Abstract

Phosphorinanes are presented as a class of phosphine ligand suitable for organopalladium cross-coupling chemistry. Prepared via a direct double Michael addition of a monoalkyl-or arylphosphine to phorone followed by a Wolf-Kishner reduction, phosphorinanes are relatively inexpensive to manufacture and allow modification of one of the alkyl moieties permitting steric and electronic fine-tuning of the ligands.
