Chlorobenzenes are important starting materials for the preparation of commercially valuable triarylphosphines and tetraarylphosphonium salts, but their use for the direct arylation of elemental phosphorus has been elusive. Here we describe a simple photochemical route toward such products. UV-LED irradiation (365 nm) of chlorobenzenes, white phosphorus (P4) and the organic superphotoreductant tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) affords the desired arylphosphorus compounds in a single reaction step.

Detailed 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopic investigations provide deeper insight into the complex, multi-step mechanisms involved in the recently reported photocatalytic arylation of white phosphorus (P4). Specifically, these studies have identified a number of previously unrecognized side products, which arise from an unexpected non-innocent behavior of the commonly employed terminal reductant Et3N. The different rate of formation of these products explains discrepancies in the performance of the two most effective catalysts, [Ir(dtbbpy)(ppy)2][PF6] (dtbbpy=4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine) and 3DPAFIPN. Inspired by the observation of PH3 as a minor intermediate, we have developed the first catalytic procedure for the arylation of this key industrial compound. Similar to P4 arylation, this method affords valuable triarylphosphines or tetraarylphosphonium salts depending on the steric profile of the aryl substituents.

Aryl halides, ArX (Ar = Ph, 2-, 3- and 4-Tol, 1- and 2-Np, 4-C6H4CONH2; X = F, Cl, Br), rapidly and exothermically (100–180 °C, 0.5–2 h) react with red phosphorus in superbase systems KOH/L, where L is a polar nonhydroxylic complexing solvent (ligand), such as NMP, DMSO, HMPA, to afford the corresponding triarylphosphines (Ar3P) in up to 74 % yield (for X = F). Thus, three consecutive reactions of SNAr (aromatic nucleophilic substitution) to form the three C(sp2)–P bonds are realized in one pot. The synthesis is mostly chemoselective (with rare exception): neither mono- nor diphosphines have been isolated. The best results were attained when aryl fluorides were treated with red phosphorus (Pn) in the KOH/NMP superbase system. This environmentally friendly, PCl3-free synthesis of Ar3P from available starting materials opens an easy and straightforward access to triarylphosphines, which are important ligands, synthetic auxiliaries, and components of high-tech- and medicinally oriented complexes.
