Abstract
Nap-Phos, representing a new naphthyl-phenyl biaryl-type phosphine ligand class and available by a short synthesis (4 steps, 71% overall yield), effectively catalyzes the Suzuki-Miyaura (including highly hindered cases), hydrodehalogenation, and Heck reactions.
Key words
cross-coupling - Suzuki-Miyaura - homogenous catalysis - Heck reaction - phosphorus ligand - hindered biaryls - dehydrohalogenation

[2 4 shows strong intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the solid state and in solution. The (C1)O-H-O=P intramolecular bond distances are 1.079 Å and 1.533 Å, respectively, while intermolecular (C4′)O-H-O=P bond distances are 1.046 Å and 1.794 Å, respectively. The 31 P NMR spectrum reveals a low field shifted phosphorus signal at δ = 67.9 ppm and the 1 H NMR spectrum (anhyd DMSO-d

16b Replacement of (EtO)3 SiH with the more economical and non-toxic polyhydromethylsiloxane (PMHS), as suggested in the above reference, was similarly effective (110 °C, 56 h) but caused problems of incomplete separation of polymeric siloxanes in column chromatography.
17 Use of an equimolar ligand 7 :Pd(OAc)2 ratio produced a very active catalyst, leading to 50% product formation in 15 min in DMF or MeOH at 40 °C (Table

24 A preliminary PM3 modeling study shows a low racemization barrier (20 kcal/mol) for Nap-Phos which precludes its use as a chiral ligand in cross coupling reactions under conditions described herein. Few chiral non-racemic atropisomeric ligand motifs are known. For discussion, see ref. 14c.
