Abstract—DFT quantum chemical calculations at the B3PW91/6-31G(d) level of theory have shown that the addition of secondary phosphine sulfides and phosphine selenides with alkyl, phenyl, and phenylalkyl substituents to pentyl vinyl and hexyl vinyl selenides follows a molecular mechanism against the Markovnikov rule through energetically favorable eight-membered transition state, leading to the formation of tertiary phosphine chalcogenides. Secondary phosphine selenides are more reactive than the corresponding phosphine sulfides.

DOI: 10.1134/S1070428020100048 Interest in tertiary phosphine chalcogenides is determined by prospects of using them as ligands for metal complex catalysts and precursors to pharmaceuticals; in addition, they can be used for the preparation of selenium-containing nanoparticles [1–9]. Direct addition of P–H compounds to unsaturated carbon–carbon bonds in the presence of a base and metal catalyst or radical initiator in various organic solvents underlies a traditional method of C–P bond formation. In recent years, a new efficient protocol has been proposed for hydrophosphination and hydrophosphinylation of multiple carbon–carbon bonds with phosphines or phosphine chalcogenides in the absence of a catalyst, initiator, or solvent [10]. For example, a green atom-economical synthesis of tertiary phosphine sulfides and phosphine selenides has been developed on the basis of addition of secondary phosphine sulfides and phosphine selenides to a wide range of alkenes [such as heptene, cyclohexene, styrenes, allyl alcohol, vinyl ethers, vinyl sulfides, vinyl selenides, trimethyl(vinyl)silane, vinylimidazole, and vinyl acetate] without catalyst and solvent [11, 12]. The reactions were carried out at 80–82°C for 4–44 h, and the corresponding anti-Markovnikov adducts were formed with high chemo- and regioselectivity in good

to quantitative yields [11, 12]. Diphenylphosphine sulfide proved to be the most reactive, presumably due to low energy of dissociation of the P–H bond [11]. It was presumed that the above addition reaction follows a molecular mechanism involving six- or fourmembered transition state with concerted electron pair (or single elecetron) transfer without preliminary formation of ionic or radical species [12
