Aim. To develop the convenient preparative method for the preparation of sterically-congested P-stereogenic secondary diamodoidyl phosphines as potential organocatalysts and ligands in the asymmetric synthesis. Results and discussion. A convenient method for the synthesis of P-stereogenic diamondoid phosphines with high yields through the phosphorylation of hydroxydiamondoids in trifluoroacetic acid followed by the re- duction of the corresponding asymmetric chlorophosphonates has been proposed. The secondary phosphines obtained form stable complexes with borane that can be used to separate diamondoid phosphines into enan- tiomers. Experimental part. The experimental procedures for the preparation of 1- and 4-diamantyl-1-adamantyl- and phenylphosphines were developed; the structures of new compounds were confirmed by NMR and HRMS spectral data. Conclusions. A number of P-stereogenic mixed diamondoidylaryl phosphines and the secondary phos- phines containing exclusively diamondoid substituents has been prepared. A degree of steric bulkiness is deter- mined by the combination of diamondoid substituents around a phosphorus atom where 1-diamantyl derivatives are the most sterically-congested. The compounds obtained are potential ligands in asymmetric catalysis.

Мета. Розробити зручний препаративний метод синтезу стереоускладнених Р-стереогенних вторин- них діамандоїдних фосфінів, які можуть бути використані як ліганди в асиметричному синтезі, а також як органокаталізатори. Результати та їх обговорення. Запропоновано зручний метод синтезу P-стереогенних діамандоїдних фосфінів шляхом фосфорилювання гідроксипохідних діамандоїдів у трифтороцтовій кислоті з подальшим відновленням відповідних асиметричних хлорофосфонатів з високими виходами. Одержані таким чином фосфіни утворюють стійкі комплекси з бораном, які розглядаються як проміжні сполуки для подальшого розділення енантіомерів. Експериментальна частина. Був розроблений препаративний метод синтезу 1- і 4-діамантил-, 1-ада- мантил- і фенілфосфінів, структури яких підтверджено мас-спектрометричними і ЯМР-спектральними да- ними. Висновки. Одержано ряд Р-стереогенних змішаних діамандоїларилфосфінів та вторинних фосфінів, які містять виключно діамандоїдні замісники. Ступінь стеричного навантаження сполук визначається ком- бінацією діамандоїдних замісників навколо атома фосфору, де похідні 1-діамантилу найбільш стерично ускладнені. Одержані сполуки є потенційними лігандами в асиметричному каталізі.
