Metallomimetic Chemistry of a Cationic, Geometrically Constrained Phosphine in the Catalytic Hydrodefluorination and Amination of Ar-F Bonds.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis, isolation, and reactivity of a cationic, geometrically constrained σ³-P compound in the hexaphenyl-carbodiphosphoranyl-based pincer-type ligand (1⁺) are reported. 1⁺ reacts with electron-poor fluoroarenes via an oxidative addition-type reaction of the C-F bond to the P^III-center, yielding new fluorophosphorane-type species (P^V). This reactivity of 1⁺ was used in the catalytic hydrodefluorination of Ar-F bonds with PhSiH₃, and in a catalytic C-N bond-forming cross-coupling reactions between fluoroarenes and aminosilanes. Importantly, 1⁺ in these catalytic reactions closely mimics the mode of action of the transition metal-based cataly
