Advances in Organophosphorus Redox Catalysis
Wei Cai, You Huang
Abstract
Organophosphorus reagents play very important role in organic synthesis. The development of Wittig reaction, Staudinger reaction, Appel reaction and Mitsunobu reaction mediated by phosphine compounds is of great significance in scientific research and industrial production. In recent decades, the research on the design of P(III)/P(V) redox catalysis and catalysts to realize the catalytic mode of these reactions, and avoiding the production of stoichiometric R3PO has developed rapidly. This review introduces the research progress of the catalytic process of each reaction in turn. The future research direction in this field about the reactions involving stoichiometric R3PO is prospected.
