With stabilized ylides: The Wittig reaction with stabilized Phosphorus ylides carrying at least one oxygen at the α-carbon atom are very unstable at room temperature and can only be generated and detected in situ <61CB1373, 62CB2514, 64TL3323>. treating it with methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide in presence of potassium They also react with The reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with a phosphonium ylide to an alkene recently achieved this feat in an enantioselective fashion using a chiral thiourea as catalyst (equation 52).162 A description of yet further methods for the preparation phosphoranes can be found in Johnson's excellent monograph.131c, Vadim D. Romanenko, ... Lydia Lamandé, in Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations, 1995. lithium amide bases compromise (Z)-selectivity and are best avoided for this reason, see Section 1.15.3.1.3.1). Representative examples of traditional syntheses of nonstabilized (249) and stabilized (252) phosphorus ylides via deprotonation of phosphonium salts. The ylide donates its nucleophilic lone pair to the carbonyl and the carbonyl pi bond breaks. The NMR spectra of these complexes are of some interest and have been studied in detail.11,13,14 Selected parameters for the trimethylphosphinomethylene complex are listed in Table 1. These species have received increased attention since they were shown to present great synthetic potential in the synthesis of derivatives and analogues of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene <86T1209, 93PS(74)279>. Since it is also a weak base, a competing elimination does not occur, and bimolecular substitution of primary and secondary alkyl halides gives good yields. It should be noted that P-alkoxy substituted phosphonium ylides readily rearrange into phosphonates with migration of the alkyl group to the ylide carbon atom (the ylide version of the Pishchimuka reaction <75CB2465>). For example, tetrakis(isopropyl)phosphonium iodide (61) was prepared as shown in Scheme 13. Although expansion of the valence shell occurs for third-row elements by using empty 3d orbitals, the 3d-2p π bond formed between a third-row and a second-row element is weak because of ineffective overlap of atomic orbitals. This review covers the most significant advances during the past 20 years in this area. In the step-wise mechanism, the stereochemistry of the oxophosphetane is dependent on the stability of the phosphonium ylide. Practical applications of ylides 2, 4 and 6 are limited by their poor solubility (insoluble in most organic solvents except DMSO) and low stability. The Wittig reaction can be carried out in the presence of alkene, alkyne, halogen, ether, or ester functional groups. shown in the following Wittig reaction. oxaphosphetane is decomposed to give an alkene and a phosphine oxide. Hence the E-alkene stable anti form before the decomposition occurs. Phosphonium salts are frequently intermediates in the reactions of ylides with electrophiles, and in these cases are rapidly deprotonated by the parent ylide to afford novel functionalized ylides (transylidation). The ( E )/ ( Z) selectivity is often poor with semistabilized ylides (R 3 = aryl). Unlike bis(phenylthio)methylenetributylphosphorane (80; R = Bun) which is stable enough to be isolated in pure state, ylides of the type (84) can only be generated in situ. 37 14 exhibited a remarkable stability in solution and could be stored for weeks under an inert atmosphere, thus representing an ideal reagent for ylide transfer (see below). negatively charged carbon of ylide onto the carbonyl carbon to give a betaine, Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction: This is modified Wittig reaction ii) Stabilized ylides: The ylides with electron withdrawing groups Early examples are provided by the synthesis of halo- and dihalomethylidene phosphoranes from halocarbene species generated by base-mediated alpha elimination.153 Contemporaneous studies by Wittig and Schlosser established that phosphoranes can also be generated from transition metal alkylidenes with their successful realization of ylide formation via Cu(I) catalyzed decomposition of diazo compounds in the presence of PPh3.154 Wider adoption of this broadly applicable paradigm for the synthesis of phosphoranes has not occurred until relatively recently. We recall that the nucleophilicity of third-row elements such as sulfur and phosphorus is greater than that of second-row elements because the atoms are more polarizable (Section 10.1). phosphorus and oxygen through a syn-periplanar transition state. For example, the phosphorane 252 derived from α-bromovalerolactone (250) was formed from the corresponding phosphonium bromide salt 251 by deprotonation in alkaline solution and then isolated as a crystalline solid following extraction into chloroform, evaporation of organic solvent, and recrystallization.147. 1). Alkyl halides add to ylides to give α-substituted phosphonium salts <75IZV2845, 82JOC2768, 85CB3105>. In stable ylides, the reaction in which the phosphorus atom attacks the carbonyl carbon to form oxaphosphetane is a reversible reaction. different from that of the tetramethylphosphonium cation. protonation with an acid. Alternatively, the Julia olefination and its variants also provide the ( E )-alkene selectively. Phosphorus ylides are usually obtained from alkyl halides and triphenylphosphine in a two-step sequence. Phosphonium ylides have a general structure often written as a resonance hybrid (Figure 2). We recall that a similar argument accounts for the diminished capacity of the halogen atoms to donate electrons in electrophilic aromatic substitution of aromatic rings (Section 13.6). The phenylthio and methylthio groups may also be introduced by N-methyl-N-phenylthioacetamide and dimethylsuccinimidosulfonium chloride. The oxaphosphetane is decomposed to give an alkene and a phosphine oxide. Conjugate addition reactions of a different nature can be employed to access nonstabilized ylides via nucleophilic addition to vinyl phosphonium salts. Subsequently, Seebach and co-workers suggested an excellent one-pot synthesis of bis(phenylthio)methylene ylide (80) based on the reaction of tris(phenylthio)methyllithium (79) with phosphines (Scheme 39) <72CB487>. Triphenylphosphine is an overwhelmingly favorite starting material because it is easy to handle (air-stable crystalline solid), inexpensive, of comparatively low toxicity, and the resulting alkyltriphenylphosphonium salts have only one site for subsequent deprotonation during their conversion to ylides. oxaphosphetane. Scheme 2. The first step in the Wittig reaction is nucleophilic attack of the negatively charged carbon atom of the ylide on the carbonyl group to give an adduct called a betaine that rapidly converts to an oxaphosphetane. 3) An exocyclic double bond can be successfully introduced on camphor by UV irradiation of mixed phosphonium–iodonium ylide in CH2Cl2 leads to formation of free radicals with lifetimes of a few minutes detected by EPR. Though the formation of betaine is not established, the formation of the four Scheme 35. A less commonly exploited route to stabilized ylides involves conjugate addition of Ph3P to maleic acid derivatives followed by tautomerization, as shown by the synthesis of succinimidyl phosphorane 255 (Scheme 34).148 A related method for the in situ generation of semistabilized ylides was recently reported involving addition of PPh3 to O-Boc Baylis–Hillman adducts (e.g., 256) followed by β-elimination and deprotonation of the resulting phosphonium salt (257) by the liberated tert-butoxide base.149 Zwitterionic enolates derived from Michael acceptors and PPh3 have also been used as bases for the in situ generation of stabilized ylides from α-bromoacetates.150. (Z)-alkenes. This step is concerted; all bonds break and form simultaneously in the transition state. However, this sequence of reactions cannot be employed for the preparation of ylides in which R1 and R2 are electron-withdrawing groups.

Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction is also known as: Horner–Emmons or 1) In the following Wittig reaction, the cyclohexanone is converted to The last step involves the elimination of Scheme 36. contributing structure is a zwitter For simple alkyltriphenylphosphonium salts a comparatively strong base such as NaHMDS is required to generate the corresponding nonstabilized ylide (nb. For the reader’s convenience, the authors have tried to retain in general the form of the previous version. methylidenecyclohexane by treating with (methylene)triphenylphosphorane, which Just this type of compounds was the main subject of the corresponding chapter by Bestmann and Zimmerman in the first edition of Comprehensive Organic Synthesis1 in 1991. However, since the electron-withdrawing arenesulfonyl substituents reduce the nucleophilicity of the ylide carbon, the compounds (ArSO2)2CP(OR)R2 are considerably more stable than their C-alkylated or arylated analogues. Deprotonation of phosphonium salts (83) yields an ylide which can be trapped in good yield with a carbonyl compound to afford a dithiafulvalene <76TL3695, 78JOC369, 83TL3469, 91S26>. The requirement of simple and inexpensive reagents to generate the necessary phosphonium ylide (phosphorane) reactant (a phosphine, typically Ph 3 P (1), an alkyl halide and a base), also adds to its appeal . Phosphorus ylides are routinely generated by the deprotonation of phosphonium salts, themselves typically produced via quaternization of a phosphine with an alkyl halide. There are two main types of Wittig rearrangement: 1,2-Wittig rearrangement and 2,3-Wittig rearrangement. membered oxaphosphetane intermediate is confirmed by 31P-NMR The alkaline stability of the phosphonium-functionalized AAEM in 1 M KOH(aq) at 80 °C suggests that these may be excellent candidates for higher-temperature AMFC devices. The intermediate phosphorus compound, either the betaine or the oxaphosphetane, immediately decomposes to yield the alkene and a phosphine oxide. In a separate second step, the alkyltriphenylphosphonium salt is deprotonated using a strong base such as sodium hydride or butyllithium. ylides is E-selective. yield of ylide 6. An illustrative example, albeit a fairly complex one, is seen in the preparation of 1° alkyl phosphonium salt 248 and its conversion to an ylide (249) representing a C9-C14 fragment of discodermolide (Scheme 33).146 To facilitate phosphonium salt formation from the branched iodide 247, this compound was heated neat with excess PPh3; more conventionally, the phosphine and alkyl halide are combined in a solvent such as toluene or THF (at reflux). Here the employment of metal catalysts have proven to be particularly advantageous. However the formation Since the ylide is stable and the formation of Jolly, in Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry, 1982, Phosphorus ylides are able to substitute one of the carbonyl groups in nickel tetracarbonyl (equation 7).11 The crystal structure of the tricyclohexylphosphinoethylidene complex (2) clearly shows that the ylide C atom is acting as the donor atom; the nickel–phosphorus separation (3.30 Å) precludes the presence of a bond between these atoms.12. Thermodynamic stabilities of ylides are measured by the ease of the carbanion formation through the removal of a proton from their precursors. Direct incorporation of (RS)2C units into tervalent phosphorus compounds may be achieved by the carbenoid method. hydrolysis yield aldehydes containing one more carbon atom. The conversion of tertiary phosphanes into P-haloylides by carbon tetrahalides also involves the deprotonation of a transient phosphonium ion by the trihalomethanide anion. These ylides are commercially sold as they are stable. The uncharged resonance form has a double bond between the phosphorus and carbon atoms, so the phosphorus atom has 10 electrons in its valence shell. The conversion of tertiary phosphanes into P-haloylides by carbon tetrahalides also involves the deprotonation of a transient phosphonium ion by the trihalomethanide anion. Direct as well as indirect roads for the synthesis of ylides have been devised. However, the strong P-O bond then takes over the reaction. The Wittig reaction provides a path from aldehydes and ketones to alkenes and, consequently, is a valuable tool in organic synthesis. If R is an electron withdrawing group, then the ylide is stabilized and is not as reactive as when R is alkyl. i.e. However, this method is far from straightforward. The atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) reaction is a classical choice to forge new carbon–carbon bonds from alkenes. Odinets, D.V. phosphonium ylides in the Wittig reaction Phosphonium ylides are broadly categorised according to the nature of the substituent(s) attached to the a-carbon (R2 in Fig. poor because of steric effects. The dipolar resonance form is generally used to show the mechanism of the Wittig reaction. It provides a way to synthesize alkenes from carbonyl compounds. 1.2 Phosphonium and Sulfonium Ylides . unstabilized ylides give Z-alkenes, and stabilized ylides give E-alkene. give the oxaphosphetane directly. The data up to 1998 in this area are well discussed in the review on this topic of Oleg I. Kolodiazhnyi2 and in his book ‘Phosphorus Ylides, Chemistry and Application in Organic Synthesis,’ published in 1999,3 as well as in the subsequent review of M. Taillefer and H.-J. Stabilized arsonium ylides have been extended by reaction with methyl and ethyl propiolate <1998JCS(P1)1801>. This reaction, discovered by Georg Wittig, is called the Wittig reaction. are very high but yields of tetra-substituted alkenes from ketones are often There is now much time for the syn oxaphosphetane to interconvert to more carbanion generated from phosponates is more nucleophilic and the phosphate explained as follows: The carbonyl compound and the ylide approach each other at right angles and Indeed, similar calculations for the reaction with a cyclic ylide 4 b (X=CH 2 ) as well as with an acyclic one ( 4 c : Me 3 P→SiMePh) predict that they proceed by a barrier‐free (in terms of internal energy) concerted mechanism ( E a =0 kcal mol −1 ). Abstract Phosphorus chemistry is diverse and has a variety of uses in all types of chemistry. The geometry of the resulting alkene depends on the reactivity of the ylide. Finally, it should be noted that ylides are nucleophilic species and consequently they can be readily derivatized to more complex examples by reactions with appropriate electrophiles. ylides upon treatment with the base. The reaction is catalyzed by cupric acetonylacetonate and most likely involves the initial complexing of the reactants with the Cu atom, followed by transylidation. achieved the first synthesis of phosphite-derived ylides by tetraphenylporphyrin iron chloride (ClFeTPP) catalyzed decomposition of tosyl hydrazone anions in the presence of trimethylphosphite (equation 48).158 In this case, the usual approach to ylides cannot be applied because phosphite esters engage in the Michaelis–Arbuzov phosphonate synthesis when heated with alkyl halides (see Section 1.15.3.2.2). Ylide generation via cuprate addition to a vinyl phosphonium salt. The high stability is due to the strong stabilization of the negative charge by the sulfonyl and phosphonium … The reaction of polychlorophosphoranes with activated methylene compounds affords bis(arenesulfonyl)methylene ylides (87) with both one and two chlorine atoms at the phosphorus atom (Scheme 43) <77ZOB2390, 82ZOB1538>. electron donating group. In Schlosser modification, the initially formed less stable syn betaine can be converted to The adjacent to the negatively charged carbon are more stable. In a similar fashion, seleno-substituted ylides can be synthesized using areneselenyl chlorides or bromides <76JOM(114)281, 79CB355>. The Schlosser modification: It is possible to get E-alkenes P.R. The other new trends in the synthesis of phosphorus ylides deal with the synthesis and chemistry of phosphorus ylides C-substituted by metal, metalloids, and nonmetals. The proton on the carbon atom bonded to phosphorus is weakly acidic because the positively charged phosphorus inductively withdraws electrons. The first section mainly deals with synthetic approaches to phosphorus ylides having exclusively PC bonds, including C-substituted by an electron-withdrawing group (COR, CO2R, CN, etc.) This bonding stabilization extends to carbanions adjacent to phosphonium centers, and the zwitterionic conjugate bases derived from such cations are known as ylides. ylides yields Z-alkenes predominantly (Z-selective). The Wittig reaction can also be used to convert a ketone to a methylene group in a single step. Aromatic and aliphatic sulfonyl fluorides are most suitable for the introduction of a sulfonyl group into the α-position of methylenephosphoranes. What combination of phosphorus ylide and a carbonyl compound could be used to prepare each of the following alkenes? Semi-stable ylides often result in poor selectivity. the stability of the ylide. one step. However the reaction rate may in this case be increased by the addition to the reaction medium of tertiary amines. Wittig rearrangement is a type of transformation of one form into another form depending on the stability. C. Prelab Questions 1) A general ylide preparation is described in figure 2. A successful alternative approach to the ylide species such as (89) utilizes reaction of bis(arenesulfonyl)methylenephosphines, (ArSO2)2CHPY2, with carbon tetrahalides <79ZOB104>. Simple ylides (65), derived from methylphosphonium salts, undergo oxidative dimerization on treatment with copper(II) chloride to yield bis(phosphonium salts) (66) (Equation (42)) <84ZN(B)618>. Other reagents that have been used to prepare quaternary phosphonium salts on addition to ylides include epoxides <83C10>, acid chlorides <77AG(E)45>, quaternary nitrile salts <85IZV1200>, methyl sulfonyl fluoride <81JCS(P1)3059>, silicon <59CI(L)849> and selenium <85JAP60152493, 88JOC2937> reagents.
