primary or secondary amines with ehlorophosphines in the presence of a base are the adenine derivatives (138), the phosphinoalkylaminophosphines (139), " the aminophosphine-phosphine... 

The Aminophosphine-Phosphinites and Related Ligands Synthesis, Coordination Chemistry and Enantioselective Catalysis. 

A practical synthesis of new chiral aminophosphine ligands (37) based on the cam-phane scaffold bearing alkoxy groups has been accomplished. The application of these ligands in the Pd-catalysed allylic alkylation of ( )-l,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate proceeded with excellent conversions and enantioselectivities of up to 91%. 

Other chiral ligands such as BINAP (where BINAP is bis(diarylphosphino)-1,1 binaphthyl) or aminophosphines are also efficient for stereoselective synthesis of chiral-at-metal Ru complexes [39-41]. 

Scheme 33.4 One-step synthesis of aminophosphine phosphinite bidentate ligands.

The cyclic phosphinate (96) has been isolated from the reaction of dichloro(methyl)phosphine with the ethoxycarbonylimine derived from hexafluoroacetone. Treatment of trichloro(organo)phosphonium-hexafluorophosphate salts with dichloro(diethylamino)phosphine results in the halophosphonium salts (97). Some reactions of dichloro(-)menthylphosphine have been reported.As usual, nucleophilic displacement reactions of halogenophosphines have received attention as routes to new systems of interest as ligands.Of particular interest in this connection is a report of the synthesis of the phosphorus-functionalised calixarenes (98). Only one chlorine atom of dichloro(phenyl)-phosphine is replaced on treatment with an excess of dicyclohexylamine, enabling the stepwise synthesis of the chiral aminophosphines (99), described as air-stable solids. 

Aminophosphines. - The bis(V-pyrrolidinyl)phosphines (139), prepared conventionally by treatment of the appropriate organodichlorophosphine with an excess of pyrrolidine, have proved to be unusually electron-rich <7-donor ligands when compared to either tris(V-pyrrolidinyl)phosphine, or trialkyl-and triaryl-phosphines. Full details of a route to the polycylic aminophos-phirane systems (140) have now appeared. The bis(aminophosphine) (141) has been prepared and used in the synthesis of macrocyclic metal complexes. Two new chiral aminophosphine systems (142) and (143) have been prepared by transamidation of related aryl bis(dimethylamino)phosphines with a chiral amine. The chiral aminophosphine (144) has been obtained from the reaction of chlorodiphenylphosphine with the methyl ester of alanine. A range of ether-functionalised aminophosphines (145) has also been prepared. 

Aminophosphine phosphinite (AMPP) ligands constitute an important class of non-C2 diphosphorus ligands. Some of them are prepared from ephedrine and therefore the Juge-Stephan method constitutes an ideal procedure for the synthesis of P-stereogenic AMPP ligands (Scheme 4.30). ... 

Diastereoselective synthesis of a-aminophosphinates has been achieved by alkylation of iminomethylenephosphinates possessing a (l,l-diethoxyethyl)phosphinyl moiety. The feature of the synthesis is high diastereoselective control by the asymmetric phosphorus atom. The asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to A -diphenylphosphinoylimines afforded Ai-diphenylphosphinoylamides with enan-tioselectivity of up to 90% ee in the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral ligand (S)-iV-ferrocenoyl-2-[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]pyrrolidine (244) and Cu(OTf)2. ... 

Wang and Huang ° reported the synthesis of air-stable ligand 49 and its water-stable PN -type ruthenium pincer complex 50, containing an aminophosphine arm (Scheme 12), which was demonstrated to be an effective catalyst in hydrogenation of esters into the corresponding alcohols, under mild conditions.
