Description

Process for the synthesis of cycloorganylphosphanes and di(alkali metal/alkaline earth metal) oligophosphanediides
The invention relates to a process for the synthesis of cycloorganylphosphanes and di(alkali metal/alkaline earth metal) oligophosphanediides from dihalo(organyl)phosphanes and to novel di(alkali metal/alkaline earth metal) oligophosphanediides and their use in the preparation of organophosphorus compounds.
Cycloorganylphosphanes (RP)„ and metal phosphanides Mχ(PnRn) are valuable starting materials in the preparation of a large number of different classes of organophosphorus compounds.
Cycloorganylphosphanes can be prepared by dehalogenation of dihalo(organyl)phosphanes RPHafc using base metals, such as Li, Na, K and Mg, in an ethereal solvent, such as tetra- hydrofuran (THF) (A. Hinke, W. Kuchen, Chem. Ber. 1983, 116, 3003 -3010).
In Monatshefte fur Chemie, volume 90, 1959, pages 148-156, H. Schindlbauer describes the preparation of phenylphosphine and tetraphenylcyclotetraphosphine by reacting phenyl- phosphine dichloride with metallic sodium.
The reaction of dichloro(organyl)phosphanes with the especially attractive dehalogenating agent zinc has not been examined in detail and, according to reports in the literature, it proceeds at satisfactory reaction rates and gives satisfactory yields only in the presence of trimethylphosphane, PMe3, (S. Shah, J.D. Protasiewicz, Coord. Chem. Rev. 2000, 210, pages 181-201). In that reaction, compounds of the RP=PMe3 type are isolated.
Good yields of cycloorganylphosphanes are obtained in a condensation reaction of a primary phosphane, RPH2, and a dichloro(organyl)phosphane in the presence of a base, such as an amine (WM.A. Henderson, Jr., M. Epstein, F.S. Seichter, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1963, 85, 2462).
The methods described for the preparation of cycloorganylphosphanes have a number of distinct disadvantages. The yields obtained in dehalogenation reactions are often only moderate. In addition, many of the described reactions are reproducible only with difficulty. These disadvantages are true especially of phenyl-substituted polyphosphanes which, however, in view of the ready availability of PhPCI2, are of particular interest. The main disadvantage of the condensation method resides in the use of primary phosphanes, RPH2l which are often pyrophoric and toxic.
It is known that metal phosphanides can be prepared from a dihalo(organyl)phosphane, RPHal2, and a metal M (M = alkali metal or alkaline earth metal), preferably lithium, in an ethereal solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dimethoxyethane (DME) (K. Issleib, Z Chem. 1962, 2, 163 - 173).
It is also known that polyphosphanes [RP]n (R = organic radical, n = 3 - ∞) react with reducing metals M in an ethereal solvent to form metal phosphanides Mx(PnRn). Such a reaction is described, for example, in: ( (a) J.W.B. Reesor, G.F. Wright, J. Org. Chem. 1957, 22, 385 - 387; (b) W. Kuchen, H. Buchwald, Chem. Ber. 1958, 91, 2296; (c) K. Issleib, K. Krech, Chem. Ber. 1966, 99, 1310 - 1314; (d) P.R. Hoffman, K.G. Caulton, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1975, 97, 6370 - 6374).
It is furthermore known that polyphosphanes [RP]n react with metal phosphanides M2(PR1) or with M(PR1 2) in ethereal solvents to form metal (oligophosphanides) Mm[PR1 k(RP)n.ιPR] (m =1, k =2; m = 2, k =1) (K. Issleib, F. Krech, J. prakt. Chem. 1969, 311, 464).
A distinct disadvantage of such methods of synthesis is the use of a very aggressive reaction medium, which consists of an ether and of an alkali metal having a strong reducing action. Such mixtures are potentially highly hazardous. In particular, the strongly basic metal phosphanides decompose the ethers employed as solvents, forming alcoholates and readily volatile hydrocarbons, such as ethylene. The risk is generally that, in the event of contact with oxygen, highly explosive peroxides will be formed.
The object of the invention was to provide a less dangerous, simple, selective and efficient method of synthesising cycloorganylphosphanes and di(alkali metal/alkaline earth metal) oligophosphanediides.
The invention accordingly relates to a process for the preparation of cycloorganylphosphanes of formula I CF P),, by reaction of dihalo(organyl)phosphanes of formula R^Hab, wherein
R1 is CrCι2alkyl; C3-Ci2cycloalkyl, aryl or heteroaryl,
Hal is F, Cl, Br or I, and n is a number from 3 to 20, with a) activated zinc in an organic solvent, or with b) an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal in a non-polar organic solvent in the presence of an activator selected from the group consisting of ethers and polyethers, amines and poly- amines, aromatic N-heterocycles and carbonic acid derivatives, wherein the ratio by volume of non-polar solvent to activator is from 10 : 0.1 to 10 : 5.
Suitable aryl radicals include those which have a carbocyclic structure having from 6 to 24 structural atoms, such as, preferably, phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, binaphthyl, phenanthryl and anthryl.
Suitable heteroaryl radicals are those which have a heterocarbocyclic structure having from 5 to 24 structural atoms in which none, one, two or three of the structural atoms in each ring are hetero atoms; in the entire molecule, however, at least one structural atom is a hetero atom. The hetero atom is an atom from the group consisting of nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen, examples of heteroaryl radicals being, preferably, pyridyl, oxazolyl, thienyl, benzofuranyl, benzothiophenyl, dibenzofuranyl, dibenzothiophenyl, furyl, indolyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, imidazolyl, pyrimidinyl and quinolinyl.
The aryl radicals or heteroaryl radicals may also be substituted by up to five identical or different substituents per ring. The substituents are from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, nitro, cyano, free or protected formyl, hydroxy, d-C^alkyl, Cι-Cι2haloalkyl, Cι-C,2alkoxy, Cι-C12haloalkoxy, C3-Cι2cycloalkyl, Cβ-C24aryl, for example phenyl, Cβ-C2 - arylalkyl, for example benzyl, di(CrC12alkyl)amino, (CrC^alkylJamino, CO(C Ci2alkyl), OCO(Cι-C12alkyl), N(Cι-Cβalkyl)CO(CrC12alkyl),

The solvents and solvent mixtures suitable for process step (a) are listed under A) to F). A) Ethereal solvents, for example those having the composition R2-0-R3 or R2-0-[(CH2-CH2)-0]n-R3. The radicals R2 and R3 may be identical or different.

Accordingly, using alkyl halides such as n-propyl iodide, the diphosphane 5 is obtained in quantitative yield (in the form of a mixture of the R,S and R,R or S,S isomers).
Using trimethylsilyl chloride, Me3SiCI, it is possible to prepare bisphenylbis(trimethylsilyl)- diphosphane 6 in high yield, hitherto obtainable only by complex methods.
Using sulfur, the novel disodium salt of tetrathiohypodiphosphonic acid 7 is obtained in quantitative yield. Hitherto only the dilithium and dipotassium salts and also a nickel complex of the little investigated tetrathiohypodiphosphonic acid have been described. The maximum yield achieved was about 60%.
The reaction of 2 with arylcarboxylic acid chlorides, such as mesitoyl chloride, results, with disproportionation, in bis(mesitoyl)phenylphosphane 8 and cyclophenylphosphane, especially the cyclopentaphosphane 1 (PhP)5.
Finally, bis(acyl)diphosphanes, such as bis(benzoyl)diphosphane 9, are obtainable from the bissilyldiphosphane 6 and equivalent amounts of the appropriate carboxylic acid chloride. Those compounds are also obtainable in a one-pot process by reaction of the disodium diphosphanediides 2 with Me3SiCI and subsequent addition of RCOCI.

Process variant a)
In a 150 ml Schlenk tube, 8.18 g of zinc powder (0.125 mol) are dried for 2 hours at approximately 200°C under an oil pump vacuum. The cooled zinc powder is covered with a layer of 60 ml of anhydrous, oxygen-free THF. 17.0 ml of PhPCI2 (0.125 mol) are slowly added dropwise, with vigorous stirring, in such a manner that the temperature of the reaction solution does not exceed 40°C. After stirring for a further 30 minutes at RT, the THF is distilled off under an oil pump vacuum. After taking up the light-yellow solid in 80 ml of CH2CI2, the light-yellow suspension is washed twice with 25 ml of an aqueous saturated NH4CI solution each time and is then dried over Na2S04. The CH2CI2 is distilled off under an oil pump vacuum and the colourless solid is recrystallised from a suitable solvent (e.g. CH3CN, Et20). Yield: 11.83 g (88%); 31P NMR (CβDβ): δ = -3.7ppm ( ); (PhP)4 and (PhP)6 each <2%. Example 2 Preparation of pentaphenylcyclopentaphosphane (PhP)5 Process variant b)
160 ml (138 g) of toluene and 6.5 g of TMEDA (0.056 mol) are placed under a nitrogen atmosphere in a 500 ml Schlenk vessel. 2.53 g (0.110 mol) of sodium are added, which are melted by heating and suspended by stirring. After cooling the suspension to approximately 50°C, 10 g of PhPCI2 (0.055 mol) are added thereto. The mixture is then heated for approximately 90 minutes at a bath temperature of 140°C. At the beginning of the reaction, the suspension becomes turbid and takes on a slightly brown-red colour; NaCI is precipitated during the reaction. The reaction mixture, which no longer contains any metal, is concentrated to dryness under a high vacuum and, with the exclusion of oxygen, 50 ml of saturated aqueous NH CI solution are added to the residue and extraction is carried out with 100 ml of CH2CI2. After concentration of the CH CI2 phase and drying under a high vacuum, slightly brownish pentaphenylcyclopentaphosphane remains. Yield: 5.28 g (89%), content of (PhP)β and (PhP)4 < 5%
