Abstract
Di(tert-butyl)neopentylphosphine (DTBNpP) in combination with palladium sources provided catalysts with comparable or better activity for the Hartwig-Buchwald amination of aryl bromides than tri(tert-butyl)phosphine (TTBP) under mild conditions. DTBNpP also provided effective catalysts for amination reactions of aryl chlorides at elevated temperatures. Further replacement of tert-butyl groups with neopentyl substituents resulted in less effective ligands for amination reactions. Computationally derived cone angles showed that replacement of a tert-butyl group with a neopentyl group significantly increased the cone angle of the phosphine. The larger cone angle of DTBNpP than TTBP appears to correlate with the higher activity of catalysts derived from DTBNpP in the amination of aryl bromides. TTBP is a stronger electron donor than DTBNpP, which may explain the higher activity for TTBP-derived catalysts toward aryl chlorides.
