It was found that both dichlorophenylphosphine and chlorodiphenylphosphine react with benzophenone to give chlorophenyl- methylphenylphosphinic chloride and benzhydryldiphenylphosphine oxide, respectively. Dichlorophenylphosohine, catalysed by aluminium chloride acted as a deoxygenating agent with phthalic anhydride to give another route to the preparation of biphthalyl. The reaction of phosphorus (ill) halides and alkyl ketones with aluminium chloride catalyst was complicated by the reaction of aluminium chloride and the ketone. A novel phenyl migration was obtained where benzophenone and dichlorophenyl phosphine reacted under certain conditions to give triphenylmethylphenyl- phosphinic chloride. The alkaline fusion of some phosnhinic acids and \ acid chlorides is'described. The degradation of complex phosphinic acids to yield easily isolated products proved useful in structure determination of the original acids. The site of attack of-phosphines on haloq^n com­ pounds has been investigated by-reacting a series of phosphines, qraded in order of increasing nucleophilicity with dichlorodiphenyl methane. 2. SECTION 1. The Aluminium Chloride Catalysed Reaction of Phosphorus ^IIl) Halides and Carbonyl Compounds, INTRODUCTION : The investigation of the reactions of phosphorus (TIT) halides and carbonyl compounds in the presence of aluminium chlor­ ide. in particular the reaction of benzonhenone and dichlorophenyl- phosohino, arose when this reaction was studied as a route to the synthesis of substituted 10-phenylphosohacridone heterocylics (see Section 4). 22 It has been reported that phosphorus trichloride and bepzophenone do not react in the presence of aluminium chloride. 2 although Conant etaj., have studied the uncatalysed reaction of saturated aldehydes and ketones and found, in general, that thet£-hydroxy ohos- phonic acids were formed. With benzonhenone, under forcing conditions 23 and in the presence of benzoic acid they obtained moderate yields of diphenylhydroxymothylphosphonic acid and low yields of another acid to which they were unable to assign a structure. Ph2C0 + PC13 Ph2C(OH)P(O)(0H}2 In Conant*s study there was no attempt to isolate the acid chloride and the reaction mixture was hydrolysed to the free acid. Kabochrif and 24 Sheleva , in a similar reaction were able to isolate the acid chloride when they reacted benzaldehyde and excess phosphorus trichloride. 3. 3cid ch1''nde obtefn^d as a ]ow mp-1 fdno sol'd was *~honv]chloronethylphos-» phonic dichloride in 62% yields.

The acid v/hich was formed was assion^d the structure o Ph2C(0H)P(0H)2. With alkyl ketones the reaction with phosphorus (JTT) ha]-ides in the presence of aluminium chloride is complicated by the ability of aluminium chloride to initiate aldol-type condensations The resulting -=>c;p-unsaturated ketone is able then to react with the phosphorus (III) halide. A typical example is the reaction of acetone 26, 27. ’ with phosphorus trichloride in the presence of aluminium chloride to produce 2-raethylpentan-2-one-4-nhosphonic acid, and the reaction of 9P, dichl-orophenylphosphine and chalcone ‘ . The species formed when benzophenone and aluminium ch.lor- og ide react have been investigated and Menshutkin ‘ has been able to isolate a 1:1 mole adduct of m.n.l30(. For this reason two moles aluminium chloride were used in the initial attempt, to r-re --re lO-r-bo-v? • phoschacridone from benzophenone and dichlorophenylphospMne. 4. RESUITSJWD DTSCUSSIOU : Benzophonone was reacted with excess dichloroohenylnhos- phine catalysed by "moist" aluminium chloride (lumps which had been exposed in a loosely stopoered bottle tor 24 hours when a nett increase in weight of ca 4% had occurred). The reaction was carried out under nitrooen for 3 hours at 100°. The neutral fraction was obtained by pourinq the crude reaction mixture into excess, cold sodium hydroxide solution and extracting with benzene. A number of experiments were conducted where the ratios of benzophenone and "moist" aluminium chloride were varied. A maximum yield (66%) of chlorodiphenylmethylphenylphos- phinic chloride (l) was obtained when 1 mole of benzophenone, 2 moles of "moist" aluminium chloride and excess (4 mole) of dichloronhenylphosrhine were used. (See Table l). Under identical conditions nhosohorus trichloride and benzophenone could not be induced to react and benzophenone was recovered in high yields from the reaction mixture. Recovery of benzophenone in high yields also occurred when 1 mole of benzochonone an^ excess dichloro- ohenylphosphine were used or when 4 moles of "moist" aluminium chloride. 1 mole of benzophenone and excess dichloronbenylnhosphine wr' ••-eacted. A decrease in the yield of acid chloride (l) was noted ? moles ~ anhydrous aluminium chloride, 1 mole of benzoohenone and excess .os' - '-r were used. Assioning a structure to the neutral reaction product from the reaction of dichlorophenylnhosphine and benzophonone ca ta h : 5. \.ii.n two moles of "moist" aluminium chloride proved difficult. "he white crystalline produce, n.o.103-104°, obtained by pouring the reaction mixture into excess aqueous alkali and extractino with benzene oave an analysis that corresponded to a 1:1 adduct of benzophenone and the rhosphine. The product was able to be successfully recryst­ allized from ethanol and only reacted sluggishly with alcoholic silver nitrate. This evidence tended to rule out the possibility that the product was an acid chloride, although it was difficult to otherwise -lace two chlorine atoms in the molecule. The infrared spectrum showed a strong (d-0j stretch band and its proton magnetic resonance spec;.rum demonstrated that only aromatic protons were present. Fusion of the product (l) with solid sodium hydroxide (s*e Section 2) produced benzophenone as the only neutral product (57*0 and the acid fraction yielded benzhydrylphenylphosphinic acid (VI, 39.90. phenylphosnbmic acid (18x0 and traces of phenylphosnhonic acid. On this evidence the most likely assumption was that toe product, was chlorodiphenylmethylphenylnhosphinic chloride (.l). This was confirmed when the acid chloride (l) was reacted with sodium, methoxide to provide the methyl est^r (’ll) with the loss of one halogen atom, and prolonged aqueous alkaline hydrolysis of the .-id chloride (l) afforded the monobasic hydroxy-acid (ill). 6.

INTRODUCTION Although a considerable number of precipitants have been pro- posed for the determination of aluminium, direct precipitation of aluminium hydroxide by means of ammonium hydroxide, fol- lowed by ignition to oxide, is most commonly used, especially if no separation from iron is desired, in which latter case special methods must be employed. While the general principles involved in this determination are extremely simple, it has long been recog- nized that certain precautions in the precipitation, washing, and ignition are necessary if accurate results are to be obtained. While, however, most of these details have been studied and dis- cussed by numerous authors, it is noteworthy that few publica- tions or textbooks have taken account of all the factors. In the 515 ; 516 Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards [Voi.i3 present paper it seems desirable, therefore, to assemble the various recommendations and to consider their basis and their accuracy.

  • When Phosphosugars Meet Gold: Synthesis and Catalytic Activities of Phostones and Polyhydroxylated Phosphonite Au(I) Complexes
    Article When Phosphosugars Meet Gold: Synthesis and Catalytic Activities of Phostones and Polyhydroxylated Phosphonite Au(I) Complexes Gaëlle Malik, Angélique Ferry and Xavier Guinchard * Received: 23 September 2015 ; Accepted: 20 November 2015 ; Published: 27 November 2015 Academic Editor: Bimal Banik Institut de Chimie des Substances Naturelles, CNRS UPR 2301, Université Paris-Sud, Université Paris-Saclay, 1 Avenue de la Terrasse, 91198 Gif sur Yvette cedex, France; [email protected] (G.M.); [email protected] (A.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +33-1-69-82-30-66 Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of P-chiral phosphonite-, phosphonate- and thiophosphonate-Au(I) complexes are reported. These novel ligands for Au(I) are based on glycomimetic phosphorus scaffolds, obtained from the chiral pool. The catalytic activities of these complexes are shown in the cyclization of allenols and the hydroamination of 2-(2-propynyl)aniline combined with an organocatalyzed reduction to the corresponding 2-phenyl tetrahydroquinoline. All described gold complexes present excellent catalytic activities. Keywords: gold catalysis; phosphosugars; catalysis; heterocycles; P-stereogeny 1. Introduction One of the major advances of the 21th century in organic chemistry is undoubtedly the increased importance of gold catalysis. Long believed to be useless for catalysis, gold complexes have emerged as powerful tools for the catalysis of myriads of reactions [1–9]. In particular, the gold tolerance towards air, moisture and numerous chemical functionalities renders the use of these catalysts very convenient. However, the bicoordinate linear geometry of gold(I) complexes makes the control of the asymmetry difficult, the chiral ligand being placed in a distal position to the reactive cationic center.

Even though the development of technology for aluminium chloride electrolysis is being carried out in a big way by ALCOA and a few other multinational companies for the past several years, many of the data and information are lacking in published literature and the answers to various critical questions have to be found only through inferences from the meagre information available in patents. It was therefore thought fit to undertake a thorough review of all the basic applied and R&Dwork that are reported in this field and critically assess the various problems to be tackled to evolve a viable technology. This review confines itself to the electrolytic aspect and those relating to the material preparation will be taken up separately later. Key words : Production of aluminium. Molten salt electrolysis, chlorination of alumina INTRODUCTION The most obvious advantages of the aluminium chloride smelting are 131 : he need to develop a new technology for aluminium metal production 1. Substantially lower working temperature (700°C) compared to Hall- T has been felt very much in the major aluminium producing countries Heroult cell (980°C).

Rev., 2018, 47,7899 Daniel Kaiser, Adriano Bauer, Miran Lemmerer and Nuno Maulide * It is textbook knowledge that carboxamides benefit from increased stabilisation of the electrophilic carbonyl carbon when compared to other carbonyl and carboxyl derivatives. This results in a considerably reduced reactivity towards nucleophiles. Accordingly, a perception has been developed of amides as significantly less useful functional handles than their ester and acid chloride counterparts.

    Synthesis of C2-symmetric P-chiral bis(phosphine borane)s and their application in rhodium(I) catalyzed asymmetric transformation by Holly Ann Heath A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Montana State University © Copyright by Holly Ann Heath (2001) Abstract: A new development for the synthesis C2-Synnnetric P-Chiral Bis(phosphine borane) ligands is reported, These ligands are based on the asymmetric induction of prochiral phosphine ligands with organolithium/chiral diamine complexes. These ligands have been evaluated in asymmetric rhodium(I) catalyzed hydrogenation and [4 + 2] cycloisomerization reactions. Enantiomeric excesses as high as 99% were obtained for ene-diene cycloadditions.
