1 Introduction

Aromatic organophosphorus compounds are prevalent in various fields, such as natural products, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and synthetic intermediates.[1] Given their significant role, the synthesis of phosphorus-con- taining compounds, particularly those involving the formation of C(sp2)—P bonds, has been a key focus in ongoing chemical research.[2] Recently, the introduction of phosphorus-centered radicals to unsaturated systems has emerged as a dependable method for synthesizing alkenyl- phosphorus compounds.[3] The use of transition metals and stoichiometric oxidants,[4] as well as the incorporation of photoredox catalysis methods,[5] has demonstrated the ability to initiate the formation of phosphorus radicals from arylphosphine oxides (Scheme 1a). Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these techniques has been constrained by the utilization of metal salts, stoichiometric chemical redox agents, and occasionally stringent reaction conditions. To address these concerns, there is an ongoing and strong demand for the development of straightforward and environmentally friendly techniques for synthesizing organophosphorus compounds with C(sp2)—P bonds.
Scheme 1 Strategies for the synthesis of alkenylphosphorus compounds
Electrochemistry has been widely recognized as an efficient and eco-friendly synthetic strategy that avoids the use of stoichiometric amounts of chemical oxidants or reductants, making it highly attractive for discovering novel chemical transformations.[6] This approach provides a unique platform for generating reactive radical intermediates, which are critical in various synthetic processes. In this scenario, electrochemical phosphorylation has emer- ged as an adjunctive strategy, which involves the directly or indirectly transferring electrons between arylphosphine oxides and electrodes to enable the C(sp2)—P bond formation.[7] Electrocatalytic phosphorus radical-initiated phosphorylation of quinoxaline-2(1H)-ones,[8] alkynes,[9] and aldehyde hydrazones,[10] has been developed for the synthesis of alkenylphosphorus compounds through radical coupling under mild reaction conditions (Scheme 1b). While electrocatalytic phosphorylation of alkenes and alkynes provides efficient access to alkenyl phosphorus compounds,[7-10] the electrochemical radical dienylation for constructing C(sp2)—P bonds remains a formidable challenge. Unlike well-defined alkenes or alkynes, allenes present multiple competing pathways for phosphoryl radical attack,[11] making regiocontrol particularly difficult. More- over, the reactive vinyl radical intermediate tends to undergo side reactions or overoxidation, leading to allylic phosphorylation byproducts instead of the desired dienylation. An electrochemical dienylation strategy of arylphos- phine oxides with allenylsilanes that overcomes these cha- llenges is reported. Our system achieves excellent regioselectivity toward 1,3-dienylphosphine oxides by leveraging the unique reactivity of allenylsilanes, where the silyl group simultaneously guides regiocontrol and facilitates a sequential oxidation/desilylation process, ensuring a clean and efficient pathway to the coveted diene system under mild electrochemical conditions (Scheme 1c).

2 Results and discussion

Initially, diphenylphosphine oxide (1a) and trimethyl- (2-phenylpenta-2,3-dien-1-yl)silane (2a) were chosen as the model substrates for the evaluation of electrolysis conditions in the radical dienylation reaction (Table 1). The electrolysis employed an undivided cell equipped with a Pt anode and a Pt cathode and was conducted in DCM/ MeCN (VV=1∶2) with NEt3 as a basic additive and nBu4NBF4 as the electrolyte, and the desired product 3a was obtained in 36% yield (Entry 1). A survey of mixed solvents was evaluated, and provided no improvements in the results (Entries 2~4). The influence of base on the reaction was further examined (Entries 5~9), and K3PO4 was the most efficient one in terms of current efficiency (Entry 8). In particular, when 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) was introduced as a solvent and the proportion of mixed solvents was fine-tuned (Entries 10 and 11), the yield was further improved to 75% (Entry 11). Control experiments revealed that only a trace amount of the desired product was detected in the absence of base (Entry 12). Additionally, the target product was undetectable either in the absence of electricity (Entry 13) or in the absence of Cp2Fe (Entry 14). When this reaction was performed in air, the efficiency was significantly affected (Entry 15).

Under the optimized reaction conditions, the substrate scope of allenylsilanes was first examined. As shown in Table 2, allenylsilanes bearing different alkyl groups (R1=methyl, benzyl, propyl, and phenethyl) underwent radical dienylation reactions smoothly to produce the corresponding products in high yields (3a~3d). The alteration of R1 from an alkyl to a phenyl group was also tolerated, furnishing the expected adduct 3e in high efficiency. Allenylsilanes with a meta-substituted phenyl group participated well in the reaction, yielding the desired products 3f and 3g. Remarkably, trimethyl(2-phenylbuta-2,3-dien-1-yl)si- lane proved to be an excellent reaction counterpart, efficiently yielding compound 3h with a terminal diene structure in a 72% yield. The allenylsilane bearing a thiophene group was transformed smoothly to the corresponding diphenylphosphine oxide 3i. Moreover, a wide range of methyl substituted allenylsilanes 2 (R1=Me) with different aryl groups (R2), could be well tolerated, and good chemical yields were observed in all cases (3j~3q). The allenylsilane substrate bearing dialkyl substituents was also well tolerated, affording the corresponding product 3r in good yield.

a Reaction conditions: Pt anode, Pt cathode, 1a (0.1 mmol), 2 (0.2 mmol), Cp2Fe (10 mol%), nBu4NBF4 (0.15 mmol), K3PO4 (0.2 mmol), and DCM/TFE (2.0 mL/1.0 mL) at a constant current of 1.0 mA at 25 ℃ under Ar for 12 h.

Next, the compatibility of various substituted phosphorus coupling partners with trimethyl-(2-phenylpenta-2,3- dien-1-yl)silane (2a) was investigated in the electrochemical phosphorylation approach (Table 3). A diverse array of diphenylphosphine oxides with either electron-withdraw- ing or electron-donating substituents at the para-position of the benzene ring, such as methyl, methoxyl, chloro, bromo, and phenyl groups, were all tolerated in the electrochemical reaction, and the desired products were furnished in good yields (3s~3w). The alternation of ortho- and meta-substituents was also tolerated in the dienylation reaction of allenylsilanes, leading to alkenylphosphorus compounds 3x~3z with great efficiency. It is worth noting that disubstituted substrates also proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding products 3aa, 3ab, and 3ac in great yields.

a Reaction conditions: Pt anode, Pt cathode, 1 (0.1 mmol), 2a (0.2 mmol), Cp2Fe (10 mol%), nBu4NBF4 (0.15 mmol), K3PO4 (0.2 mmol), and DCM/TFE (2.0 mL/1.0 mL) at a constant current of 1.0 mA at 25 ℃ under Ar for 12 h.

To verify the practical feasibility of this electrochemical process, the present dienylation reaction was conducted on a large scale. As shown in Scheme 2a, the reaction was carried out on a 3.0 mmol scale and afforded product 3a in 65% yield after constant electrolysis. The moderate yield on this scale is attributed to the inherent instability of the allenylsilane substrate over the extended reaction time and the formation of by-products through competing pathways. The phosphine-modified products containing contiguous double bonds, providing a gateway to structurally diverse molecules through subsequent synthetic transformations (Scheme 2b). Upon subjecting compound 3a to hydrogenation conditions with Pd/C, product 4 was obtained in 85% yield, characterized by a partially reduced double bond. The diene 3a underwent hydroboration-oxidation process and led to the formation of alcohol 5 in 65% yield.
Scheme 2 Synthetic investigation
To get insight into the mechanism, some control experiments were carried out (Figure 1). To investigate whether radical intermediates were involved in the phosphorylation process, the control reaction using 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1- piperidinyloxy (TEMPO, 6) as the radical tracking agent was carried out under the standard conditions (Figure 1a). The formation of 3a was completely suppressed, and only the radical coupling product 7 was detected. Subsequently, the on-off switching experiment revealed that in the absence of an electrical current supply, no product was produced (Figure 1b). Based on these results, a mechanism was proposed for the phosphinoylation reaction (Figure 1c). Based on the above studies and previous reports,[11-12] a possible mechanism for the electrochemical dienylation reaction was proposed. Arylphosphine oxide 1 is deprotonated to afford anion I. The ferrocenium ion (Cp2Fe⁺), electrogenerated at the anode, serves as an effective redox shuttle that mediates the single-electron oxidation of I, thereby efficiently delivering the key phosphoryl radical II.[11b] The resulting phosphoryl radical II then adds to the allene moiety of allenylsilane 2, affording radical intermediate III, which subsequently undergoes a second single electron transfer (SET) oxidation and desilylation to furnish the final dienylation product 3.

3 Conclusions

In summary, an electrochemically driven dienylation reaction of arylphosphine oxides with allenylsilanes has been developed. A wide range of dienyl organophosphorus compounds with broad functional group tolerance were facilely obtained in moderate to great yield. Importantly, this protocol could be easily conducted on a large-scale reaction. Mechanistic studies suggest that the desired C(sp2)—P bond is constructed through the radical addition process between the phosphoryl radical and the allene carbon. Further investigations of the electrochemical radical process are ongoing in our laboratory.

4.3 Procedure for the synthesis of 4 and 5

In an oven-dried 10.0 mL reaction tube equipped with a stir bar, 3a (0.1 mmol, 1 equiv.) and Pd/C (0.05 mmol, 0.5 equiv.) were added at 25 ℃. The mixture was stirred in MeOH (2.0 mL) under a hydrogen atmosphere. Subsequently, the reaction solution was monitored by TLC. The resulting solution was diluted with dichloromethane, filtered through a plug of Celite, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to yield (E)-diphenyl (4- phenylpent-2-en-3-yl)phosphine oxide (4), colorless oil (29.5 mg, 85% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.77~7.65 (m, 4H), 7.55~7.44 (m, 4H), 7.42~7.37 (m, 2H), 7.34~7.31 (m, 2H), 7.29~7.08 (m, 3H), 6.13~6.02 (m, 1H), 4.23~4.13 (m, 1H), 1.64 (dd, J=7.0, 3.0 Hz, 3H), 1.53 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 3H); 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 143.9 (d, J=4.3 Hz), 142.6 (d, J=12.6 Hz), 139.6 (d, J=96.2 Hz), 132.7 (d, J=89.0 Hz), 131.6 (d, J=12.8 Hz), 128.5 (d, J=28.5 Hz), 128.4 (d, J=4.8 Hz), 128.1, 127.9 (d, J=35.3 Hz), 125.8, 37.7 (d, J=11.0 Hz), 19.1, 15.9 (d, J=17.6 Hz); 31P NMR (162 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 34.07; HRMS (ESI) calcd for C23H23NaOP [M+Na] 369.1379, found 369.1381.
In an oven-dried 10.0 mL reaction tube equipped with a stir bar, 3a (0.2 mmol, 1 equiv.) and BH3/THF (1 mol/L in THF, 1.0 mL, 1.0 mmol, 5 equiv.) were added at 25 ℃. The mixture was stirred in THF (2.0 mL) under an argon atmosphere. The reaction solution was monitored by TLC until complete consumption of the starting material. Subsequently, hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution (0.3 mol/L, 6 mL×3) and 10% sodium hydroxide were added. After complete consumption of the starting material, THF was removed in vacuo and the aqueous layer extracted with DCM. The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, dried with Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to yield (E)-(1- hydroxy-2-phenylpent-2-en-3-yl)diphenylphosphine oxide (5), colorless oil (47 mg, 65% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.80~7.70 (m, 4H), 7.60~7.54 (m, 2H), 7.51~7.46 (m, 4H), 7.42~7.35 (m, 2H), 7.34~7.28 (m, 3H), 4.37 (s, 2H), 2.08~1.91 (m, 2H), 0.43 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 3H); 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 160.4 (d, J=7.8 Hz), 142.1 (d, J=15.5 Hz), 133.9 (d, J=88.4 Hz), 132.8 (d, J=102.4 Hz), 132.3 (d, J=2.9 Hz), 132.1 (d, J=9.9 Hz), 131.1 (d, J=8.4 Hz), 128.8, 128.6 (d, J=1.8 Hz), 127.3 (d, J=55.8 Hz), 65.6 (d, J=8.4 Hz), 25.3 (d, J=13.3 Hz), 14.1; 31P NMR (162 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 33.96; HRMS (ESI) calcd for C23H23NaO2P [M+Na] 385.1328, found 385.1333.
