In organic and organometallic chemistry, dialkylbiaryl phosphine (or dialkylbiarylphosphine) ligands are phosphorus-containing supporting ligands that are used to modulate the chemical reactivity of palladium and other transition metal based catalysts. They were first described by Stephen L. Buchwald in 1998 for applications in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions to form carbon-nitrogen and carbon-carbon bonds.^[1] Before their development, use of first- or second-generation phosphine ligands for palladium-catalyzed C-N bond-forming cross-coupling (e.g., tri(o-tolyl)phosphine and BINAP, respectively) necessitated harsh conditions, and the scope of the transformation was severely limited. The Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-coupling reactions were typically performed with Pd(PPh₃)₄ as catalyst and were mostly limited to aryl bromides and iodides at elevated temperatures, while the widely available aryl chlorides were unreactive. The development of new classes of ligands was needed to address these limitations.

Since this initial report, extensive work has been done by the Buchwald and Hartwig groups, among other laboratories, to develop sterically-hindered and electron-rich phosphine ligands to enable the catalysis of wide range of reactions including the Buchwald-Hartwig amination and etherification reactions, Negishi cross-coupling, and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling.^[2] In particular, Buchwald's group focused on the development of the dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands, while Hartwig's group investigated bisphosphinoferrocene and trialkylphosphine ligands. Due to the Buchwald group's discovery and extensive development of the dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands, they are also informally known as the "Buchwald ligands."^[3]

The dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands were highly successful for these applications in cross-coupling, enabling excellent scope to be realized for these transformations. Moreover, derivatives of BrettPhos (see below) are uniquely capable of achieving the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl (pseudo)halides with a variety of challenging nucleophiles, including fluoride, trifluoromethyl sources, nitrite (for nitroarene synthesis), and cyanate (for urea synthesis via isocyanates). In addition to these processes, their use has also been extended to transformations catalyzed by Au, Ag, Cu, Rh, and Ru, among other transition metals.^[4] Today, these ligands are widely used in both academia and industry.

General features

All of the Buchwald ligands are air-stable crystalline solids. Many can be bought commercially or synthesized in only a few steps from inexpensive starting materials. One pot protocols have been developed for the synthesis of these ligands and have been employed on >10 kg scales.^[5]^[6]

Their enhanced catalytic activity over other ligands in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions have been attributed to their electron-richness, steric bulk, and some special structural features. In particular, cyclohexyl, t-butyl, and adamantyl groups on the phosphorus are used for this purpose as bulky, electron-donating substituents. The lower ring of the biphenyl system, ortho to the phosphino group, is also a key structural feature. Numerous crystallographic studies have indicated that it behaves as a hemilabile ligand and is believed to play a role in stabilizing the highly reactive, formally 12-electron LPd⁽⁰⁾ intermediate during the catalytic cycle. More recently developed ligands generally utilize 2,6-substitution on the lower ring to prevent catalyst decomposition via Pd-mediated C-H activation of these positions. Extensive experimentation by the Buchwald group has shown that further minor changes to the structure of these ligands can dramatically alter their catalytic activity in cross coupling reactions with different substrates. This has led to the evolution of multiple ligands that are tailored for specific transformations.^[7] By providing a means of generating the postulated catalytically active LPd⁽⁰⁾ species under mild conditions (room temperature or lower in many cases), the development of several generations of base-activated, cyclopalladated precatalysts have further broadened the applicability of the ligands and simplified their use.^[8]^[3]

Some of the better known and commercialized dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands and their applications are described below, in rough order of their date of discovery. Their names are often derived from the first name or initial of the Buchwald group co-worker who discovered the ligand, or (in three cases) after Buchwald's cats, if the discoverer already had a ligand previously named in his/her honor.

DavePhos

DavePhos is the first reported dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligand and was initially used in mild Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions as well as Buchwald-Hartwig aminations.^[9] This ligand has additionally been used to catalyze a wide array of reactions, including the -arylation of ketones^[10] and esters,^[11] borylation of aryl chlorides,^[12] and the arylation of indoles.^[13]

Many additional modified versions of DavePhos have been synthesized. tBuDavePhos has been shown to be an even more reactive variant of DavePhos in the room temperature Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl bromides and chlorides.^[14] The biphenyl equivalent (PhDavePhos) is also available as an alternative catalyst in Suzuki-Miyaura couplings.

JohnPhos

Named after John P. Wolfe, JohnPhos was originally used in 1999 in Pd catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions with aryl bromides and chlorides.^[15] It allows hindered substrates to be reacted at room temperature with extremely low catalyst loading. Since then, this ligand has been utilized in multiple reactions including the amination of a wide range of aryl halides and triflates^[16]^[17] as well as the arylation of thiophenes.^[18]

Several modified version of this ligand including PhJohnPhos and CyJohnPhos have also been investigated for their use in Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings.

MePhos

First reported in 1999, MePhos has been shown to be an equally competent ligand in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura to that of DavePhos and JohnPhos.^[19] It can also form the active catalyst in the formation of aryl ketones.^[20] Variants of this ligand including tBuMePhos are also commercially available. Coworkers at Amgen found that the late stage Suzuki cross coupling (in route to a novel p38 MAP Kinase Inhibitor) was best catalyzed by a Pd₂(dba)₃/MePhos catalytic system. This reaction was performed on a kilogram scale and no specific palladium-removal treatment was required as the excess imidazole present in the final amide coupling step coordinated to the Pd and generated a removable byproduct.^[21]

XPhos

XPhos was first used in 2003 for the general amination and amidation of arenesulfonates and aryl halides.^[22] XPhos has also been used in the Pd catalyzed borylation of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides ^[23]

Modified versions of XPhos have also been reported. The more hindered tBuXPhos and Me4tButylXPhos has been employed in the formation of diaryl ethers.^[24] Incorporation of a sulfonate group at the 4-position allows this ligand to be used for Sonogashira couplings in aqueous biphasic solvents.^[25]

SPhos

SPhos was first reported in 2004 as an extremely competent ligand in catalyzing Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions^[26] This ligand enables the cross-coupling of heteroaryl, electron-rich and electron-poor aryl, and vinylboronic acids with a variety of aryl and heteroaryl halides under mild reaction conditions. SPhos has also been used in the Pd-catalyzed borylation of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides.^[27]

3-Sulfonate variants of this ligand (sSPhos) have been shown to catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura couplings in aqueous media.^[28] One example of the application of SPhos to academia was its use in the 8 step total synthesis of (±)-geigerin.^[29]

RuPhos

RuPhos was first reported in 2004 as part of a highly reactive catalyst system for the Pd-catalyzed Negishi coupling of organozincs with aryl halides.^[30] This ligands allows both extremely hindered substrates as well as substrates with a wide range of functional groups to undergo this reaction. This ligand has also been shown to be effective at catalyzing reactions such as the trifluoromethylation of aryl chlorides^[31] and aminations of aryl halides.^[32]

BrettPhos

BrettPhos was originally reported in 2008 for the Pd-catalyzed amination of aryl mesylates and aryl halides.^[33] This ligand helps promote the coupling of weak nucleophiles with aryl halides. Notably, this ligand is highly selective for the monoarylation of primary amines with minimal formation of the diarylated product. BrettPhos is also chemoselective for primary amines over secondary amines. Other applications of BrettPhos in catalysis include trifluoromethylation of aryl chlorides,^[34] the formation of aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides,^[35] and Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-couplings.^[36]

Several modified versions of BrettPhos are also commercially available. tBuBrettPhos has been shown to be a robust ligand in the catalytic conversion of aryl triflates and aryl bromides to aryl fluorides^[37] as well as the synthesis of aromatic nitro compounds.^[38] The extremely bulky AdBrettPhos can be used in the amidation of five-membered heterocyclic halides that contain multiple heteroatoms (such as haloimidazoles and halopyrazoles).^[39]

CPhos

CPhos has been utilized as a highly active ligand in the Pd-catalyzed Negishi Coupling of Secondary alkylzinc reagents with aryl halides.^[40]

AlPhos

AlPhos is one of the newest commercially available dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands.^[41] Reported in 2015, this ligand allows for the mild Pd-catalyzed fluorination of aryl- and heteroaryl triflates.^[42]

 Some of the better known and commercialized dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands and their applications are described below, in rough order of their date of discovery.  Their names are often derived from the first name or initial of the Buchwald group co-worker who discovered the ligand, or (in three cases) after Buchwald's cats, if the discoverer already had a ligand previously named in his/her honor.

 Coworkers at Amgen found that the late stage Suzuki cross coupling (in route to a novel p38 MAP Kinase Inhibitor) was best catalyzed by a Pd<sub>2</sub>(dba)<sub>3</sub>/MePhos catalytic system.
