Product Description & Scientific Applications

Mor-DalPhos is an electron-rich, sterically hindered P,N ligand: a di(1-adamantyl)phosphine on a phenyl ring bearing a morpholine, so phosphorus and nitrogen both coordinate. It is a lead variant of the DalPhos family, alongside MeDalPhos, which handles primary and secondary amines as well as ammonia.

Ammonia monoarylation. This is the ligand's primary application. Its remit is selective monoarylation of ammonia at mild temperatures, together with hydrazine cross-coupling and acetone arylation. Electron-rich and electron-poor aryl chlorides alike couple to ammonia with high monoarylation selectivity, and it is the ligand used in a reactivity survey aimed at establishing what would enable that amination at room temperature.

Hydrazine. With two related ligands it promotes palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with hydrazine.

Acetone monoarylation. A cinnamyl palladium system with this ligand achieved the first selective monoarylation of acetone, with chloride, bromide, iodide, tosylate and mesylate all serving as the electrophile. That selectivity is described as an unusual ability of these catalyst mixtures. The reaction feeds a one-pot, multicomponent synthesis of 2-methylindoles, a core found in an anti-inflammatory, an antipsychotic and an anticancer drug.

Alkyne hydroamination. As a P,N ligand it also supports gold-catalysed stereoselective hydroamination of internal alkynes with dialkylamines, giving the E-amines.

Chemoselectivity. A precatalyst and ligand mixture monoarylated octylamine with 1-chloro-2-iodobenzene in 96% isolated yield, leaving the chloride untouched.

Limits. In one comparison against other phosphine ligands it gave poor catalytic activity under those reaction conditions.
