Aminophosphine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In organophosphorus chemistry, aminophosphines are compounds with the formula R3−nP(NR2)n where R is a hydrogen or organic substituent, and n = 0, 1, or 2. At one extreme, the parents H2PNH2 and P(NH2)3 are lightly studied and fragile. At the other extreme, tris(dimethylamino)phosphine (P(NMe2)3) is commonly available. Intermediate members are known, such as Ph2PN(H)Ph. Aminophosphines are typically colorless and reactive to oxygen. Aminophosphines are pyramidal at the phosphorus.[1]

Parent members

[edit]
Structure of P(NMe2)3.
The aminophosphine called the Verkade base is a superbase.

The fundamental aminophosphines have the formulae PH3−n(NH2)n (n = 1, 2, or 3). Fundamental aminophosphines can not be isolated in a practical quantities but have been examined theoretically. H2NPH2 is predicted to be more stable than the P(V) tautomer HN=PH3.[2]

Secondary amines are more straightforward. Trisaminophosphines are made by treating phosphorus trichloride with secondary amines:

PCl3 + 6 HNMe2 → (Me2N)3P + 3 [H2NMe2]Cl

Aminophosphine chlorides

[edit]
Structure of Me2NPCl2.

The amination of phosphorus trihalides occur sequentially, with each amination proceeding slower than before:[3]

PCl3 + 2 HNMe2 → Me2NPCl2 + [H2NMe2]Cl
Me2NPCl2 + 2 HNMe2 → (Me2N)2PCl + [H2NMe2]Cl

With bulky amines like diisopropylamine, the selectivity for the monosubstitution improves.[4] Commercially available aminophosphine chlorides include dimethylaminophosphorus dichloride and bis(dimethylamino)phosphorus chloride.

Related aminophosphine fluorides compounds are available from trifluorophosphine. The diphosphine MeN(PF2)2 is prepared from methylamine:

2 PF3 + 3 MeNH2 → MeN(PF2)2 + 2 [MeNH3]F

Me(PF2)2 is used as a bridging ligand in organometallic chemistry.

Substituted aminophosphines are generally prepared from organophosphorus chlorides and amines. The method is used to prepare ligands for homogeneous catalysis.[5] Chlorodiphenylphosphine and diethylamine react to give an aminophosphine:[1][6]

Ph2PCl + 2 HNEt2 → Ph2PNEt2 + [H2NEt2]Cl

Primary amines react with phosphorus(III) chlorides give aminophosphines with acidic α-NH centers:[7]

Ph2PCl + 2 H2NR → Ph2PN(H)R + [H3NR]Cl

Reactions

[edit]

Protonolysis

[edit]

The P-N bond is susceptible to attack by protic reagents. Alcoholysis occurs readily:

Ph2PNEt2 + ROH → Ph2POR + HNEt2

The P-N bond reverts to the chloride upon treatment with anhydrous hydrogen chloride:

Ph2PNEt2 + 2 HCl → Ph2PCl + [H2NEt2]Cl

Similarly, transamination is used in the conversion of one aminophosphine to another:

P(NMe2)3 + R2NH ⇌ P(NR2)(NMe2)2 + HNMe2

With tris(dimethylamino)phosphine is a reactant, the equilibrium can be driven by evaporation of dimethylamine.[8]

Since the P-NR2 bond is not attacked by Grignard reagents, aminophosphine chlorides are useful reagents in the preparation of unsymmetrical tertiary phosphines. Illustrative is the conversion of dimethylaminophosphorus dichloride to chlorodimethylphosphine:[9]

2 MeMgBr + Me2NPCl2 → Me2NPMe2 + 2 MgBrCl
Me2NPMe2 + 2 HCl → ClPMe2 + Me2NH2Cl

Illustrative also is the chemistry of 1,2-bis(dichlorophosphino)benzene, a versatile precursor to diphosphine ligands, is prepared using aminophosphine reagents. It is prepared from 1,2-dibromobenzene via lithiation and treatment with (Et2N)2PCl (Et = ethyl). This route gives C6H4[P(NEt2)2]2, which is treated with hydrogen chloride:[10]

C6H4[P(NEt2)2]2 + 8 HCl → C6H4(PCl2)2 + 4 Et2NH2Cl

Conversion to phosphenium salts

[edit]

Diaminophosphorus chlorides and tris(dimethylamino)phosphine are precursors to phosphenium ions of the type [(R2N)2P]+:[11]

R2PCl + AlCl3 → [R2P+]AlCl4
P(NMe2)3 + 2 HOTf → [P(NMe2)2]OTf + [H2NMe2]OTf

Oxidation and quaternization

[edit]

Typical aminophosphines undergo oxidation to the oxide. Alkylation, e.g. by methyl iodide, gives the phosphonium cation.
