Nucleophilic substitution phosphorus nucleophiles

Phosphorus ylides are prepared from alkyl halides by a two step sequence The first step is a nucleophilic substitution of the 8 2 type by triphenylphosphme on an alkyl halide to give an alkyltriphenylphosphonium salt... 

The second most important nucleophilic substitution in pyridazine A-oxides is the replacement of a nitro group. Nitro groups at the 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-position are easily substituted thermally with a chlorine or bromine atom, using acetyl chloride or hydrobromic acid respectively. Phosphorus oxychloride and benzoyl chloride are used less frequently for this purpose. Nitro groups in nitropyridazine A-oxides are easily replaced by alkoxide. The... 

Kinetic studies have shown that the enolate and phosphorus nucleophiles all react at about the same rate. This suggests that the only step directly involving the nucleophile (step 2 of the propagation sequence) occurs at essentially the diffusion-controlled rate so that there is little selectivity among the individual nucleophiles. The synthetic potential of the reaction lies in the fact that other substituents which activate the halide to substitution are not required in this reaction, in contrast to aromatic nucleophilic substitution which proceeds by an addition-elimination mechanism (see Seetion 10.5). 

Hexafluoroacetone azine accepts nucleophiles (ROH, RSH, R NH) in positions 1 and 2 to yield hydrazones [27] Phosphites give open-chain products via a skeletal rearrangement [22] Radical addition reactions are also reported [22] Treatment of tnfluoropyruvates with tosylhydrazine and phosphorus oxychlo-ride-pyndme yields tnfluoromethyl-substituted diazo compounds [24] (equation 3)... 

The replacement of a heterocyclic hydroxyl group (generally in the 0X0 form, Section II,E, 2,e) with thioxo or chloro groups by phosphorus pentasulfide or phosphorus oxychloride presumably proceeds through nucleophilic substitution (frequently acid-catalyzed, 21 and 86) of thiophosphoryloxy and dichlorophosphoryloxy intermediates. The 4-position in pyrimidine is more reactive than the 2-position and, at low temperature, this type of thionation of pyrimidine-2,4-diones is specific for the 4-position. In as-triazine... 

Trichloro-s-triazine also reacts readily with carbon or phosphorus nucleophiles. Diethylmalonate anion forms a mono-derivative under mild conditions and the tri-substitution product (327) under vigorous conditions with excess nucleophile. Nucleophilic attack by the 7r-electrons of ketene diethylacetal to give 254 and of dimethylaniline to give 253 has been mentioned earlier. Two... 

Triazanaphthalene (449) is the most unstable of the pyrido-pyrimidines to ring-degradation at pH 2 or pH 7.7 The 4-oxo derivative was converted into the 4-thioxo compound via nucleophilic displacement of the acyloxy intermediate formed with phosphorus pentasulfide. The 4-carboxymethylthio-pyridopyrimidine underwent some substitution by hydroxide ion but primarily gave the ring-opening reaction, which is facilitated by resonance activation of the 2-position by the 6-aza moiety. 

Phospholes and analogs offer a wide variety of coordination modes and reactivity patterns, from the ti E) (E = P, As, Sb, Bi) through ri -dienic to ri -donor function, including numerous and different mixed coordination modes. Electrophilic substitution at the carbon atoms and nucleophilic properties of the phosphorus atom are well documented. In the ri -coordinated species, group V heteroles nearly acquire planarity and features of the ir-delocalized moieties (heterocymantrenes and -ferrocenes). 

Note that the first step in Figure 21.6—reaction of the carboxylate with ATP to give an acyl adenylate—is itself a nucleophilic acyl substitution on phosphorus. The carboxylate first adds to a P=0 bond, giving a five-coordinate phosphorus intermediate that expels diphosphate ion as leaving group. 

Like all anhydrides (Section 21.5), the mixed carboxylic-phosphoric anhydride is a reactive substrate in nucleophilic acyl (or phosphoryl) substitution reactions. Reaction of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate with ADR occurs in step 7 by substitution on phosphorus, resulting in transfer of a phosphate group to ADP and giving ATP plus 3-phosphoglycerate. The process is catalyzed by phospho-gjvcerate kinase and requires Mg2+ as cofactor. Together, steps 6 and 7 accomplish the oxidation of an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid. 

In the skeleton of many chelating diphosphines, the phosphorus atoms bear two aryl substituents, not least because the traditional route to this class of compounds involves the nucleophilic substitution with alkali metal diarylphosphides of enantiopure ditosylates derived from optically active natural precursors, approach which is inapplicable to the preparation of P-alkylated analogs. The correct orientation of these aryl substituents in the coordination sphere has been identified as a stereo chemically important feature contributing to the recognition ability of the metal complex [11,18-20]. 

Phosphine-borane 63a (75% ee) was obtained by reduction of compound (Sp)-62a using LDBB at -60°C and nucleophilic substitution with iodomethane in 72 % yield. The observed loss of optical purity may be ascribed to stereomutation of the generated tricoordinated phosphorus species. Recrystallization afforded (S)-63a in > 99% ee. On the other hand, severe racemization was observed using the same method with (Rp)-62b. An alternative strategy consisted of deborana-tion of (Rp)-62b using ZSl-methylpyrrolidine, methylation with methyl triflate. 

Diylide 1, by reaction with a phosphorus electrophile, Ph2PCl, lead instantaneously via a nucleophilic substitution and intramolecular prototropy to the formation of functionalized monoylides 10 (Scheme 11). 

The same fluoroalkoxy substituents, however, are able to enhance substitutional reactivity of fluorinated polyphosphazenes by originating methatetical exchange reactions on polymers in the presence of new nucleophiles and under appropriate experimental conditions. Thus, a series of exchange reactions at phosphorus atoms bearing the trifluoroethoxy substituents in PTFEP have been describedbyH.R. Allcock [508] (Fig. 13),Cowie [482,483] (Fig. 14), and Ferrar [509] (Fig. 15), while surface modification of PTFEP films were reported by Allcock [514,515] (Fig. 16 or 17) and by Lora [516] (Fig. 18). 

B. Reactions.—(/) Nucleophilic Attack at Phosphorus. A reinvestigation of the reaction between phosphorus trichloride and t-butylbenzene in the presence of aluminium chloride has shown that the product after hydrolysis is the substituted phosphinic acid (11), and not the expected phosphonic acid (12). Bis(A-alkylamino)phosphines have been reported to attack chlorodiphenyl phosphine with nitrogen, in the presence of a base, to give bis-(A-alkyl-A-diphenylphosphinoamino)phenylphosphines (13). In (13), the terminal phosphorus atoms are more reactive than the central one towards sulphur and towards alkyl halides. 

Almost no attention has been paid to diphosphine sulfides employed as chiral ligands for palladium-catalysed nucleophilic substitution reactions. In this context, enantiomerically pure diphosphine sulfides derived from 2,2 -biphosphole, which combined axial chirality and phosphorus chiralities, were synthesised, in 2008, by Gouygou et al. through a four-step synthetic sequence. Among various palladium catalytic systems derived from this type of ligands and evaluated for the test reaction, that depicted in Scheme 1.62... 

Nucleophilic substitution reactions involving the replacement of chlorine (or bromine or fluorine) atoms on the phosphorus have been among the most well studied reactions of cyclophosphazenes...
