Transition metal catalyst complexes play important roles in organic synthesis. These complexes contain a central transition metal such as palladium as well as ligands that associate with the metal. The catalysts are used in a wide variety of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions.
The properties of the catalysts are recognized as being influenced by the nature of the central metal and also by the structure of the ligands. The structure of the ligands is believed to have an effect on rate constants and regioselectivity of the reactions, for example. Phosphine ligands including trivalent phosphorus are known for use with transition metals such as palladium. However, current ligands still require significant catalyst loading and are not optimal in either reaction completion or reaction rate. There is therefore a need for new and more effective phosphine ligands.
Phosphacycles suitable for use as ligands for transition metal catalyst systems include those represented by the general formula I,

Optionally, any of the ligand embodiments disclosed herein can be provided with a substituent that permits covalent or other attachment to a solid support to create a heterogeneous catalyst composition. This provides a convenient method to carry out various catalytic reactions by eluting starting materials and optional transition metal compounds through a column to effect contact with the catalytic ligand. Thus in various embodiments, when the substituents described contain suitable functional groups, the ligands can be covalently bound to a solid support. Functional groups include hydroxyl, carboxylic, halo, epoxy, isocyanate, sulfhydryl, vinyl, amino, imino, and so on.
In various embodiments, ligands described herein can be synthesized from known starting materials using organic transformations known in the art. In one embodiment, a phosphorus moiety is added as a substituent to a biaryl system and is elaborated into a phosphacyclic ring in subsequent synthetic steps. In the illustrative synthetic route of Scheme A, biaryliodide or biarylbromide 2 is converted by metal-halogen exchange to its derived organolithium, which is quenched with chlorophosphate to give biarylphosphonate 3, which is in turn reduced to primary phosphine 4, for example, using lithium aluminum hydride as shown. The primary phosphine 4 then undergoes double conjugate addition to divinylketone 5 to give phosphorinanone 1b. Phosphorinanone 1b is then converted to ethylene glycol ketal 1d or to phosphine 1a under known conditions. Propanediol ketal 1c is likewise available from reaction of 1,3-propanediol with phosphorinanone 1b under the acidic conditions shown. An alcohol such as 1c is available through conventional reduction of the carbonyl group of 1b. Additional phosphacycle ligands can be synthesized from the intermediates of Scheme A and especially from the ketone 1b or the alcohol 1c by known organic transformation reactions. In this way, Scheme A provides a general method for preparing phosphacycle ligands containing a 6-membered phosphacycle ring of formula Ib.
Scheme A′ is a variation of Scheme A where a different phosphorylating reagent is used that generates a different first isolated intermediate 3′. Accordingly, Scheme A and Scheme A′ provide general methods for preparing phosphacycle ligands containing a 6-membered phosphacycle ring of formula Ib
Ketone 1b can undergo a variety of ring contraction or ring expansion reactions to produce ligands containing phosphacycles having other than 6 ring atoms. Such reactions can result in the inclusion of heteroatoms other than P into the phosphacycle ring of the ligands. Similar reactions can introduce hetero ring atoms also into a 6-membered phosphacycle ring.
In another synthetic route, the phosphacycle may be formed first, followed by coupling of the phosphacycle to a biaryl ring system. This coupling reaction can be catalyzed by one or more of the disclosed ligands. Scheme A″ shows the general reaction between a biaryl system on the left and a preformed phosphacycle like that of formula (Ia). Other examples are provided in Scheme B′ and in Example 2. Such an approach can also be applied to preparation of the fused phosphacycles of (Ic-1) or (Ic-1a).
In various embodiments, methods for synthesizing the ligands involve reacting a biaryl system as in Scheme A″ with the secondary phosphines shown in generic form in Scheme A″ under basic conditions, optionally with a catalyst containing the ligands described herein, where the groups R1 through R13 and Q1 through Q5 are as defined herein.
Bridges between ring atoms or between ring substituents can be provided in a variety of post annelation reactions, or can be formed as the phosphacycle ring is formed. To illustrate, a trioxaphosphatricylcodecane ring can be formed by reaction of a primary phosphine 4 under acidic conditions with a pentanedione 6 to make trioxaphosphatricylcodecane ligand 7 according to Scheme B, where R′ and R″ can be any group that does not interfere with the reaction, and where for clarity of illustration R represents the biaryl radical of 4 to which the P atom is attached. Non-limiting examples of R′ and R″ include alkyl, haloalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl, and isopropyl. In certain embodiments, R′ and R″ are the same. The reaction of Scheme B is described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 3,026,327, the disclosure of which useful for background information and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Scheme B′ illustrates a method of making ligand 7 by coupling a phosphine and a biaryl starting material such as shown in Scheme A″.
Scheme C illustrates several sequences that can be used to construct the biaryl halides used in the preparation of the ligands. A bromo-boronic acid, 8, can be coupled with an aryl bromide, 9, to give biarylbromide, 10. Similarly, a bis-bromoaryl, 11, can be coupled with a boronic acid, 12, to give biarylbromide, 10. In another sequence, aryl fluoride, 13, can be reacted first with an alkyllithium, then treated with Grignard reagent, 14, and finally treated with iodine to give biaryliodide, 15. The biaryl halides can be used in the synthetic sequences described in Schemes A, A′, A″, and B′.
Scheme D illustrates how catalysts containing a phosphinan-4-one or phosphepan-4-one, 16, can be expanded by treatment with trimethylsilyldiazomethane to give compounds 17. Compounds 17 can be reduced as previously described to give compounds 18.

In various embodiments, catalyst compositions contain a ligand described herein and a transition metal compound. Examples of transition metal compounds include those of palladium, rhodium ruthenium, platinum, gold, cobalt, iridium, copper, and nickel, as well as combinations. In various embodiments, the transition metal compound and the ligand are provided in the catalyst composition in stoichiometric amounts with respect to one another. For example, the catalyst compositions contain one mole of ligand per one mole of transition metal compound, or they may contain two moles of ligand per one mole of transition metal compound. In various embodiments, the optimum ligand to metal ratio depends on the metal source used as well as the specifics of the transformation being attempted. The stoichiometric relation between the transition metal and the ligand is an indication that catalysis proceeds through interaction of the organic starting materials with a transition metal catalyst having a phosphacycle ligand bound to a central transition metal, at least for a portion of the reaction. For this reason, the phosphine based compounds of formula I and the like are referred to as ligands.
In various embodiments, the transition metal compound is provided in the catalyst composition as a salt of a central atom. A non-limiting example of such a salt is an acetate salt. When the central atom is palladium in a preferred embodiment, a preferred transition metal compound is palladium acetate, or Pd(OAc)2.

In various embodiments, the transition metal compound is in the zero valence state. An example is tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), commonly abbreviated as Pd2(dba)3. Other palladium sources in formally the zero or other valence states may also be suitable. Examples include but are not limited to Pd(dba)2, Pd2(dba)3.CHCl3, and Pd(PPh3)4.

In a round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under a positive pressure of nitrogen was added anhydrous, degassed tetrahydrofuran (˜1.6 M relative to LiAlH4) and lithium aluminum hydride (3 equiv) as a solution in tetrahydrofuran. After cooling the mixture to 0° C. in an ice bath, chlorotrimethylsilane (3 equiv) was added in a dropwise manner. The resulting solution was stirred at 0° C. A tetrahydrofuran solution (˜0.7 M relative to the phosphonate) of the diethylphosphonate (1 equiv) was prepared in a separate round-bottom flask, then cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath while under a positive pressure of N2. After 30 minutes, the lithium aluminum hydride/chlorotrimethylsilane solution was transferred to the solution of diethylphosphonate in a dropwise fashion by cannula using a positive pressure of nitrogen. Rapid gas evolution was observed. The reaction was stirred vigorously at 0° C. and warmed slowly to room temperature overnight. After ˜16 hours, the reaction solution was cooled in an ice bath to 0° C. and quenched using either an acidic workup (method A) or by the Fieser method (method B).
Workup method A was used for air-stable phosphines without a basic functional group. The reaction mixture was quenched slowly with ethyl acetate (7.7 equiv), followed by 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid (15 equiv). The biphasic mixture was then stirred vigorously at room temperature until the phases became clear (˜1 h), at which point the phases were partitioned. The organic layer was collected, and the aqueous layer was washed with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic fractions were then washed once with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The isolated primary phosphines were used without further purification.
Workup method B was employed with air-sensitive phosphines and air-stable phosphines containing basic substituents. For air-sensitive substrates, the water and 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution used in the Fieser quench (n mL of water, n mL 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide, 3n mL water, where n=grams of LiAlH4 used) were degassed by sparging with nitrogen for 30 minutes prior to use. The resulting slurry was stirred vigorously for 15 minutes. Then, using standard Schlenk technique, the air-sensitive phosphine slurry was cannula transferred into a flitted Schlenk filter under nitrogen pressure. The filtrate solution was collected in a 3-neck round-bottom flask. The reaction flask was rinsed with nitrogen-sparged dichloromethane (2×), and the wash was passed through the Schlenk filter each time. The filter cake was also rinsed with dichloromethane (2×). The combined organic fractions were concentrated in vacuo to ˜10 mL, then the solution was cannula transferred into a degassed 40-mL scintillation vial with a septa-top cap.

The vial was sealed with a crimp top and stirred at 110° C. After 19 hours, the vial was removed from the heating block, cooled to room temperature and brought out of the glovebox. The reaction solution was diluted with tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) and filtered into a tared 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask. The vial was rinsed with tetrahydrofuran (5×1 mL), followed by washing of the filter cake with tetrahydrofuran (5 mL). A wt % analysis was performed on the filtered solution and an assay yield of 88% was measured against commercially available diphenylsulfide.
