Synthesis of Phosphonium Salts—Phosphine Structure and Inorganic Salts Effects
摘要:
Solvent-free reactions of 2- and 3-halopyridines with PPh3, PBu3, and PCy3 were studied under conventional heating, as well as under microwave irradiation. No difference was observed in the reaction course between classical and microwave reactions. 2-Bromopyridine gave quantitative yields of 2-pyridyltriphenylphosphonium bromide within few minutes at 190 degrees C. Equimolar amounts of some inorganic salts (LiPF6, LiOTf, LiBr NaPF6, KPF6) were necessary for the reactions of the other 2-halopyridines. 3-Halopyridines did not react with PPh3 even in the presence of LiPF6. Their reactions with PCy3 in the presence of LiPF6 resulted in the quantitative formation of dicyclohexylphosphine oxide.
