BOM-tert-butylmethylphosphinite borane is an efficient electrophilic P-stereogenic transfer reagent for the synthesis of bulky tertiary phosphines. The novel methodology relies on a one-pot deprotection/substitution trivalent phosphinite that takes place with very high stereospecificity. potential this strategy demonstrated wide scope phosphines in excellent enantiomeric excess. was applied to ...

Using a novel strategy, tertiary phosphines based on single atom peri-bridged acenaphthenes were prepared and characterized by multinuclear NMR and by X-ray diffraction.

The synthesis of atropisomeric phosphino-triazoles through a CuAAC approach is disclosed. Gold( i ) chloride complexes single-enantiomer phosphines were then prepared and again demonstrated to be conformationally stable.

of the phosphorus-oxygen bond renders reduction irreversible. Because trialkylphosphines are kinetically stable in aqueous solution, selective for the reduction of the disulfide linkage, and unreactive toward many other functional groups, they are attractive as reducing agents in biochemical systems. Their utility has been limited by the low solubility of most simple trialkylphosphines in water...

The confinement of phosphines within micro- or nano-environments influences not only their behaviour but also that metal complexes. influence environment on this reactivity is reviewed and future challenges identified.

A molecular mechanics force field has been developed which accurately reproduces experimental solid state structures and conformer interconversion barriers for a series of sterically congested diaryl and triaryl phosphines and some of their chalcogenide and Cr(CO)5 derivatives.

TMS protected amines in combination with B(C(6)F(5))(3) were found to activate H(2) and this is followed by a cleavage of the N-Si bond and the generation of TMSH. A TMS protected phosphine on the other hand reacts rapidly with B(C(6)F(5))(3) to give the known compound tBu(2)P(C(6)F(4))B(C(6)F(5))(2) by a facile and efficient route.

Dialkylbiaryl phosphines are a valuable class of ligand for Pd-catalyzed amination reactions and have been applied in a range of contexts. This review attempts to aid the reader in the selection of the best choice of reaction conditions and ligand of this class for the most commonly encountered and practically important substrate combinations.
