Ligands phosphoramide

In 1999, Shi el al. showed that a diphenylthiophosphoramide derived from (li ,2i )-l,2-diaminocyclohexane could be used as a ligand in the catalytic asymmetric addition of ZnEt2 to aldehydes in the presence of Ti(Oi-Pr)4, providing the corresponding alcohols in enantioselectivities of 40-50% ee (Scheme 3.20). Another class of new ligands such as the phenylthio-phosphoramide of (7 )-1,1 -binaphthyl-2,2 -diamine was developed by the same group, and further tested as a ligand in the same conditions (Scheme 3.20). ...

Having established a very effective method for the synthesis of tricar-bonyl(T74-vinylketene)iron(0) complexes, Thomas has subsequently undertaken the most comprehensive study on the reactivity of these complexes to date. The reactions of 221 with phosphoramidate anions,90134 coordinating ligands such as phosphines3 and isonitriles,69,87,89,135,142,143 a variety of nucleophiles,86,89135142 phosphonoacetate anions,88,89 alkynes,108,109,144,145 and al-kenes146,147 have ah been investigated. Crucially, Thomas has also developed a method138 for the kinetic resolution of the vinylketene complexes (221) that ultimately yields enantiomerically pure samples of the complex. This... 

The coordination state of the silyl enol ether in the transition state strongly influences the diastereoselectivity (synlanti). If a ligand is sterically demanding, like phosphoramide 33, a boat-like transition state with a pentacoordinated silicate is formed and affords the syn product in the reaction of trichlorosilyl enol ether with benzaldehyde. In contrast, the less hindered ligand 34 gave the anti product through a chair-like transition state with a hexacoordinated silicate (Scheme 25). 

The basic principles of the mechanism of this Lewis-base-catalyzed aldol reaction have already been described in Section 6.2.1.1. With regard to the course of the enantio- and diastereoselective formation of aldol adducts with two stereogenic centers, it is proposed that synthesis of anti-products proceeds via a chair-like transition structure. A distinctive feature of the cationic transition state complex is a hexacoordinated silicon atom bearing two chiral phosphoramide molecules as ligands (Scheme 6.30). 

The cyclohexadienone 10 undergoes an intramolecular asymmetric Heck reaction in the presence of a chiral monodentate phosphoramidate ligand to give the benzo[c]chromene derivative 11 with excellent enantioselectivity and conversion <02JA184>. 

One of the drawbacks of the use of bisphosphines is the elaborate syntheses necessary for their preparation. Many efforts have been directed towards the development of bis-phosphonites and bis-phosphites. However, surprisingly mono-dentate phosphinates, phosphates and phosphoramidates recently emerged as effective alternatives for bidentate phosphines (Fig. 3.29). This constitutes an important breakthrough in this area as these can be synthesized in one or two steps, and the cost of these ligands is an order of magnitude lower Monophos can be made in a single step from BINOL and HMPT. 

Co11 complexes containing phosphoramides (O = P(NR2)3)591 iminophosphoranes (RN = PPh3)592 and phosphinates ( 02PR R2)593 are known, as are distorted octahedral complexes containing the neutral chelating ligands (171),m (172)595 and (173).596... 

Ligands 35 and 36 were prepared from precursor 10 and from unprotected cyclen, respectively, using standard methods. Ligands 38 and 39, which have the uncommon 1,7-substitution pattern, were prepared with 4,10-protection of the cyclen residue achieved using bis(phosphoramide) 37 (57). The Zn(II) complexes of 35, 36, 38, and 39 as well as 32 selectively bind to the adenine/thymine-rich regions of double-stranded DNA via the thymine base using the fifth coordination site of the Zn(II) ion. 

The reaction of simple cyclic vinyl aziridines with organozinc reagents typically provides the 1,4-addition product <2003TL8559>. Several binaphthyl phosphoramidate ligands were examined. In all cases, the /ra r-product 159a was the major product. When no catalyst was used a roughly 1 1 mixture of the trans. cis product was obtained. The use of the chiral phosphoramidate catalyst provided 159a with moderate % ee values (Equation 43). 

Enantioselective Addition of Dialkylzincs to Imines. Enantioselective addition of dialkylzincs to N-diphenyl-phosphinoylimines in the presence of DBNE or its analog affords optically active phosphoramides. Subsequent hydrolysis affords optically active amines in up to 91% ee (eq 25). When the amount of DBNE is catalytic (10 mol %), the enantioselec-tivity is 75% ee. One of the advantages of this method over the alkyllithium method is the use of a lesser amount of chiral ligand.

A new synthetic route to bis-methylene analogues of triphosphate esters has been reported. Lithiated methaneselenophosphonate and methanethiophos-phonate anions can condense several times with polyfunctional substrates such as chlorophosphites and phosphoramidous chlorides prior to esterifica-tion/trans-esterification and selenation or oxidation. A water-soluble phos-phonate-functionalized phosphine ligand (361) has been prepared in eight steps...
