Abstract

A new strategy to prepare tetradentate or pentadentate diphenylphosphine ligands has been explored from Diels–Alder adducts of fulvenes and maleic anhydride. A tetradentate phosphine ligand, bearing a side chain allowing the formation of a bond with polystyrene resin, has been prepared in seven steps from cyclopentadiene. The cis,cis,cis-1-cyclohexylidene-2,3,4,5-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane (Cyclo-Tedicyp) in combination with [PdCl(C3H5)]2 led to an efficient catalyst for the Heck, Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling reactions.
