Application
MorDalphos serves as a versatile and efficient green catalytic system designed for facilitating the Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction involving aryl bromides or chlorides and a wide array of amines, amides, ureas, and carbamates. Originating from the innovative work of the Stradiotto group, this electron-rich, sterically hindered P,N-based ancillary ligand extends its utility to various chemical transformations. These include the Buchwald-Hartwig Amination reaction, alkyne hydroamination, and the monoarylation of compounds such as ammonia, hydrazine, and acetone. It is particularly effective in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of ammonia and hydrazine with a range of sterically challenging aryl chlorides, operating under conditions of low catalyst loading and mild temperatures. Additionally, MorDalphos is applicable in chemoselective arylation processes with diamines and proves effective in both solvent-free and aqueous environments. Moreover, as a P-N ligand, it facilitates gold-catalyzed stereoselective hydroamination of internal alkynes with dialkylamines, producing E-amines, and supports Pd-catalyzed mono-α-arylation of ketones using various substrates, including aryl chlorides, bromides, iodides, mesylates, and tosylates.
