P–C bond formation via P–H addition of a fluoroaryl phosphinic acid to ketones
摘要:
The synthesis, structure and reactivity of the fluoroaryl phosphinic acid HF(4)C(6)-P(O)HOH is reported and compared to a sterically comparable yet non-fluorinated analog with similar size. The fluoroaryl phosphinic acid undergoes reversible P-H addition to the carbonyl functionality of ketones under formation of a P-C bond which is retained in the resulting alpha-hydroxy phosphinic acid. The latter shows an extended 2D hydrogen bonded network in the solid state. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
A fluoroaryl substituent with spectator function: Reactivity and structures of cyclic and acyclic HF4C6-substituted phosphanes
摘要:
The reactivity of a series of phosphanes with a fluoroaryl group (HF(4)C(6)-) carrying a spectator function in para position has been explored with respect to the formation of low coordinated and phosphorus rich phosphanes. An asymmetric diphosphene has been indentified as an intermediate in the synthesis of a linear 1,3-dihydrophosphane, while the symmetric diphosphene undergoes 2 + 2 cycloaddition under formation of the corresponding cyclotetraphosphetane for which a crystal structure could be obtained. Attempts to synthesize HF(4)C(6)-substituted iminophosphanes generally failed, which is attributed to the electronic nature of the corresponding precursors as suggested by quantum chemical calculations.
