Palladium-catalyzed coupling of allenylphosphonates, phenylallenes, and allenyl esters: remarkable salt effect and routes to novel benzofurans and isocoumarins.

Coupling reactions of allenylphosphonates (OCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)O)P(O)CH=C=CRR' [R, R' = H (1a), R = H, R' = Me (1b), R = R' = Me (1c)] with aryl iodides, iodophenol, and iodobenzoic acid in the presence of palladium(II) acetate are investigated and compared with those of phenylallenes PhCH=C=CR2 [R = H (2a), Me (2b)] and allenyl esters EtO(2)CCH=C=CR(2) [R = H (2c), Me (2d)]. While 1b and 1c couple with different stereochemical outcomes using PhI in the presence of Pd(OAc)(2)/PPh(3)/K(2)CO(3) to give phenyl-substituted 1,3-butadienes, 1a does not undergo coupling but isomerizes to the acetylene (OCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)O)P(O)CCMe (7). In the reaction of 1c with PhI, use of K(2)CO(3) affords the butadiene (Z)-(OCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)O)P(O)CH=C(Ph)-C(Me)=CH(2) (12); in contrast, the use of Ag(2)CO(3) leads to the allene (OCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)O)P(O)C(Ph)=C=CMe(2) (20), showing that these bases differ very significantly in their roles. The reaction of 1a with PhI or PhB(OH)2 in (t)he presence of Pd(OAc)2/CsF/DMF leads mainly to (E)-(OCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)O)P(O)CH=C(Me)Ph (21) and (OCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)O)P(O)CH2-C(Ph)=CH(2) (22) and is thus a net 1,2-addition of Ph-H. Compound 1b reacts with iodophenol in the presence of Pd(OAc)(2)/PPh(3)/K(2)CO(3) to give a benzofuran that has a structure different from that obtained by using 1c under similar conditions. Treatment of 1a with iodophenol/Pd(OAc)(2)/CsF/DMF also gives a benzofuran whose structure is different from that obtained by using 2a under similar conditions. In the reaction with 2-iodobenzoic acid, 1a and 2c afford one type of isocoumarin, while 1b,c and 2a,b give a second type of isocoumarin. The structures of key compounds are established by X-ray crystallography. Utility of the phosphonate products in the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction is demonstrated.

Further characterization of Mitsunobu-type intermediates in the reaction of dialkyl azodicarboxylates with P(III) compounds.

Structural characterization of compounds analogous to the proposed intermediates in the Mitsunobu esterification process is achieved by the combined use of NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometric studies. The results show that compounds (t-BuNH)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P[(N-t-Bu)(N-(CO(2)R)-N(H)(CO(2)R))] [R = Et (11), i-Pr (12)], obtained by treating [(t-Bu-NH)P-mu-N-t-Bu](2) (10) with diethylazodicarboxylate (DEAD) or diisopropylazodicarboxylate (DIAD), respectively, have a structure with the NH proton residing between the two nitrogen atoms ((P)N(t-Bu) and (P)N-N(CO(2)Et)); this is the tautomeric form of the expected betaine (t-BuNH)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)[(NH-t-Bu)(N-(CO(2)R)-N(-)(CO(2)R)]. Treatment of ClP(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P[(N-t-Bu){N-(CO(2)-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO(2)-i-Pr)] (6) with 2,6-dicholorophenol affords (2,6-Cl(2)-C(6)H(3)-O)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)[(NH-t-Bu){N[(CO(2)i-Pr)(HNCO(2)i-Pr)]}](Cl(-))(2,6-Cl(2)-C(6)H(3)-OH) (14) that has a structure similar to that of (CF(3)CH(2)O)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)[(NH-t-Bu){N[(CO(2)i-Pr)(HNCO(2)i-Pr)]}](Cl(-)) (13), but with an additional hydrogen bonded phenol. Both of these have the protonated betaine structure analogous to that of Ph(3)P(+)N(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)(R'CO(2))(-) (2) proposed in the Mitsunobu esterification. Two other compounds, (ArO)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)(NH-t-Bu){N(CO(2)i-Pr)(HNCO(2)i-Pr)}(Cl(-)) [Ar = 2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3)O- (15) and 2-Me-6-t-Bu-C(6)H(3)-O- (16)], are also prepared by the same route. Although NMR tube reactions of 11 or 12 with tetrachlorocatechol, catechol, 2,2'-biphenol, and phenol revealed significant changes in the (31)P NMR spectra, attempted isolation of these products was not successful. On the basis of (31)P NMR spectra, the phosphonium salt structure (t-BuNH)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)[(HN-t-Bu){N-(CO(2)R)-N(H)(CO(2)R)](ArO(-)) is proposed for these. The weakly acidic propan-2-ol or water did not react with 11 or 12. Treatment of 12 with carboxylic acids/ p-toluenesulfonic acid gave the products (t-BuNH)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)[(HN-t-Bu){N-(CO(2)-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO(2)-i-Pr)](ArCO(2)(-)) [Ar = Ph (18), 4-Cl-C(6)H(4)CH(2) (19), 4-Br-C(6)H(4) (20), 4-NO(2)-C(6)H(4) (21)] and (t-BuNH)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)[(HN-t-Bu){N-(CO(2)-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO(2)-i-Pr)](4-CH(3)-C(6)H(4)SO(3)(-)) (22) that have essentially the same structure as 2. Compound 18 has additional stabilization by hydrogen bonding, as revealed by X-ray structure determination. Finally it is shown that the in situ generated (t-BuNH)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)[(HN-t-Bu){N-(CO(2)Et)-N(H)(CO(2)Et)](4-NO(2)-C(6)H(4)CO(2)(-)) can also effect Mitsunobu esterification. A comparison of the Ph(3)P-DIAD system with the analogous synthetically useful Ph(3)P-dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) system is made.

New features in pentacoordinate phosphorus chemistry.

In reactions centered at phosphorus, whether chemical or biochemical, a pentacoordinate transition state species or an intermediate or a stable molecule is very often encountered. In this Account, recent developments in this important area are discussed and compared with the earlier literature. Particular reference, with results from our laboratory, will be made to the apicophilicity, fluxional behavior, bond parameters, and tetra- vs pentacoordination. It is shown that the familiar apicophilicity rules give an oversimplified picture as demonstrated by several exceptions. Extremities of the P-O or P-N bond distances in PX(4)N and PO(4)N systems as revealed by a database search and possible future directions in this area are also discussed.

Two phosphate-imidazole complexes with and without a hydrogen-bonded guest molecule.

The molecular structures of the complexes imidazolium 6,6'-di-tert-butyl-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-thiodiphenyl phosphate, C(3)H(5)N(2)(+).C(22)H(28)O(4)PS(-), (I), and imidazolium 6,6'-di-tert-butyl-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-thiodiphenyl phosphate diisopropyl hydrazodicarboxylate hemisolvate, C(3)H(5)N(2)(+).C(22)H(28)O(4)PS(-).0.5C(8)H(16)N(2)O(4), (II), have been determined. While (I) forms the expected hydrogen-bonded chain utilizing the two imidazole N-bound H atoms, in (II), the substituted hydrazine solvent molecule inserts itself between the chains. Compound (I) exhibits a strong N-H...O hydrogen bond, with an N...O distance of 2.603 (2) A. The hydrazine solvent molecule in (II) lies about a twofold axis and the N-bound H atoms are involved in bifurcated hydrogen bonds with phosphate O atoms. A C-bound H atom of the imidazolium cation is involved in a C-H...O interaction with a carbonyl O atom of the hydrazine solvent molecule.

Addition products of a P(III)-isothiocyanate to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates: a spirocyclic phosphinimine and a triphosphorus heterocycle with tetra- and penta-coordinate phosphorus.

Treatment of the P(III) isothiocyanate CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2PNCS (1) with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DEAD) yields the spirocyclic phosphinimines CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P[NC(S)C(CO2R)C(CO2R)][R=Me (2), Et (3)], in a reaction unlike those of organic isocyanates. From the reaction of 1 with DEAD, a second product, the triphosphorus compound 5, with the composition [2x1+3] but with a completely reorganized structure {CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P=C(CO2Et)C(CO2Et)=CN-}{CH2[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O]2P(NCS)}-SC=N-P(S)[(OC6H2-6-t-Bu-4-Me)2CH2] with tetra- and penta-coordinate phosphorus, is also isolated. Structure and reactivity of these compounds are discussed. Addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol to 2 or 3 leads to the pentacoordinate phosphorus compounds [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2P(OCH2CF3){C(CO2R)C(CO2R)-C(S)-NH-}][R=Me (6), Et (7)]. The phosphonate [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2P(O)C(CO2Et)=C(CO2Et)-C(S)-NH2] (8) is obtained by evaporating a solution of 7 in open air.

Diverse modes of reactivity of dialkyl azodicarboxylates with P(III) compounds: synthesis, structure, and reactivity of products other than the Morrison-Brunn-Huisgen intermediate in a Mitsunobu-type reaction.

The reactivity of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD)/diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) with P(III) compounds bearing oxygen or nitrogen substituents is explored. Compounds with structures quite different from that of Morrison-Brunn-Huisgen intermediate R'(3)P(+)N(CO(2)R)N(-)(CO(2)R) (1), observed in the Mitsunobu reaction, have been established by using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Thus reactions with X(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P-NH-t-Bu [X = S (8), CH(2) (9)] or XP(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P-NH-t-Bu [X = Cl (14) or NH-t-Bu (15)] and DEAD/DIAD lead to phosphinimine-carbamate-type of products X[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O](2)P[N-t-Bu][N(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [X = S, R = Et (16); X = CH(2), R = Et (17); X = CH(2), R = i-Pr (18)] or XP(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(N-t-Bu)[N-(CO(2)-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO(2)-i-Pr) [X = Cl (19), NH-t-Bu (20)]. Treatment of 19 with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol afforded the product [(CF(3)CH(2)O)P(mu-N-t-Bu)(2)P(+)(NH-t-Bu)[N(CO(2)-i-Pr)(HNCO(2)-i-Pr)]][Cl(-)] (21) whose structure is close to one of the intermediates proposed in the Mitsunobu reaction. The isocyanate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P-NCO (10) underwent 1,3-(P,C) cycloaddition with DEAD/DIAD to lead to CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P[N(CO(2)R)N(CO(2)R)-C(O)-N] [R = Et (22), i-Pr (23)]. Reaction of 22-23 with 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol or catechol leads to novel tetracoordinate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(2,2'-OC(10)H(6)-C(10)H(6)-OH)[NC(O)-(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [R = Et (24), i-Pr (25)] or pentacoordinate CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(1,2-O(2)C(6)H(4))[NHC(O)-N(CO(2)R)NH(CO(2)R)] [R = Et (26), i-Pr (27)] compounds in which the original NCO residue is retained; this mode of reactivity is quite different from that observed for the MBH betaine 1. In 27, the nitrogen, rather than the oxygen, occupies an apical position of the trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus violating the commonly assumed preference rules for apicophilicity. It is shown that the previously reported azide derivative 3, obtained from the reaction of 11 with DIAD, undergoes a Curtius-type rearrangement to lead to the fused cyclodiphosphazane [(CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2))P(OC(O-i-Pr)NN(CO(2)-i-Pr)N)](2) (28); this compound is in equilibrium with its monomeric form in solution at >300 K. Finally, reaction of S(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(OPh) (13) with DIAD gave the hexacoordinate compound S[6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O](2)P(OPh)[N(CO(2)-i-Pr)NC(O-i-Pr)O] (30) with an intramolecular S-->P bond. X-ray crystallographic evidence for compounds 16, 19, 21, 22, 25, 27, 28, and 30 has been provided.

Does a sterically bulky group occupy the equatorial site in trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus?

[structure: see text] The sterically bulky tert-butyl group occupies an apical position in trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus in the compound [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(t-Bu)(1,2-O2C6Cl4) in contrast to the occupation of an equatorial position by the small methyl group in [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(Me)(1,2-O2C6Cl4); this observation contradicts the familiar "apicophilicity rules" for trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus. Low-temperature solution 31P NMR spectra of [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(R)(1,2-O2C6Cl4) (R = Me, Et, and n-Bu) show the presence of more than two isomers.

Structural motifs in (t-butoxy) zirconium phosphinates, arsinates, and phosphates.

Reaction of zirconium tetrakis(tert-butoxide) (1) with dicylohexylphosphinic acid in toluene leads to the dinuclear compound [Zr(mu,mu'-O(2)P(cycl-C(6)H(11))(2))(O-t-Bu)(3)](2) (2) in which the zirconium is pentacoordinated. An analogous reaction using diphenylphosphinic acid in tetrahydrofuran also leads to a dinuclear complex [Zr(mu,mu'-O(2)PPh(2))(THF)((O-t-Bu)(3)](2).C(6)H(5)CH(3) (3.C(6)H(5)CH(3)), in which zirconium is hexacoordinated. A novel exchange of tert-butoxy and phenoxy groups occurs when 1 is treated with diphenyl phosphate [(PhO)(2)PO(2)H] leading to the isolation of the exchange product [Zr(mu,mu'-O(2)P(O-t-Bu)(OPh))(mu-OPh)(O-t-Bu)(2)](2) (4). In contrast to the above, trinuclear zirconium compounds Zr(3(mu,mu'-O(2)AsMe(2))(2)(mu2,mu'-O(2)AsMe(2))(O-t-Bu)(7)(mu-O-t-Bu)(2) (5) and Zr(3(mu,mu'-O(2)P(O-t-Bu)(2))(5)(O-t-Bu)(7).(1)/(2)C(6)H(5)CH(3) (6.(1)/(2)C(6)H(5)CH(3)) have been isolated from the reaction of 1 with cacodylic acid and di-tert-butyl phosphate, respectively. The X-ray structures of 2, 3, 5, and 6 have been determined; although the X-ray structural analysis of 4 could not be satisfactorily finished, it reveals the disposition of the substituents. The solution state NMR data suggest that these compounds undergo structural changes in solution. Possible relationships among the various structures are discussed.

Pentacoordinate phosphoranes with reversed apicophilicity as stable intermediates in a mitsunobu-type reaction.

Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) undergoes a cycloaddition reaction with the cyclic phosphites CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)PX (1) [X = NCS (a), N(3) (b), Cl (c), NHMe (d) and Ph (e)] to afford the novel pentacoordinate phosphoranes 2a-e as crystalline solids. This result is different from the reaction of PPh(3) with DIAD used in the well-known Mitsunobu reaction. X-ray crystallography of 2a, 2b, and 2d reveals that the nitrogen, rather than the oxygen, occupies an apical position of the trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus. This is in violation of the commonly accepted preferences for substituents in trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus. In 2e, although the oxygen of the five-membered ring occupies the expected apical position, the phenyl group also occupies (the other) apical position, forcing the more electronegative oxygen atoms of the eight-membered ring to span equatorial-equatorial positions. In contrast to the above, the isocyanato compound CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)PNCO (1f), upon treatment with DIAD, affords compound 3 to which a tetracoordinate structure is assigned.

Apical versus equatorial disposition of substituents in tetraoxyphosphoranes bearing a 1,3,2-dioxaphosphocin ring: implications on apicophilicity in trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus.

New spirocyclic (amino/amido)tetraoxyphosphoranes CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(NRR')(O(2)C(6)Cl(4)) [R = Me, R' = Ph (1), R = R' = i-Pr (2); R = R' = H (3); R = H, R' = Ph (4)] and the isothiocyanatotetraoxyphosphorane CH(2)(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C(6)H(2)O)(2)P(NCS)(O(2)C(6)Cl(4)) (5) have been synthesized. X-ray crystallography for these compounds reveals that -N(Me)Ph, -N(i-Pr)(2), and -NCS groups occupy an apical position whereas -NH(2) and -NHPh groups occupy an equatorial position in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry around phosphorus. These results are in contrast with the common assumption that a sterically bulky and less electronegative substituent [e.g. -N(i-Pr)(2)] should be less apicophilic than a sterically small and more electronegative substituent (e.g. -NH(2)). The possible rationalization for these results is discussed. Variable-temperature ((1)H, (31)P) NMR spectra of these compounds show some unusual features not reported before for pentacoordinate phosphorus. Probable intramolecular processes involving (i) apical-equatorial <--> equatorial-apical exchange, (ii) apical-equatorial <--> equatorial-equatorial exchange, and (iii) boat-chair <--> tub (for the eight-membered ring) interconversion as well as cessation of the P-N bond rotation have been invoked to explain the spectral features.

Novel reactions of phosphorus(III) azides and isocyanates: unusual modes of cycloaddition with dipolarophiles and an unexpected case of ring expansion.

New modes of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition are uncovered by the isolation of [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(C(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)N[NP(N3)(OC6H2-6-t-Bu-4-Me)2CH2]N) (3) and [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(C(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)C(O)N) (4) on treating [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P-X [X = N3 (1) and NCO (2)] with the dipolarophile MeO2CC identical to CCO2Me; compound 4 undergoes an unprecedented ring expansion upon addition of 2-(methylamino)ethanol to afford the spirocycle [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(OCH2CH2N(Me)CH(CO2Me)CH(CO2Me)C(O)N) (5).

Very short C-H...O, N-H...O, and O-H...O hydrogen bonds have been generated utilizing the cyclic phosphate [CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2]P(O)OH (1). X-ray structures of (i) 1 (unsolvated, two polymorphs), 1...EtOH, and 1...MeOH, (ii) [imidazolium](+)[CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2PO2](-)...MeOH [2], (iii) [HNC5H4-N=N-C5H4NH](2+)[(CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2PO2)2](2-)...4CH3CN...H2O [3], (v) [K, 18-crown-6](+)[(CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2P(O)OH)(CH2(6-t-Bu-4-Me-C6H2O)2PO2)](-)...2THF [4], (vi) 1...cytosine...MeOH [5], (vii) 1...adenine...1/2MeOH [6], and (viii) 1...S-(-)-proline [7] have been determined. The phosphate 1 in both its forms is a hydrogen-bonded dimer with a short O-H...O distance of 2.481(2) [triclinic form] or 2.507(3) A [monoclinic form]. Compound 2 has a helical structure with a very short C-H...O hydrogen bond involving an imidazolyl C-H and methanol in addition to N-H...O hydrogen bonds. A helical motif is also seen in 5. In 3, an extremely short N-H...O hydrogen bond [N...O 2.558(4) A] is observed. Compounds 6 and 7 also exhibit short N-H...O hydrogen bonds. In 1...EtOH, a 12-membered hydrogen-bonded ring motif, with one of the shortest known O-H...O hydrogen bonds [O...O 2.368(4) A], is present. 1...MeOH is a similar dimer with a very short O(-H)...O bond [2.429(3) A]. In 4, the deprotonated phosphate (anion) and the parent acid are held together by a hydrogen bond on one side and a coordinate/covalent bond to potassium on the other; the O-H...O bond is symmetrical and very strong [O...O 2.397(3) A].
