ChemInform Abstract: Fluoride Catalyzed P—Aryl‐Coupling — A Mild Approach to Functionalized Arylphosphines.

Abstract

A variety of di‐ and triarylphosphines is successfully synthesized by CsF‐catalyzed coupling of the corresponding trimethylsilylphosphines with aryl fluorides under mild conditions.

Mild Transition-Metal-Free Amination of Fluoroarenes Catalyzed by Fluoride Ions

“…We recently developed a fluoride-catalyzed method for the formation of P−C bonds between fluoroarenes and silylphosphines . To the best of our knowledge, there is only one publication on the usage of silylamines in this type of reaction: in 1994, Miller and Furin reported the reaction of bis(trimethylsilyl)amine with perfluorinated arenes yielding a mixture of arylamines, diarylamines, and triarlyamines …”
