Hydrophosphination

Hydrophosphination is the addition of a phosphorus-hydrogen bond across a carbon-carbon multiple bond (Scheme 1) forming a new phosphorus-carbon bond.[1] Hydrophosphination has a high atom economy.[2]

Scheme 1. The reaction of hydrophosphination.

Like other metal-catalyzed heterofunctionalizations, addition of an E-H bond to an unsaturated substrate, a problem is encountered when E is a donor (hydroamination, hydration, hydrothiolation) because the product phosphines can poison the catalyst. Another consideration is that the P-H addition to a carbon-carbon multiple bond can occur in a variety of different ways.[2] The selectivity of the addition is influenced by the catalyst.

Background

A variety of routes exist for the synthesis of phosphines without a catalyst, e.g. using radical, thermal, photochemical.[3][4]

Radical-catalyzed hydrophosphination

Scheme 2. The reactions of radical hydrophosphination.

Ultraviolet irradiation or conventional free-radical sources initiate radical hydrophosphinations. H-atom abstraction from P-H bond produces the phosphino radical, a seven electron species (Scheme 2).[5] Phosphines with more than one P-H bond can react more than once to form the tertiary phosphines.

Hydrophosphination catalysis

The steps proposed for metal-catalyzed hydrophosphinations typically include coordination of the primary or secondary phosphine to the metal, activation of the P-H bond (via oxidative addition or proton abstraction by an external base), P-C bond formation (through either insertion, Michael addition, or [2+2] cycloaddition), reductive elimination or addition of the abstracted proton and finally substitution of the newly made phosphine by the starting primary or secondary phosphine.[6]

Early transition metal and lanthanide catalysts

Scheme 4. Proposed mechanism for Proposed mechanism for hydrophosphination of diphenylacetylene with phenylphosphine (PPhH2) catalyzed by a cationic titanium phosphinidene complex.

Most early metal hydrophosphination catalysts are electron-deficient, d0 metal complexes. Catalysis typically involves inner-sphere P-C bond forming through metal-phosphido intermediates due to the nucleophilicity of the phosphido, being polarized by the metal.[7]

Hydrophosphination of simple alkenes and alkynes is catalyzed by lanthanocene complexes.[8][9][10][11][12] The catalytic cycle for the hydrophosphination of α,ω-pentenylphosphine is shown in Scheme 3. Typical of most electron-poor early metal catalysts for hydrophosphination, this one includes the characteristic P-H bond cleavage and P-C and C-H bond formation steps. The primary phosphine undergoes a σ-bond metathesis with the bis(trimethylsilyl)methylene ligand forming the lanthanide-phosphido. This is then followed by a 1,2-insertion of the pendant terminal alkene or alkyne on the phosphine into the Ln-P bond. Finally, protonolysis of the Ln-C bond with the starting primary phosphine releases the new phosphine and regenerates the catalyst. Given that the metal is electron-poor, the M-C bond is polar enough to be protonolyzed by the substrate primary phosphine; this is characteristic of electron-poor, early metals.

Scheme 5. Proposed catalytic cycle for hydrophosphination of 1,3-dienes by diphenylphosphine, mediated by a cationic titanium phosphide complex.

Since many of the transition metal catalysts that are involved in hydrophosphination employ a phosphido intermediate, it is surprising that there are so few examples of catalysts that involve the metal-phosphinidene intermediate, M=PR. One such example is the Ti-catalyzed hydrophosphination of diphenylacetylene with phenylphosphine (Scheme 4) by Mindiola et al.[13] This system involves a cationic catalyst precursor that is stabilized by the bulky 2,4,6-tri(isopropyl)phenyl- substituent on the phosphinidene and the close ionic association of methyltris(pentafluorophenyl)borate. This precursor undergoes exchange with phenylphosphine to make the titanium-phenylphosphinidene complex which is the catalyst. The Ti=PPh undergoes a [2+2] cycloaddition with diphenylacetylene to make the corresponding metallacyclobutene. The substrate, phenylphosphine, protonolyzes the Ti-C bond and after a proton shift regenerates the catalyst and releases the new phosphine.

Titanium-catalyzed 1,4-hydrophosphination of 1,3-dienes with diphenylphosphine has been demonstrated (Scheme 5).[14] It is a rare example of a non-d0 early transition metal catalyst that catalyzes hydrophosphination. In the first step, the Ti2+ precursor undergoes an oxidative addition of the P-H bond in diphenylphosphine which generates the Ti3+ catalyst. The rest of the catalysis involve the usual steps: P-C bond formation via 1,2-insertion followed by C-H bond formation and P-H bond activation via protonolysis with the substrate secondary phosphine.

Late transition metal catalysts

Scheme 6. Proposed mechanism for hydrophosphination of enones catalyzed by the cationic palladium(II) catalyst.

Late transition metal hydrophosphination catalysts generally require alkenes and alkynes with electron withdrawing substituents.[15][16][17][18] This is due to the fact that mechanism for the P-C bond forming step usually involves nucleophilic attack of the phosphorus to the unsaturated carbon. Generally speaking, these metal complexes will first be bound by a primary or secondary phosphine, which then undergoes proton abstraction to make a nucleophilic phosphido ligand. The proton abstraction usually occurs by an external base.This base acts as a co-catalyst which is common to late transition metal hydrophosphination catalysts.[19][20][21][22] This complex catalyzes hydrophosphination of enones (Scheme 6). The bound secondary phosphine becomes deprotonated by the base triethylamine, forming the phosphido. Following this the phosphido attacks the β-carbon of the enone, which is bound to the palladium through its oxygen atom. The abstracted proton from the secondary phosphine is delivered to the enone oxygen. Substitution by another secondary phosphine regenerates the catalyst and releases the 1,2-addition product. Other common characteristics of such late metal catalysts that do not require oxidative addition of the P-H bond are: the metal in a 2+ oxidation state, and cationic complexes. These two features are important given that a base is needed because being cationic and in an oxidation state of 2+ increases the acidity of the coordinated primary or secondary phosphine proton and allows for weaker bases/conjugate acids to be used in catalysis.

Scheme 7. Proposed mechanism for hydrophosphination catalyzed by Pt(II) phosphido complex.
Scheme 8. Proposed mechanism for hydrophosphination catalyzed by Ni(0) catalyst.

Some late metal hydrophosphination catalysts rely on oxidative addition of a P-H bond. For example, a Pt(0) catalyst that undergoes oxidative addition of a secondary phosphine to form the corresponding Pt(II) phosphido complex (Scheme 7). Following this, alkenes such as acrylonitrile inserts into the Pt-P bond and then reductively eliminate to afford the hydrophosphinated acrylonitrile. This P-C bond forming step was found to occur through an outer-sphere, Michael-type addition because telomerization was occurring. The carbanion intermediate would attack another molecule of acrylonitrile affording a product that would be expected from many 1,2-insertions of the alkene.[23][24][25]

As stated in the last example, the alkene inserted into the metal-phosphorus bond, but insertion into the metal-hydrogen bond is also possible (Scheme 7).[26][27] The Ni(0) catalyst involves oxidation addition of a P-H bond to the metal, followed by insertion of the alkene into the M-H bond (Scheme 8). As a result of this, the product phosphine is produced through reductive elimination of a P-C bond rather than a P-H bond in Glueck's system.

Scheme 9. Proposed mechanism for hydrophosphination catalyzed by ruthenium(II) complex.

A prospective hydrophosphination catalyst utilizes a ruthenium(II) complex (Scheme 9).[28][29][30][31][32] Like the other late metal catalysts that require a base co-catalyst, this complex requires a base to deprotonate the coordinated secondary phosphine, generating a nucleophilic phosphido complex. The following reactivity varies from the other late metal catalysts in that P-C bond forming step involves a [2+2] cycloaddition with alkenes and alkynes forming metallacycles. The Ru-C bond of the metallacycle is then protonolyzed by the conjugate acid of the base co-catalyst. The newly formed phosphine is then substituted by the starting secondary phosphine to regenerate the catalyst and release the new phosphine. What makes this catalyst unique is that it forms metallacycles, or rather P-C bonds, with strongly and mildly activated, simple and electron-rich alkenes and alkynes, whereas the other catalysts discussed are rather limited; generally, early metals catalyzing unactivated substrates and late metals predominantly activated ones.

As stated, characteristic of the late metal catalysts for hydrophosphination that require a base co-catalyst is that they are in the 2+ oxidation state and cationic. Thus, efforts are also underway to use the similar halide-free, cationic ruthenium(II) complex for catalysis.
