Synthesis of Alkyl and Fluoroalkyl Chains Containing Thioether-Phosphines

Abstract

We prepared new thioether-arylphosphines bearing alkyl and fluoroalkyl chains at the sulfur atom in order to use them in metal­-catalyzed reactions in new reaction media, such as a fluorous biphasic system. The characterization of the new compounds is discussed and the partition coefficients in the biphasic system perfluoromethylcyclohexane-cyclohexane were determined. Fluorous thioether-phosphines reacted with [Rh(acac)(CO)₂] under fluorous biphasic conditions to produce rhodium species retained in the fluo­rous phase with ≤2.32 ppm of rhodium loss in the organic phase. The effect of S-ponytails on the coordination properties of the new phosphines and their relation with ^³¹P NMR chemical shifts were supported by DFT calculations.

Key words

P,S-ligands - fluoroalkyl halides - thioether compounds - fluorinated arylphosphines - biphase systems
