Abstract
Synthesis of the new bulky phosphine ligand di(1-adamantyl)-2-trifluoromethyphenylphosphine is reported, which coordinates with the trifluoromethyl group projected toward the metal center and exhibits a %Vbur of 47.3%. Well-defined gold(I) derivatives demonstrate higher catalytic activity for the cycloisomerization of 4-fluoro-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)benzamide than di(1-adamantyl)-2-biphenylphosphine (AdJohnPhos) and di(1-adamantyl)phenylphosphine analogues.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
