Synthesis and Crystal Structure Study of Diethyl Aryl(benzo[d]thiazol‐2‐ylamino)methyl Phosphonates

A three‐component synthesis of α‐aminophosphonate is described from a reaction between aldehydes, 2‐aminobenzothiazole, and triethyl phosphite in the presence of InCl₃ as a catalyst under solvent‐free conditions for the generation of the particular α‐aminophosphonates. These products have two potentially biologically active parts, aminophosphonate and benzothiazole. This method offers advantages such as short reaction times, good yields, solvent‐free conditions, and easy workup with the green aspects by avoiding toxic catalysts and solvents. The crystal structure of 4b has been determined by X‐ray crystallography. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with cell parameters a = 21.9285(5) Å, b = 10.3221(2) Å, c = 18.5979(5) Å, β = 108.759(3)°, V = 3985.99(18) ų, D_calc = 1.301 mg m⁻³, and Z = 8. The final R value is 0.0501 for 3741 reflections. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 24:58–65, 2013; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com . DOI 10.1002/hc.21063     

Dynamic 1H NMR Study of Aryl-Nitrogen Single Bond and Carbon-Carbon Double Bond Rotational Energy Barriers in Two Highly Functionalized Pyranopyrimidines

Summary.  The reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate was trapped by N,N′ -dimethylbarbituric acid to yield the isomeric products dimethyl 7-(2,6-dimethylphenylamino)-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-4H-pyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidine-5,6-dicarboxylate and dimethyl (E)-2-((2,6-dimethylphenylamino)-(1,3-dimethyl-2,4,6-trioxo-pyrimidine-5-ylidene)-methyl)-but-2-enedioate in a nearly 1:1 ratio and an overall yield of 85%. Dynamic effects were observed in the ¹H NMR spectra of these compounds and were attributed to restricted rotation around the aryl-nitrogen single bonds and the polarized carbon-carbon double bond.

An Efficient Synthesis of Stable Phosphorus Ylides Derived from Triphenylphosphine,Dialkyl Acetylenedicarboxylates,and an NH-Acid

Stable crystalline phosphorus ylides were obtained in excellent yields from the 1:1:1 addition reaction between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of strong NH-acids, such as benzotriazole, 5-methylbenzotriazole, 5-chlorobenzotriazole, pyrrole, 2-acetylpyrrole, pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, 4-nitro-acetanilide, 4-methoxyacetanilide, 4-bromoacetanilide, 4-methylacetanilide, 2-methyl-acetanilide, and 2,6-dimethylacetanilide. These stable ylides exist in a solution as a mixture of two geometrical isomers as a result of the restricted rotation around the carbon–carbon partial double bond resulting from the conjugation of the ylide moiety with the adjacent carbonyl group.     

Diastereoselective synthesis of chloro‐ and fluoro‐aniline containing phosphonate esters in a three‐component condensation

New phosphonate ester derivatives were obtained by in situ stereo‐specific reaction between triphenyl phosphite and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of a series of halogenated anilines. Spectroscopic data and X‐ray crystallography analysis are in agreement with the gauche arrangement for the two vicinal protons in the structures. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Solvent Effects on the Chemoselectivity of Stable Phosphorus Ylides Involving a Sulfonamide

Hydrazine sulfonamide derivatives undergo a smooth reaction with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of triphenylphosphine in varieties of solvent for generation of phosphorus ylides in a chemoselective manner.
