Why study P-B ligands? ? P-O P-C P-B P-N P-F electronegativity Pringle Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51 Phosphinoboranes vs. borylphosphines ‘Phosphinoborane’ ‘Boryl Phosphine’ Examples of P-B containing ligands Nöth, 1992 Weller, 2013 Bourissou, 2012 Buchwald, 2012
B-N substituted aryl ligands Initial targets vs. vs. Liu,2009 7 steps, 10% yield Dewar, 1958 Piers, 2007 Need a milder source of phosphorus
B-Cl + P-Si exchange B-Cl + P-Si → B-P + SiCl? Noeth,Chem. Berichte1965, 98, 352 ≡ Advantages: • Mild conditions • No work-up needed • NH - group tolerant

Electron-Poor Groups on Boron Stephan JACS 2008,12632 versus B-Cl + P-Si → B-P + SiCl? Bourissou, JACS 2012, 6560 Lose ClSiMe3 to form P=B?
? Add a source of Cl- to catalyse the loss of ClSiMe3? Sequential adduct formation and loss of ClSiMe3 to give phosphinoborane
Conclusions and future work • Exploit electron donating ability of phosphine in oxidative addition reactionsand catalysis. • Investigate the stability of ligands. Route to P-B under mild conditions Substituting C2 for BN dramatically increases electron donating ability of ligand Silyl exchange route to phosphinoboranes Extremely electron rich phosphine
