This study introduces a novel palladium-catalyzed method for aryl phosphate amination using MorDalPhos. This efficient catalytic system works with diverse amines and functional groups, enabling broad applications in organic synthesis.
Area of Science:
- Organic Chemistry
- Catalysis
- Synthetic Methodology
Background:
- Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are crucial in organic synthesis.
- Aryl phosphates are versatile precursors, but their amination remains challenging.

- Investigated the amination of electron-rich, neutral, and electron-poor aryl phosphates.
- Tested reactions with aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic amines.
- Evaluated compatibility with common functional groups (ether, keto, ester, nitrile).
- Performed solvent-free reactions with solid coupling partners.
- Demonstrated gram-scale synthesis.
Main Results:
- Achieved the first general palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl phosphates.
- The MorDalPhos/Pd catalyst system successfully aminated diverse aryl phosphates with various amines.
- Excellent functional group tolerance was observed for ether, keto, ester, and nitrile groups.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
