Triphenylphosphine catalyzed reaction

The triphenylphosphine-catalyzed reaction between allenoates and unsaturated keti-mines affords aza-bicyclo[3,3,0]octane derivatives in good yield with excellent selectivity (Scheme 3.135 and Example 3.19) [145]. These reactions were quite practical since they were operationally trivial to set up, and an assortment of diverse heterocycles were readily accessed using this method. 

The triphenylphosphine-catalyzed reaction of allenyl-diphenylphos-phine oxide with N- and C-nucleophiles gave y-substituted allylphosphine oxides. Scheme 59 shows the outcome of the reaction with phthalimide. " The bisoxide of BINAP was modified by double bromination using NBS in an ionic liquid (hexylmethylimidazolium PFs or Ntfa) (Scheme 60). The resolution of 2,2 -bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)-l,l -binaphthyl was accomplished via an inclusion complex with chiral 2,2 -dihydroxy-l,l -binaphthyl...

Scheme 150).225 227 The pyran products predominate when the ratio of triphenylphosphine to palladium catalyst exceeds two whereas the linear oligomers are the major products when this ratio is close to unity. The suggested227 mechanism (Scheme 151) includes a step of insertion of C=0 into a C—Pd palladium-catalyzed reactions leading to the formation of pyranones (see Scheme 152)228 and piperidones (see Scheme 139 in Section V,A,2).211 It is useful to note that the 2,5-divinyltetrahydropyran derivative can be transformed catalytically by ruthenium trichloride into synthetically useful 3,4-dihydro-2//-pyran derivatives (Scheme 153).229... 

Fell and Bari (89) also studied the rhodium-catalyzed reaction. A rho-dium-N-methylpyrrolidine-water catalyst system was very effective for producing the propane-1,2-diol acetate directly. The best yields (>90%) of product of about 9 1 alcohol aldehyde ratio were obtained in the region of 95°-l 10°C. This range was very critical, as were other reaction parameters. Rhodium alone gave the best yield of aldehyde (83%) at 60°C. Triphenylphosphine as cocatalyst induced the decomposition of the aldehyde product.

Murai and co-workers reported the silylformylation of aliphatic aldehydes in 1979.116 In this version of the transition metal-catalyzed reaction of HSiR3 and CO with various substrates, a formyl moiety is always present in the final product of the reaction. Murai utilized the Co2(CO)8 complex with a triphenylphosphine cocatalyst to catalytically form a-siloxy aldehydes from aliphatic aldehydes. An excess of reactant aldehyde is required to obtain the formyl products if silane is in excess, l,2-bis(siloxy)olefins are produced.117... 

A C5 synthetic unit which has ylide functionality and which is likewise accessible from 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-but-3-enal-dimethylacetal (27) has proved suitable particularly for the synthesis of apocarotenals. The copper-catalyzed reaction of (27) with triphenylphosphine (15) in the presence of aqueous acid leads to 4-triphenyl-phosphonium-2-methyl-buten-2-al (33). The bifunctional C5 ylenal (34), which is important for carotenoid syntheses, is formed therefrom with proton acceptors. 

A palladium-catalyzed reaction has been reported to C-6 alkylate 6-bromoimidazo[4,5-h]pyridine (109) <87EUP290153>. In this reaction, 2-methoxy-6-bromo-8-methylquinoline (110) was treated with butyllithium to give the 6-lithiated derivative (111). To this compound (111) was added zinc chloride, followed by 6-bromoimidazo[4,5-/>]pyridine (109) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0)... 

As shown in Equation (17), 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran also participated in a triphenylphosphine-catalyzed substitution reaction with Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates to provide interesting 7-butenolides regio- and diastereoselec-tively <2004AGE6689>. However, the reaction mechanism (vinylogous Michael vs. Diels-Alder) has not been distinguished. 

The reaction of dibenzoylacetylene and enol systems, such as acetylacetone, 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-l,3-dione, 1-naphthol, 2-naphthol, 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene, or 8-hydroxyquinoline in the presence of triphenylphosphine, leads to tetrasubstituted furans in 65-83% yield (Equation 115) <2002TL4503>. DABCO-catalyzed reaction of a-bromocarbonyl compounds with DMAD also yields highly substituted furans <2005JOC8204>. 

In a finding of greater practical significance. Overman and coworicers showed that the reactions could be carried out with catalytic amounts of the palladium(II) complex, and that the catalytic effect was broadly applicable to acyclic 1,5-dienes as well7 In a typical example (equation 32), 2-methyl-3-phe-nyl-l,5-hexadiene rearranges in 1 h at room temperature in 87% yield in the presence of 0.06 equiv. of bis(benzonitrile)palladium dichloride, in contrast to the thermal rearrangement which has t n = 13 h at 177 °C. The cat yst thus provides an estimated rate acceleration of about 10 °. The product is a 93 7 mixture of ( )- and (Z)-isomers, corresponding to the equilibrium ratio. Palladium acetate and tetra-kis(triphenylphosphine) were ineffective as catalysts. One serious limitation is that the catalyzed reaction occurs only with those 1,5-dienes which possess an alkyl or aryl substituent at C-2 or C-5 (but not both). 

Beginning with a discussion of the utility of tin-substituted glycals, Dubois and Beau [198] utilized 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-l-tri-fx-butylstannyl-glucal in coupling reactions with various aromatic substrates. As shown in Scheme 7.74, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium catalyzed reaction with bromobenzene provided an 88% yield of the desired product. Additionally, when... 

It has been known for many years that transition metals catalyze reactions of coordinated phosphines (2). Known reactions of phosphines as ligands include carbon-hydrogen lx)nd cleavage (cyclometalation), as well as direct carbon-phosphorus bond cleavage. Such metal-catalyzed reactions of phosphines lead to formation of new metal complexes which can affect catalyst properties. A known example is the reaction of triphenylphosphine to propyldiphenylphosphine during the rhodium-catalyzed propylene hydrogenation or hydroformylation (5).
