General description

trYPhos is an ylide-functionalized phosphine ligand developed in the lab of Prof. V. Gessner with demonstrated uses in Pd-catalyzed cross coupling reactions, including the arylation of ketones and arylation of amines. trYPhosis the strongest donor of the available YPhos ligands, and is suited towards the most challenging alpha-arylation reactions.

Application

The electron-rich and sterically demanding trYPhos ligand has been used in the gold(I)-catalyzed hydroamination of acetylene, and has shown to be effective in a range of Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions. The strong electron-donor strength and sterically demanding nature of the ligand has been shown to increase the rate of formation of the catalytically active mono-phosphine palladium species, often leading to decreased reaction times or allowing the use of lower reaction temperatures. trYPhos is the most strongest donor of the available YPhosligands and has been found to be effective alpha-arylation of aliphatic cyclic ketones.

Features and Benefits

Advantages of the trYPhos ligand over less electron rich ligand sources include, increased substrate scope in Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions, including aryl chlorides, the use of more mild reaction conditions and improved activity in in C-N and C-C cross coupling reactions. The increased electron donor stregth of trYPhos has been shown to be effective in the challenging alpha-arylation of aliphatic ketones.

Ylide-functionalized phosphine ligands (YPhos) were rationally designed to fit the requirements of Buchwald-Hartwig aminations at room temperature. This ligand class combines a strong electron-donating ability comparable to NHC ligands with high steric demand similar to biaryl phosphines. The active Pd
