Abstract

Tetra-tert-butyl-P-5-deltacyclene 5 represents one of only two asymmetric P-C cage compounds, which are available in highly enantiomerically enriched versions. This paper reports about stereoselective substitution reactions of 5 to develop the chemistry of optically active P-C cages further. Electrophilic substitution of the only secondary phosphorus atom P1 of the cage with methyl and benzyl groups was achieved with 92% and >99% de, but the yields of the reactions are limited due to competing processes. The uncatalyzed hydrophosphination reaction of a monosubstituted allene and two alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with 5 proved to be the method of choice. cis-Butanone-P-5-deltacyclene 12 is formed in 92% yield and with >99% de and cis-pentanone-P-5-deltacyclene 13a is accessible with >99% de for P1 and 92% de for the attached carbon atom at the same time. Besides stereoselectivity, the hydrophosphination reaction of 5 performs with a good regioselectivity. The chiral cage 5 controls the stereoselectivity of its reactions for the cage elements as well as for the alpha position of a substituent.
