Product Description & Scientific Applications

CPhos is a dialkylbiaryl phosphine carrying two dimethylamino groups on the lower ring. With SPhos and RuPhos it supports Suzuki and Negishi reactions of aryl chlorides with secondary alkyl nucleophiles.

Suppressing isomerisation. This is the ligand's primary application. When a secondary alkylzinc couples to an aryl electrophile, the palladium–alkyl intermediate can migrate along the chain by β-hydride elimination and re-addition, so a branched nucleophile delivers the linear product instead. CPhos is one of a short list of ligands developed to limit that pathway, alongside dppf, tri-tert-butylphosphine and the N-heterocyclic carbenes. In one comparison under Barbier conditions — the alkyl halide, zinc and electrophile combined in a single pot — only CPhos and dppf converted the aryl triflate at all, and CPhos gave a 77:23 ratio of the direct coupling product to the chain-walked C2 and C1 isomers. Its ortho dimethylamino group has since been borrowed by others: a hybrid ligand pairing that group with the ortho methoxy of SPhos gave cross-coupled product with no isomerised product at all.

Mechanochemical coupling. It was the phosphine chosen for a mechanochemical Negishi coupling of aryl halides with organozinc reagents, and that work calls it the most efficient ligand of those screened.

Alkene carboamination. A palladium acetate system with this ligand, lithium tert-butoxide and benzotrifluoride gave the highest yield of the desired product, with only a small amount of Heck arylation side product.

Limits. In one diastereoselective piperidine arylation, CPhos gave the product in 18% yield at 98:2 dr, where RuPhos on the same palladium source gave 29% at 93:7 — higher diastereocontrol at roughly half the yield.
