01 /Applications

Preparation of Substituted Silanes and Alcohols

Allyldiphenylphosphine oxide is employed as a reactant in the preparation of α-substituted alkylsilanes through regio- and chemoselective copper-catalyzed silylzincation and electrophilic substitution from terminal alkenes. Subsequently, these silanes can be converted to α-substituted alcohols via Fleming-Tamao oxidation.

Catalytic Olefin Isomerization

This compound participates in olefin isomerization reactions, particularly when supported by Grubbs' catalysts immobilized within a hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. It also facilitates the isomerization of allyl groups to propenyl groups in the presence of a second-generation Grubbs Ru catalyst.

Diels-Alder Reactions

Allyldiphenylphosphine oxide is utilized in diastereotopic group-selective intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions, leading to the synthesis of complex cyclic structures such as C9-substituted trans-hydrindene.

Olefin Cross-Metathesis

It serves as a substrate in Ruthenium-catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis reactions with vinyl and allyl phosphine oxides to yield alkenyl phosphine oxides and bis-phosphine oxides.
