With phosphites

Suitable methods for linking a phosphoms—nitrogen bond to the ayiridine ring are the aminolysis of halogenated phosphoms compounds (2,280—282), the transamination of phosphoramines with excess a iridine (283), the reaction with phosphites (284) and phosphoramidites (285) which have a free OH group, or the reaction of phosphines with a iridines and carbon tetrachloride (286).

Speziale and his co-workers have carried out comprehensive studies of the reactions of phosphorus compounds. It has been shown 108) that the reaction of N,N-dialkyl-a-trichloroacetamides (127) with phosphites and phosphines gives trichlorovinylamines (128). In general the trialkyl-phosphines gave somewhat higher yields (60 to 83%) and purer products... 

Ti -Cyclopentadienyl(triphenylphosphine)cobalt reacts with phosphites and forms complexes of 1-alkoxyphosphole oxides 251 (R = Me, Et, Ph) through a step involving (ri -cyclopentadienyl)(phosphite)cobalt (80JA4363). (ri -Cp)Co(PF3)2 reacts with hexafluorobut-2-yne and 252 is formed, which hydrolyzes into 253 (X = OH) [73JCS(CC)583 75JCS(D)197]. The five-member ring has the envelope conformation, in which the carbon atoms are coplanar, and the phosphorus atom deviates from this plane in the direction opposite to the cobalt atom. The heterocycle is a four-electron donor relative to the metal center. 

With acyl halides, the corresponding acyl phosphonates are obtained. Furthermore allylic and acetylenic halides, as well as a-halogenated carboxylic esters and dihalides, can be used as starting materials. If substituents R and R are different, a mixture of products may be obtained, because the reaction product RX 5 can further react with phosphite 1 that is still present ... 

Another versatile approach, which nicely complements these Mannich-based procedures, incorporates a preformed symmetrical hexahydro-l,3,5-triazine (HHT) intermediate. In this case the phosphorus reagent reacts with HHT as a trimeric form of the normal aldimine species generated in situ between the amine or amino acid and formaldehyde. These HHT reagents can often be puritied and isolated prior to the reaction with phosphites. They are reasonably stable under neutral or slightly basic conditions, but they can readily revert back to the original amine and formaldehyde after heating with aqueous acid (25). Several can be purchased commercially. 

Certain heteroatom-substituted aliphatic phosphites have also been employed in these sequences, depending on their stability. Generally, phosphites bearing a-substituents led to higher yields than were obtained with phosphites having p-subsdtuents (27). For example, bis-p-cyanoethyl phosphite gave a relatively modest yield (-25%) of coupled triester product (34,35), whereas a very good yield (83%) of desired product was isolated ftom reactions with bis-a-cyanopropyl phosphite (36). 

The deoxygenation of peroxycarbonates (53) with phosphines and phosphites has been examined. Reaction with phosphites favours pyrocarbonate formation (Path A) whilst phosphines favour carbonate formation (Path B). Secondary phosphine oxides are oxidized to phosphinic acids by perbenzoic acid. The kinetics of the deoxygenation of hydroperoxides by triphenylphosphine have been examined and the reaction shown to be catalysed by strong acids. ... 

Trifluoroethanol has been shown to promote the addition of nitrenes, generated by the reaction of nitroso-compounds with phosphites, to aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. (57), (58), and (59) are formed from the reaction... 

The kinetics of formation of phosphonates by reaction of o-dinitrobenzene with phosphites have been examined. The energy of activation for the reaction increases as the nucleophilicity of the phosphite decreases, e.g. ethyl diphenylphosphinite 14kcalmol"S diethyl phenylphosphonite 16 kcalmol S and triethyl phosphite 21kcalmol . An intermediate of the type (61), formed by nucleophilic attack of the phosphite, was proposed. In (61) there is a particularly favourable electrostatic interaction. That p-dinitrobenzene is unreactive, is thought to stem from the fact that this compound cannot form an intermediate with such a stabilizing factor. 

The reaction with phosphite esters is known as the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction and proceeds through an unstable trialkoxyphopsphonium intermediate. The second stage is another example of the great tendency of alkoxyphosphonium ions to react with nucleophiles to break the O—C bond, resulting in formation of a phosphoryl P—O bond. 

Cobalt(III) complexes of formula cis- and trans-[Co(dtc)L4]2+ and [Co(dtc)2L2]+ where dtc = dimethyl-, diethyl- or piperidino-dithiocarbamate were prepared with phosphites P(OMe)3, P(OEt)3 and 4-ethyl-2,6,7-trioxa-l-phophabicyclo[2.2.2]octane as ligands L.1048 Whereas Co—P bonding is found, as defined in the crystal structures of each of the two forms of complexes isolated, a linkage isomer in which the phosphite is O bound was detected for the bis(dithio-carbamate) compounds. 

Arbusov reaction of thienyl halides with phosphites in the presence of nickel catalyst [41, 42], or palladium catalyzed phosphorylation of thienyl halides [43], and some of them are commercially available (Scheme 22). 2,5-Diphosphorylthiophenes were synthesized by Arbusov reaction of thienyl halides with phosphites in the presence of nickel catalyst [44] or reaction of 2,5-dilithiothiophene with phosphorus halides followed by oxidation [45] (Scheme 23). 

Nevertheless, the application of ionic liquids in the liquid-liquid, biphasic Rh-catalysed hydroformylation offers technically interesting advantages vs. the traditional aqueous biphasic catalysis e.g. much higher solubility for longer chain olefins and the compatibility of the ionic liquid with phosphite ligands [51]. 

Some of these coupling reactions can be made catalytic if hydrogen is eliminated and combines with the anion, thus leaving the nickel complex in the zero-valent state. Allylation of alkynes or of strained olefins with allylic acetates and nickel complexes with phosphites has been achieved (example 38, Table III). 

The values of rate constants of the hydroperoxide reaction with phosphites are given in Table 17.1. 

Rate Constants of Reactions of Cumylhydroperoxide with Phosphites... 

Of these reactions, the reaction of the peroxyl radical with phosphite is the slowest. The rate constant of this reaction ranges from 102 to 103 L mol 1 s 1 which is two to three orders of magnitude lower than the rate constant of similar reactions with phenols and aromatic amines. Namely, this reaction limits chain propagation in the oxidation of phosphites. Therefore, the chain oxidation of trialkyl phosphites involves chain propagation reactions with the participation of both peroxyl and phosphoranylperoxyl radicals ... 

The mechanism of inhibitory action of aryl phosphites seems to be relatively complex. Phosphites reduce hydroperoxide and thus decrease chain autoinitiation. The formed peroxyl and alkoxyl radicals react with phosphites to form aroxyl radicals. The latter terminates the chains by reaction with peroxyl radicals. On the other hand, phosphites are hydrolyzed with...

Since then, optically active a-aminophosphonates have been obtained by a variety of methods including resolution, asymmetric phosphite additions to imine double bonds and sugar-based nitrones, condensation of optically active ureas with phosphites and aldehydes, catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation, and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. These approaches have been discussed in a comprehensive review by Dhawan and Redmore.9 More recent protocols involve electrophilic amination of homochiral dioxane acetals,10 alkylation of homochiral imines derived from pinanone11 and ketopinic acid,12 and alkylation of homochiral, bicyclic phosphonamides.13...
