The Synthesis of Novel Tertiary Phosphines
Conference Year
2024
Abstract
Hydrophosphination provides an atom-economical way to create selective phosphorous– carbon bonds while being mindful that phosphorous is a limited resource. The purpose of this research is to expand the substrate scope of hydrophosphination to probe catalysis using sustainable research processes. By altering the group on a para-substituted phosphine a trend how the electronics of the phosphine affect catalysis can be reported.
