Zusammenfassung:
The fine-tuning of metal-phosphine-catalyzed reactions relies largely on accessing ever more precisely tuned phosphine ligands by de-novo synthesis. Late-stage C−H functionalization and diversification of commercial phosphines offers rapid access to entire libraries of derivatives based on privileged scaffolds. But existing routes, relying on phosphorus-directed transformations, only yield functionalization of Csp2−H bonds in a specific position relative to phosphorus. In contrast to phosphorus-directed strategies, herein we disclose an orthogonal functionalization strategy capable of introducing a range of substituents into previously inaccessible positions on arylphosphines. The strongly coordinating phosphine group acts solely as a bystander in the sterically controlled borylation of bulky phosphines, and the resulting borylated phosphines serve as the supporting ligands for palladium during diversification through phosphine self-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura reactions.
