Abstract

Disclosed is a process for producing a phosphine derivative from a phosphine oxide derivative, which comprises the following steps: (I) mixing a phosphine oxide derivative represented by formula (1) with a chlorinating agent in a polar organic solvent to cause the reaction between these components; and (II-1) adding a salt of a metal having an ionization tendency equal to or lower than that of aluminum to the reaction mixture and carrying out the reductive reaction in the presence of aluminum or (II-2) subjecting the reaction mixture to electrolytic reduction, thereby producing a phosphine derivative represented by formula (2). Ar n R 3-n P═O (1) Ar n R 3-n P (2) In formulae (1) and (2), Ar represents an aryl group such as a phenyl group, a phenyl group having a substituent, a heteroaromatic ring group, and a heteroaromatic ring group having a substituent; R represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a substituent; and n represents an integer of 0 to 3.

Claims (29)

1. A method for producing Ar n R 3-n P from Ar n R 3-n P═O, comprising:

(I) mixing the Ar n R 3-n P═O with a chlorinating agent in a polar organic solvent, to cause a reaction; and

(II-1) adding a salt of a metal having an ionization tendency equal to or lower than that of aluminum to the reaction mixture, to carry out a reduction reaction in the presence of aluminum, or (II-2) subjecting the reaction mixture to electrolytic reduction,

and thereby producing the Ar n R 3-n P;

wherein Ar represents an aryl group; R represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a substituent; and n represents an integer of 0 to 3.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar n R 3-n P is produced by the reduction reaction in (II-1), and when adding the salt of a metal having an ionization tendency equal to or lower than that of aluminum, aluminum is also added to the reaction mixture.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar n R 3-n P is produced by the reduction reaction in (II-1), and when mixing the Ar n R 3-n P═O with the chlorinating agent in the polar organic solvent, aluminum is also mixed.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the chlorinating agent is any one of oxalyl chloride, phosgene, diphosgene, and thionyl chloride.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar n R 3-n P═O is used in an amount of 5 to 50% by mass of the polar organic solvent.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar n R 3-n P is produced by the reduction reaction in (II-1), and aluminum is used in an amount of 0.66 to 5 mol based on 1 mol of the Ar n R 3-n P═O.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar n R 3-n P is produced by the reduction reaction in (II-1), and the salt of a metal is a salt of a metal having an ionization tendency equal to or lower than that of tin.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar n R 3-n P is produced by the reduction reaction in (II-1), and a chloride, a bromide, an iodide, a perchlorate, a sulfate, or a nitrate of a metal from groups 4 to 15 of the periodic table is used as the salt of a metal having an ionization tendency equal to or lower than that of aluminum.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar n R 3-n P is produced by the reduction reaction in (II-1), and the salt of a metal is a chloride or bromide of a metal having an ionization tendency equal to or lower than that of tin.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar n R 3-n P is produced by the reduction reaction in (II-1), and the salt of a metal having an ionization tendency equal to or lower than that of aluminum is used in an amount of 0.0001 to 1 mol based on 1 mol of aluminum.
