General description

JohnPhos is a Buchwald′s sterically bulky biaryl phosphine ligand. It is a reactive dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligand which catalyzes the carbon-nitrogen bond-forming reactions.[1] Coordination chemistry of gold catalysts bearing JohnPhos as ligand has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy.[2]

Application

Bulky biarylphosphine ligand utilized in the palladium catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction.[3]
JohnPhos, a bulky phosphine ligand, was employed as catalyst in the following studies:
  • Hydrophenoxylation of unactivated internal alkynes.[4]
  • Microwave-mediated Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of benzylic bromides.[5]
  • Pharmaceutical synthesis of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, having potent activity against the herpes virus.[6]
  • Barluenga′s coupling of vinyl bromides with hydrazines.[6]
  • Pd-catalyzed 2,3-diarylation of α,α-disubstituted-3-thiophenemethanols, via cleavage of C-H and C-C bonds.[7]
Ligand utilized in amination of aryl halides and aryl triflates.

Catalyst for:
  • Decarboxylative cross-coupling of dialkoxybenzoic acids with diaryl disulfides or diaryl diselenides
  • Stereoselective preparation of imidazolidinones via intramolecular hydroamination of N-allylic-N-arylureas
  • Regioselective arylation of olefins with aryl chlorides
  • Cross-coupling reaction for the synthesis of polyunsaturated macrolactones
  • Regioselective O-alkylation reactions
  • Sonogashira-type cross coupling

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
