Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N,N',N''-Tris-(2-aminophenyltriphenylphosphium)-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide

A new tripodal P,N ligand （C63H48N3O3P3） was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 13.013（3）, b = 28.406（6）, c = 14.911（3） A^°, β= 111.04（3）°, V= 5144.6（18） A^°^3 Z = 4, Dc = 1.276 g/cm^3, Mr = 987.95, λ（MoKa） = 0.71073 A^°,μ = 0.17 mm^-1, F（000） = 2064, R = 0.0786 and wR = 0.1545. A total of 43260 unique reflections were collected, of which 5112 with I 〉 2σ（I） were observed. The title compound has a central benzene ring, which is linked by -NH-CO- bonds to three 2-aminophenyltriphenylphosphium moieties, of which two with P（1） and P（2） centers are pointing to the same face of the central aryl ring, while the third one directs oppositely, forming a pseudo-propeller. In the crystal structure, there exist face-to-face π-π stacking interactions which increase the stability of the crystal structure.

R = 0.0326 and wR = 0.0867. The Mo centre is six-coordinated by four carbonyls (MoC 1.938(4), 2.003(4), 2.019(4), 2.035(4) ) and P, N atoms from the ligand (MoP 2.4812(8), MoN 2.349(3) ?. The coordination geometry of the complex can be described as an octahedron.

Synthesis and Potential Application of Novel C_(2)-Symmetrical Bis(ferrocenyl)P2N Ligand

A novel chiral bis(ferrocenyl) P2N ligand 1 with C2-symmetry was synthesized through a four-step procedure from (R)-N,N-dimethyl-1-ferrocenylethylamine. In a model reaction of Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate 6 with dimethyl malonate, good enantioselectivity (86% e.e.) was obtained.

Preparation of New Chiral Ferroceny Phosphine Ligands and Their Application to Organic Synthesis

1 Results The unique structure of chiral ferrocenes allows one to design a variety of chiral phosphine ligands,which are useful tools for metal catalyzed asymmetric reactions.Although some useful chiral ferrocenyl phosphine ligands have already been reported,it is still an challenging subject tocreate new ferrocenyl phosphine ligands in order to cover asymmetric reactions in which conventional ligands do not effectively work[1].We happned to discover that 1,5-dilithiation of o-TMS blocked ferrocene 1 pr...

Synthesis of Unsymmetrical 1,3-Diynes via Pd/Cu-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Terminal Alkynes at Room Temperature

A facile and practical synthetic route of unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes via the PdC1/CuI catalyzed oxidative coupling of two different terminal alkynes has been developed by using 3-（diphenylphosphino）propanoic acid as a ligand in the presence of oxygen. This system is suitable for not only aromatic alkynes but also heteroaromatic and aliphatic alkynes which were transformed into the corresponding unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes in moderate to good yields at room temperature. Moreover, the unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes were also obtained on a multi-gram scale. Mechanistic studies suggest that oxygen plays a key role in the catalytic cycles.

3-(Diphenylphosphino)propanoic acid: An efficient ligand for the Cu-catalyzed N-arylation of imidazoles and 1H-pyrazole with aryl halides

3-（Diphenylphosphino）propanoic acid（L2） has proved to be an efficient ligand for the copper-catalyzed C–N coupling reactions.N-arylation of imidazoles with aryl iodides catalyzed by CuCl/L2 was smoothly carried out in DMSO at 100 8C with a yield up to 98%.N-arylation of 1H-pyrazole with aryl iodides and bromides catalyzed by Cu（OAc）2/L2 in 1 4-dioxane also gave the corresponding products with yields of40%–98%.
