Popis: Catalytic hydrophosphination using [κ5-N,N,N,N,C-(Me3SiNCH2CH2)2NCH2CH2NSiMe2CH2]Zr (1) under photolysis substantially enhances activity and avails greater substrate scope. Quantitative conversions of alkenes to secondary phosphines are reached in as little as 20 min at ambient temperature with 1 under ultraviolet or visible irradiation. A larger class of unactivated alkenes are now facile substrates under photolysis conditions, and 1 can engage in a previously unknown tandem inter/intramolecular hydrophosphination of 1,4-pentadiene to give the heterocyclic phosphorinane product. Computational and spectroscopic data indicate that photoexcitation of 1 at a variety of wavelengths results in P n → Zr d charge transfer. This excitation appears to accelerate catalysis by promoting substrate insertion at the Zr–P bond based on experimental observations.
