A nickel/organoboron catalyzed metallaphotoredox platform for C(sp2)-P and C(sp2)-S bond construction

Herein, an organoboron photocatalyst, aminoquinolate diarylboron (AQDAB), is utilized collaboratively with a nickel catalyst in metallaphotoredox catalyzed C(sp(2))-P and C(sp(2))-S cross-coupling reactions. This strategy effectively couples aryl halides with diarylphosphine oxides and thiols at room temperature under an air atmosphere, affording the corresponding triarylphosphine oxides and thioethers in generally moderate to good yields.

Automated summary

In this study, a collaborative approach using AQDAB as an organoboron photocatalyst and nickel catalyst in metallaphotoredox catalyzed reactions has been developed to achieve efficient C(sp(2))-P and C(sp(2))-S cross-coupling. The strategy enables the coupling of aryl halides with diarylphosphine oxides and thiols at room temperature under an air atmosphere, leading to the synthesis of triarylphosphine oxides and thioethers in generally moderate to good yields.
