“…The use of hexamethylphosphetane oxide 3a afforded the desired trisubstituted furan 4a in a satisfactory yield of 71% (Table , entry 1). This highly active catalyst was used in various transformations in recent years. ,− In the presence of the more sterically demanding phosphine oxide 3b , no product formation was observed (entry 2). Surprisingly, the less sterically demanding tetramethylphospetane oxide 3c , which was recently introduced by the group of Radosevich, gave the product 4a in only 24% yield (entry 3). , Several other phosphine oxides 3d – 3g were employed as catalysts.…”

The organocatalytic formation of an underrepresented family of trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted furans from activated alkenes and acyl chlorides is reported. In a reaction sequence based on P(III)/P(V) redox cycling catalysis, the cyclic phosphine catalysts react with diacylethenes or acyl acrylates in Michael addition, followed by acylation and either an intramolecular Wittig reaction or a ring closure reaction, liberating the furans. The formed phosphine oxides are reduced in situ by phenylsilane as a terminal reductant. In the first step, 12 diacylethenes were converted to the respective trisubstituted furans. The reaction of acyl acrylates showed a surprising, catalyst-dependent alternate reaction forming tetrasubstituted furans. Two additional methods were developed, giving 14 trisubstituted furans using a phospholene catalyst and an additional 6 tetrasubstituted furans using a phosphetane catalyst. This encompassed 19 newly described compounds.

Trivalent phosphine catalysis is mostly utilized to activate the carbon‐carbon multiple bonds to form carbanion intermediate species and highly sensitive to certain variables. Random manual multi‐variables are critical for understanding the batch disabled regeneration of trivalent phosphine chemistry. We need the artificial intelligence‐based system which can change the variable based on previously conducted failed experiment. Herein, we report an auto‐optimized electro‐micro‐flow reactor platform for the in‐situ reduction of stable P(V) oxide to sensitive P(III) and further utilized for Corey‐Fuchs reaction.
