General description
keYPhos™is an ylide-functionalized phosphine ligand developed in the lab of Prof. V. Gessner at the Ruhr-University Bochum with demonstrated uses in Pd-catalyzed cross coupling reactions, including the arylation of ketones and arylation of amines. keYPhos™ is part of the YPhos™ family of ligands, also containing the joYPhos™ and trYPhos™ ligands.
Application
The electron-rich and sterically demanding keYPhos™ has a methyl group in the ylide-backbone and is a valuable ligand for the palladium catalyzed coupling of aryl chlorides with primary and secondary alkyl and aryl amines at room temperature. keYPhos™has been used in the gold(I)-catalyzed hydroamination of acetylene, and has shown to be effective in a range of Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions. The strong electron-donor strength and sterically demanding nature of the ligand has been shown to increase the rate of formation of the catalytically active mono-phosphine palladium species, often leading to decreased reaction times or allowing the use of lower reaction temperatures.

Features and Benefits
Advantages of the keYPhos™ligand over less electron rich ligand sources include, increased substrate scope in Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions, including aryl chlorides, the use of more mild reaction conditions and improved activity in in C-N and C-C cross coupling reactions. keYPhos™ has been shown to perform well with common palladium sources such as Pd2(dba)3, Pd(OAc)2, [Pd(allyl)Cl]2 or [Pd(cinamyl)Cl]2.

Ylide-functionalized phosphine (YPhos) ligands allow the palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of alkyl ketones with aryl chlorides with record setting activity. Using a cyclohexyl-substituted YPhos ligand, a wide range of challenging ketone substrates was efficiently and selectively monoarylated under mild conditions. A newly
