Moussa, Ziad published the artcileNMR Studies and electrophilic properties of triphenylphosphine-trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride; a remarkable dehydrating reagent system for the conversion of aldoximes into nitriles, Application of 2,3-Dimethoxybenzonitrile, the main research area is oxime dehydration triphenylphosphine triflic anhydride; nitrile preparation.
NMR studies on the reaction of triphenylphosphine with various amounts of triflic anhydride at 0 °C are described. The reagent formed on mixing 1.3 equiv of Ph3P with Tf2O (1.0 mmol) was shown to be an equilibrium mixture consisting mainly of triphenyl(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)phosphonium trifluoromethanesulfinate and the corresponding bis(triphenyl)oxodiphosphonium trifluoromethanesulfinate dimer. The electrophilic properties of the system have been exploited in the development of a mild method for converting aldoximes into nitriles. The dehydration occurs at 0 °C under very mild conditions by initial activation of the oxime oxygen, followed by treatment with a base and subsequent elimination of triphenylphosphine oxide. The substrate scope and functional group tolerance of this useful method are explored.
