Mild and Catalyst‐Free Phosphination of Isocyanates with [TBA][P(SiCl3)2] for the Synthesis of Phosphinecarboxamides

Abstract

A procedure utilizing [TBA][P(SiCl3)2] as P source for the synthesis of phosphinecarboxamides is presented. The synthesis involves the reaction of [TBA][P(SiCl3)2] with isocyanates. These compounds act as highly effective reagents for the subsequent phosphination of isocyanates, leading to the formation of phosphine(triscarboxamides). This reaction proceeds swiftly under mild and straightforward conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of commercially available isocyanates.
