Phospholes have been receiving increasing interest as a class of compounds. They possess a planar five-membered heterocyclic framework that has the heavy Group15 element incorporated in a markedly nonplanar coordination geometry. Consequently, in contrast to the other first-row five-membered heteroarenes, the phospholes are only weakly aromatic.[1] There are far fewer established synthetic pathways to phospholes compared to their first-row-element relatives. The classical elimination pathway described by Mathey et al.[2] has been augmented by some Group4 metallocene alkyne coupling/phosphorylation pathways and related syntheses.[3] Nevertheless, the phosphole framework is increasingly being used, for example, in materials science,[4] especially in conjunction with boron-based acceptor substituents in conjugation with the P donor.[5] Also rigid conjugated zwitterionic phosphonium/borate frameworks have recently been studied and found considerable interest.[6] We have now found a new very simple synthesis that directly makes 3-boryl substituted phospholes available from suitable bis-(alkynyl) phosphanes in a one-pot reaction. Several representative examples are described and characterized herein and their synthetic utilization explored. We have recently shown that bis (alkynyl) silanes 1 undergo a special variant of the “Wrackmeyer 1, 1-carboboration reaction” sequence [7] under very mild reaction conditions upon treatment with the strong Lewis acid tris (pentafluorophenyl) borane (2) to give the respective borylsiloles 3.[8, 9] The reaction probably involves a sequence as depicted in Scheme1, involving a typical series of 1, 1-carboboration reactions of activated alkynes.[10] The arylbis (alkynyl) phosphanes 5a–c were prepared by treatment of the (tipp) PX2 compounds 4 (X= Cl, Br; tipp= 2, 4, 6-triisopropylphenyl) with the respective alkynyl lithium reagents LiC CR (R= SiMe3 (a), nC 3H7 (b), Ph (c)). The mesitylP (C C-SiMe3) 2 starting material 6a was prepared analogously. The bis (alkynyl) phosphane 5a was treated with one equivalent of B (C6F5) 3 in toluene solution at 708C (2 h) to give the phosphole 7a in 79% yield (Scheme 2). Compound7a shows the typical broad 11B NMR resonance of a trivalent RB (C6F5) 2 boron Lewis acid at d= 63 ppm, a 31P NMR signal at d= 59.1 ppm and a pair of 29Si NMR resonances at d= À7. 8 and À8. 2ppm. The X-ray crystal-structure analysis of 7a (Figure1) shows the planar central five-membered ring. Typically, the phosphorus–carbon distances P1ÀC1 and P1À C4 inside the weakly aromatic heterocycle are markedly shorter than the exocyclic PÀC (aryl) bond (Table 1), but the coordination geometry at phosphorus is markedly nonplanar. The coordination plane of the trigonal-planar boron moiety is rotated markedly from the central ring plane (dihedral angle C1-C2-B1-C51: À52. 0 (6) 8).
