2 Organocatalytic Asymmetric Hydrophosphination of α,β- Unsaturated Aldehydes: Development, Mechanism and DFT Calculations Ismail Ibrahem, Peter Hammar, Jan Vesely, Ramon Rios, Lars Eriksson and Armando Córdova * Department of Organic Chemistry The Arrhenius Laboratory Stockholm University, SE Stockholm (Sweden) Supporting Information General: Chemicals and solvents were either purchased puriss p.a. from commercial suppliers or purified by standard techniques. Catalysts 10, 11 and 12 were synthesized according to literature procedures. [1] For thin-layer chromatography (TLC), silica gel plates Merck 60 F254 were used and compounds were visualized by irradiation with UV light and/or by treatment with a solution of phosphomolybdic acid (25 g), Ce(SO 4 ) 2. H2 O (10 g), conc. H 2 SO 4 (60 ml), and H 2 O (940 ml) followed by heating or by treatment with a solution of p-anisaldehyde (23 ml), conc. H 2 SO 4 (35 ml), acetic acid (10 ml), and ethanol (900 ml) followed by heating. Flash chromatography was performed using silica gel Merck 60 (particle size mm), 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and 31 P NMR spectra were recorded on Varian AS 400. Chemical shifts are given in δ relative to tetramethylsilane (TMS) and to external standard 85% H 3 PO 4 ( 31 P NMR), the coupling constants J are given in Hz. The spectra were recorded in CDCl 3 as solvent at room temperature, TMS served as internal standard (δ = 0 ppm) for 1 H NMR, and CDCl 3 was used as internal standard (δ = 77.0 ppm) for 13 C NMR. HPLC was carried out using a Waters 2690 Millennium with photodiode array detector. Optical rotations were recorded on a Perkin Elemer 241 Polarimeter (λ = 589 nm, 1 dm cell). High-resolution mass spectra were recorded on a Bruker MicrOTOF spectrometer. Computational study: In order to rationalize the enantioselectivity, we have performed DFTcalculations on the chiral iminium complexes as well as the phosphine addition transition states. All calculations were performed using the B3LYP functional [2] implemented in Gaussian 03. [3] [1] a) M. Marigo, T. C. Wabnitz, D. Fielenbach, K. A. Jørgensen, Angew. Chem. Int.

3 Geometries were optimized with 6-31G(d,p) basis set, and energies calculated with the more accurate basis set G(2d,2p) and corrected for zero point vibrational energies from frequency calculations, also confirming the nature of the stationary points. The effect of solvation was treated as a single point correction to the final energy obtained from polarizable continuum model, CPCM, [4] calculation with the smaller basis set on the optimized structures, specifying CHCl 3 as solvent. Typical experimental procedure for the the optimized organocatalytic AHP reactions: To a stirred solution of catalyst (20 mol%) and 2-fluorobenzoic acid (10 mol%) in CHCl 3 (1.0 ml) at 4 C, was added 0.25 mmol (1.0 equiv) of α,β-unsaturated aldehyde 1. The reaction was then flushed with Ar, and 0.3 mmol (1.2 equiv) of diphenylphosphine was added. The reaction was stirred at 4 C for the time reported in Table 2. Next, the product was oxidized or reduced in situ. Thus,1.5 equiv of I 2 in 2%H 2 O in pyridine (1.2 ml) was added. The crude mixture was purified by column chromatography to afford the pure phoshineoxide aldehydes 5. In order to determine the ee, the crude was reduced in situ by NaBH 4 in MeOH, and the crude was purifed by column chromatography to afford the corresponding phosphine alcohol derivatives 4. 4a: Colorless oil.

10 Typical experimental procedure for the direct enantioselective catalytic hydrophosphination of α,β unsaturated aldehydes and in situ oxidation to acid: To a stirred solution of catalyst (20 mol%) and 2-fluorobenzoic acid (10 mol%) in CHCl 3 (1.0 ml) at 4 C, was added 0.25 mmol (1.0 equiv) of α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. The reaction was then flushed with Ar, and 0.3 mmol (1.2 equiv) of diphenylphosphine was added. The reaction was stirred at 4 C for the time reported in Table 2. Next, isobutene (0.1 ml), tert-butanol (0.4 ml), H 2 O (0.2 ml) KH 2 PO 4 (54.4 mg, 4 mmol), and NaClO 2 (36 mg, 4mmol) were added sequentially. The reaction was allowed to reach room temperature and was stirred overnight. The crude was purified by column chromatography (pentane/ethyl Acetate mixtures) to afford the desired acid. 13c: Colorless solid.
