Abstract

A photooxidation approach to the conversion of phosphines into the corresponding phosphine oxides is reported. By taking advantage of O₂ in the air as an oxidant and oxygen source, phosphine oxides were obtained efficiently in moderate to excellent yields. A four-coordinated organoboron compound was used as the photocatalyst to activate O₂ to its singlet state. This photooxidation method features mild reaction conditions, broad functional-group tolerance, and a wide substrate scope.

Key words

photocatalysis - oxidation - phosphines - phosphine oxides - boron catalysis

20 Phosphine Oxides 2a–af; General Procedure A flame-dried 25 mL quartz-column reaction tube equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar was charged with the appropriate phosphine 1 (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), AQDAB (0.002 mmol, 1 mol%), and CH₃CN (2.0 mL). The tube was placed in a photocatalytic parallel reactor equipped with a white LEDs light source (5 W) at the bottom. The mixture was then irradiated at a distance of ~0.3 cm from the light source with stirring for 3 h at 25 °C. The resulting mixture was concentrated under a vacuum to afford a crude product, which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, PE–EtOAc).
