A bench-stable copper photocatalyst for the rapid hydrophosphination of activated and unactivated alkenes
Steven G. Dannenberg, Rory Waterman
Abstract
(1) is a highly active catalyst for the hydrophosphination of alkenes. Photocatalytic conditions are critical, and provide high conversions with unactivated substrates that have never before been reported with an air-stable catalyst or at ambient temperature. The commercial availability, ease of use, and broad substrate scope of compound 1 make hydrophosphination more available to synthetic chemists.
