NEW METHODOLOGIES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ORGANOPHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS by MONIKA I. ANTCZAK Master of Science, 2002 Wroclaw University of Technology Wroclaw, Poland Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the College of Science and Engineering Texas Christian University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2008 NEW METHODOLOGIESFOR THE SYNTHESISOF ORGANOPHOSPHORUSCOMPOLNDS by MonikaI. Antczak Dissertationapproved: Maior Professor f Scienceand Engineering Copyright by Monika I. Antczak 2008 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to acknowledge Prof. Jean-Luc Montchamp for the constant interest in the progress of my work over the past five years. I also wish to thank him for his advice and intense discussions, which helped me in expanding my knowledge and understanding of organic chemistry, and in guiding me in my educational progress at Texas Christian University. His patience and support helped me overcome some difficult situation and successfully completing my Ph.D. program. I express my gratitude to my colleagues and friends, Jennifer Tellez, Dr. Laëtitia Coudray, Yamina Belabassi and Dr. Clemence Queffelec for their help, guidance and support. I also would like to thank Dr. Onofrio Annunziata, Dr. Waldek Zerda and Dr. Dale Huckaby for their guidance and interesting discussions during these years. I wish to thank: Monika Wieligor and Dr. Mauricio Quiroz for their friendship and constant support. Finally, I wish to thank my parents for their unconditional love and support. The Chemistry Department at Texas Christian University, the National Science Foundation (CHE-0242898), the National Institute of General Medical Sciences/NIH (R01 GM067610), and the Robert A. Welch Foundation (P-1666) are gratefully acknowledged for the financial support of this research. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENT..................................................................................................... ii LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................... vi LIST OF SCHEMES......................................................................................................... vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS .......................................................................................... xiii Chapter I: Background: Organophosphorus Chemistry. ..................................................... 1 1.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................... 1 1.2 H-Phosphinic Acid Derivatives, Useful Synthons of Organophosphorus Compounds ..................................................................................................................... 5 1.2.1 Preparation of H-phosphinic acid derivatives .................................................... 7 1.3 Phosphonic Acid Derivatives. ................................................................................. 11 1.3.1 Synthesis of phosphonic acid derivatives ........................................................ 15 1.4 Phosphine-Borane Complexes ................................................................................ 19 Chapter II: Hydrophosphinylation of Alkenes and Alkynes Using Alkyl Phosphinates .. 23 2.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................. 23 2.2 Nickel - Catalyzed Hydrophosphinylation .............................................................. 25 2.2.1 NiCl2-catalyzed addition of alkyl phosphinates to alkynes ............................. 30 2.2.2 Mechanistic considerations .............................................................................. 36 2.2.3 Tandem one-pot alkyne hydrophosphinylation-functionalization ................... 37 2.3 Radical Hydrophosphinylation.
