イオン固定型トリフェニルホスフィン
東郷らは空気中で安定なイオン固定型トリフェニルホスフィン,1-メチル-1-[4-(ジフェニルホスフィノ)ベンジル]ピロリジニウムブロミド(1)を開発し,その有用性を報告しています。それによれば,アルコールのハロゲン化,光延反応によるカルボン酸のエステル化では,副生するイオン固定型ホスフィンオキシド(2)がエーテルに溶けにくいため,反応終了後,生成物をエーテル抽出してろ過することにより,容易に分離することができます。分離した2はO-メチル化および続くLAH還元により1を再生し,再利用することが可能です。また,1は溝呂木-ヘック反応や薗頭反応などの金属触媒の配位子としても有用です。
“Novel preparation of ion-supported triphenylphosphines and their synthetic utility”
Y. Imura, N. Shimojuh, Y. Kawano, H. Togo, Tetrahedron 2010, 66, 3421.
Novel ion-supported Ph3P compounds, 4-(diphenylphosphino)- benzyltrimethylammonium bromide (A) andN-methyl-N-[4-(diphenylphosphino) -benzyl]pyrrolidinium bromide (B), were prepared. Because of their stability in air, ion-supported Ph3P A and B could be used for the halogenation of alcohols, the esterification of carboxylic acid with the Mitsunobu reaction, the Mizoroki–Heck reaction, and the Sonogashira reaction. The advantages of using these ion-supported Ph3P A and B are the simple isolation of the products by ether extraction due to their poor solubility in ether, and the easy recovery of the co-product, ion-supported Ph3PO, by filtration in high yields (>90%), which could be regenerated and reused for the same reactions, in the halogenation of alcohols and the esterification of carboxylic acid with the Mitsunobu reaction. On the other hand, ionic liquid reaction media containing Pd(OAc)2 or PdCl2 and ion-supported Ph3P A or B as catalysts could be reused for the same Mizoroki–Heck reaction and the Sonogashira reaction maintaining high yields, using iodotoluene with methyl acrylate and phenylacetylene, respectively.
