One-electron oxidation of enol phosphates, enol phosphites and enol phosphinates. Evidence for an unprecedented P–O bond cleavage in phosphoenol radical cations in solution1
摘要:
For the first time phosphoenol radical cations are generated in solution and monitored by cyclic voltammetry and EPR; the sterically congested radical cations undergo an unprecedented P-O bond cleavage, the kinetics of which are determined.

The new phosphoenols 1-6 and 9 have been synthesized starting from stable simple enols. Upon chemical or electrochemical oxidation, for the first time phosphoenol radical cations could be characterized in solution by cyclic voltammetry and EPR spectroscopy. The preparative one-electron oxidation of the model systems afforded the benzofurans indicating an unprecedented mesolytic P-O bond cleavage. Using cyclic voltammetry the kinetics of this step was determined in dichloromethane and acetonitrile. A rationale to account for the selectivity of the mesolytic P-O bond cleavage is given. Accordingly, reactive species P+(OEt)(2) (16) and P-.(=O)(OEt)(2) (18) can be generated selectively by mesolytic cleavage. At high scan rates, the partially reversible oxidation wave 1(.+)reversible arrow 1(++) could be monitored indicating that the dication of enol phosphate 1 is relatively stable.
