Garrison Shapiro Professor of Chemistry Head of the Department of Chemistry *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Transition metal catalyzed reactions are among the most powerful and direct approaches for the synthesis of organic molecules. During the past several decades, phosphorous-containing ligands have been extensively studied in transition metal - catalyzed transformations particularly asymmetric hydrogenations. Development of new chiral ligands and efficient catalyst systems for various prochiral unsaturated substrates in asymmetric hydrogenations are the focus of this dissertation. An important family of atropisomeric biaryl bisphosphine ligands, C3*-TunePhos and related bisaminophosphines have been designed and synthesized. The Ru catalysts of the highly modular C3*-TunePhos have been proved to be highly efficient (up to 99.8% ee, up to 1,000,000 TON) for practical asymmetric hydrogenations of a wide range of unfunctionalized ketones as well as α-, β- keto esters and N-2-substituted allylphthalimides. The synthetic utility of bisaminophosphine ligands was studied for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of α-dehydroamino acid esters, affording up to 98% ee’s.

Received: 13 May 2017; Accepted: 4 July 2017; Published: 11 July 2017 Abstract: Organophosphorus compounds containing P-C bonds are increasingly developed as flame retardant additives due to their excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability and ease of synthesis. The latest development (since 2010) in organophosphorus flame retardants containing P-C bonds summarized in this review. In this review, we have broadly classified such phosphorus compounds based on the carbon unit linked to the phosphorus atom i.e., could be a part of either an aliphatic or an aromatic unit. We have only considered those published literature where a P-C bond was created as a part of synthetic strategy to make either an intermediate or a final organophosphorus compound with an aim to use it as a flame retardant. General synthetic strategies to create P-C bonds are briefly discussed. Most popular synthetic strategies used for developing P-C containing phosphorus based flame retardants include Michael addition, Michaelis–Arbuzov, Friedels–Crafts and Grignard reactions.

  • Synthesis of Phosphine-Alkene Ligands and 3-Hydroxy Piperidines Using Organolithium Chemistry Chehasnah Haji-Cheteh
    Synthesis of Phosphine-Alkene Ligands and 3-Hydroxy Piperidines Using Organolithium Chemistry Chehasnah Haji-Cheteh Doctor of Philosophy University of York Chemistry March 2016 Abstract Abstract This thesis describes synthetic routes to P-stereogenic phosphine-alkene ligands and 3- hydroxy piperidines containing heteroaromatics via lithiation-trapping of phosphine boranes or N-Boc pyrrolidine. Both topics are introduced in chapter 1. Chapter 2 presents a route to a new type of P-stereogenic phosphine-alkene ligand B prepared by racemic lithiation of t-butyldimethylphosphine borane or dimethylphenylphosphine borane using s-BuLi. Different allylic halides were used to trap the lithiated R1 = Ph, t-Bu intermediate to give chiral alkene-phosphine boranes A. R2 = H, Me, Br In chapter 3, 3-hydroxy piperidines were synthesised from the ring expansion of hydroxy pyrrolidines. Two novel, short and simple synthetic routes were developed (as shown below). Lithiation-trapping reaction of N-Boc pyrrolidine C using pyridine carboxaldehydes gave N-Boc pyrrolidine alcohols syn-D and anti-D. On the other hand, an alternative approach to obtain 3-hydroxy piperidines anti-H starting from N-trityl prolinal E derived from (S)-proline was investigated. Addition of lithiated heteroaromatics, generated from a Br/Li exchange reaction, to N-trityl prolinal E diastereoselectively gave N-trityl alcohols anti-F. The Boc or trityl deprotection and reductive amination then gave N-benzyl pyrrolidines syn-G and anti-G. Finally, the ring expansion via an aziridinium ion of alcohols syn-G and anti-G gave 3-hydroxy piperidines syn-H and anti-H. The stereochemistry of 3- hydroxy piperidines syn-H and anti-H was proven using J-values in the 1H NMR spectra.

  • Development of P-Chirogenic Phosphine Ligands Based on Chemistry of Phosphine–Boranes: Searching for Novelty and Utility in Synthetic Organic Chemistry
    No.174 No.174 ResearchResearch ArticleArticle Development of P-Chirogenic Phosphine Ligands Based on Chemistry of Phosphine–Boranes: Searching for Novelty and Utility in Synthetic Organic Chemistry Tsuneo Imamoto Chiba University Yayoi-cho, Inage-ku, Chiba 263-8522, Japan E-Mail: [email protected] This paper is dedicated to Professor Teruaki Mukaiyama on the occasion of his 90th birthday. Abstract: This paper describes the synthesis and utilization of P-chirogenic phosphine ligands, mainly by reviewing our study on this research area. Various optically pure P-chirogenic phosphine ligands have been synthesized by the use of phosphine–boranes as the intermediates more conveniently than the previously existing methods using phosphine oxides. Conformationally rigid P-chirogenic phosphine ligands bearing a bulky alkyl group such as the tert-butyl group and a small group like the methyl group at the phosphorus atoms exhibit excellent enantioselectivity and catalytic efficiency in transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. 2,3-Bis(tert-butylmethylphosphino)quinoxaline (QuinoxP*) has been widely used as an efficient ligand in both academia and industry by virtue of its air-stability and high enantioinduction ability. Electron-rich P-chirogenic bisphosphine ligands have been used for the elucidation of the mechanism of rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of enamides and related substrates, and it has been revealed that the hydrogenations proceed via Rh-dihydride intermediates and the enantioselection is determined at the step of formation of hexacoordinated Rh(III) complexes involving the bisphosphine ligand, dihydride, and the substrate. Keywords: P-Chirogenic phosphine ligands, Phosphine–borane, Design of chiral ligands, Catalytic asymmetric synthesis, Asymmetric hydrogenation, Enantioselection mechanism 1.

Lambert Associate Professor of Food Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Phosphorus catalysis is a growing field that is currently based upon the utility of three major catalytic cycles: 1) three coordinate phosphine to four coordinate phosphonium, 2) three coordinate phosphine to four coordinate phosphine oxide, and 3) four coordinate phosphonium to five coordinate phosphorane. In this thesis, a new mode of phosphorus catalysis will be described, wherein the catalytic cycle relies upon the transition from three-coordinate phosphorus to five- coordinate phosphorane. Specifically, we have developed two systems where geometrically constrained phosphorus(III) compounds catalyze the reduction of unsaturated substrates. In the first system, a planar, T-shaped phosphorus(III) compound is transformed into a five-coordinate hydridophosphorane with no observable intermediates; catalytic reduction of azobenzene is observed with both species in the presence of a reductant. In the second example, a cyclic phosphine catalyzes the reductive transposition of allylic halides. We believe that the demonstrated ability of phosphorus compounds to cycle between three-coordinate and five-coordinate complexes marks the development of new class of phosphorus-catalyzed reactions that could have broad applications in synthetic chemistry.

Warren Supervisor Assistant Professor Dr. Peter D. Wilson Internal Examiner Associate Professor Date Defended/Approved: January 27, 2017 ii Abstract Bulky chiral ligands have gained tremendous attention in metal coordination chemistry as they influence greatly coordination geometry and reactivity and are critical features of asymmetric catalysts. In this thesis, the design and synthesis of sterically congested chiral alcohol and amine ligands based on a bis-adamantane framework, are explored. Optimization of the ligand synthesis and purification were conducted on the racemic ketone, while the chiral synthetic pathway utilized an enzymatic hydrolysis as the key step. In another aspect of bis-adamantane chemistry, the bromonium ion of adamantylideneadamantane (Ad=Ad) has provided valuable mechanistic information about electrophilic addition of bromine and undergoes a fast “Br+” transfer process to alkenes. However, the Ad=Ad isomer SesquiAdAd only reacts with [AdAdBr+] and not with Br2. This thesis also investigated the rearrangement of SesquiAdAd to Ad=Ad catalyzed by [AdAdBr+] via the formation of the potentially high energy intermediate SesquiAdAdBr+, probed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and kinetics.
