An
effective one-pot method for the synthesis of polycyclic phospholanes
by in situ reaction of dichlorophosphines (RPCl2, where R = Ph, t-Bu, Me) with norbornane-annulated
aluminacyclopentanes was obtained by catalytic cycloalumination of
norbornenes. Oxidation of phospholanes gave the corresponding polycyclic
phospholane 3-oxides (3-sulfides). The molybdenum complex L2Mo(CO)4 (L = 3-phenyl-3-phosphatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane) was prepared for the first time by the reaction
of 3-phenyl-3-phosphatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane with
molybdenum hexacarbonyl. The structures of the obtained compounds
were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and multinuclear 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy.
SummaryAn efficient one-pot process for the synthesis of 3-substituted phospholanes and α,ω-bisphospholanes was developed. The method involves the replacement of aluminium in aluminacyclopentanes, prepared in situ by catalytic cycloalumination of α-olefins and α,ω-diolefins, by phosphorus atoms on treatment with dichlorophosphines (R′PCl2). Hydrogen peroxide oxidation and treatment with S8 of the synthesized phospholanes and α,ω-bisphospholanes afforded the corresponding 3-alkyl(aryl)-1-alkyl(phenyl)phospholane 1-oxides, 3-alkyl(aryl)-1-alkyl(phenyl)phospholane 1-sulfides, bisphospholane 1,1'-dioxides, and bisphospholane 1,1'-disulfides in nearly quantitative yields. The complexes LMo(CO)5 (L = 3-hexyl-1-phenylphospholane, 3-benzyl-1-methylphospholane, 1,2-bis(1-phenylphospholan-3-yl)ethane, and 1,6-bis(1-phenylphospholan-3-yl)hexane were prepared by the reaction of 3-substituted phospholanes and α,ω-bisphospholanes with molybdenum hexacarbonyl. The structure of the complexes was proved by multinuclear 1H, 13C, and 31P spectroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
