RESUMEN
Herein, a facile method is developed for the synthesis of vicinal bisphosphine derivatives based on a cascade of hydrophosphinylation, elimination, and hydrophosphinylation of secondary phosphine oxides with nitroalkenes. This cascade reaction provides step-economy access to a series of vicinal bisphosphine derivatives with high to excellent yields (up to 99%). This method was further extended to prepare, in one-pot, regioselective vicinal bisphosphine derivatives that incorporated two different phosphorus functional groups.
RESUMEN
The organocatalytic enantioselective hydrophosphinylation of various secondary phosphine sulfides with aromatic and aliphatic nitroalkenes is presented in this study. The reaction produced chiral ß-nitrophosphine sulfides with excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield and 99% ee). Furthermore, the chiral ß-nitrophosphine sulfides can be easily converted into α-substituted ß-aminophosphine, which is a family of useful P, N-ligands and phosphine catalysts.
