“…This progress relied on the utilization of some special bidentate additives, for example, aliphatic diamines, 1,10-phenanthroline and its derivatives,2f ethylene glycol,5a diethylsalicylamide,5b amino acids, oxime-type and Schiff base ligands, thiophene-2-carboxylate, bidentate phosphines, diphosphinidenecyclobutene, and diphenyl pyrrolidine-2-phosphonate for N -arylation of amines/amides and 1-naphthoic acid,2a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione,2b phosphazene P 4 - t -Bu base,2c N,N -dimethylglycine,2d 8-hydroxyquinoline,2e and salicylal-doxime (Salox) 2g for O -arylation of substituted phenol or alcohol. Although arylphosphonates and phosphane oxides are of practical application, to the best of our knowledge, examples of copper-mediated C−P bond formation are rare 6i, here we report it and its analogue pipecolinic acid as efficient bidentate ligands for the formation of copper-catalyzed C−P bonds.…”
