Synthesis of phosphinic acids on the basis of hypophosphites: VI. General methods for synthesis of pseudo-γ-glutamylpeptides

A general method for synthesis of 2-substituted pseudo-γ-glutamylpeptides, namely, [2-(hydroxycarbonyl)ethyl][3-amino-3-(hydroxycarbonyl)propyl]phosphinic acids I which are phosphinic acid analogs of γ-glutamylpeptides. Bis(trimethylsilyl) hypophosphite (IV) formed from ammonium hypophosphite (II) in situ was added to the respective α-substituted acrylate to form bis(trimethylsilyl) [2-R-2-(alkoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-phosphonites V. Treatment of compounds V in situ with excess dibromoethane followed by alcoholysis gave [2-R-2-(alkoxycarbonyl)ethyl](2-bromoethyl)phosphinic acids VI which without isolation were treated with excess triethyl orthoformate. The simultanious esterification and dehydrobromination led to [2-R-2-(alkoxy-carbonyl)ethyl](vinyl)phosphinates III which were isolated and characterized. The Michael addition of diethyl acetamidomalonate to vinylphosphinates III followed by acid hydrolysis of phosphinates VII without their isolation resulted in formation of target [2-R-2-(hydroxycarbonyl)ethyl][3-amino-3-(hydroxycarbonyl)]proly]phosphinic acids-pseudo-γ-glutamylpeptides I.

Alkylester und N,N-Dimethylaminoethylester unsymmetrischer Phosphinsäuren

Summary The phosphinic acid chlorides6 and9 react in good yields with N,N-dimethylaminoethanol to the corresponding esters3 and10. Reaction of the phenylphosphonous acid esters1 and2 with arylbromides, heteroarylbromides and carboxylic acid chlorides give esters of unsymmetrical phosphinic acids. Similarly, cyanphenylphosphinic acid ethylester reacts with aliphatic amines to phosphonic acid esterchlorides.

     

Phosphinothricin as a Building Unit for Oligopeptides

Abstract

Peptides with N-terminal homoalanin-4-yl (methyl)phosphinic acid (phosphinothricin, 1) can be synthesized by means of the carbodiimide method. Advantageously the carbobenzyloxy (Z-) group is used as amino protecting group, while protection of the phosphinic acid is not necessary. The key-step of this procedure is the intermediate formation of the cyclic phosphinic acid-carboxylic acid - anhydride 2, which is attacked by N-nucleophiles, such as amino acid esters, selectively at the carbonyl function. On the other hand, reaction of 2 with alcohols yields phosphinothricin-P-esters with a free carboxylic group. These compounds are valuable starting materials for further peptide syntheses.     

Synthesis of o-Carboranyl Containing Esters of Pentavalent Phosphorus Acids

Abstract

A new method for the synthesis of o-carboranyl containing phosphoric, phosphonic and phosphinic acid esters, where the o-carboranil group is in the ester group, has been developed. The propargyl esters of these acids were prapared in two ways: by the reaction of phosphorus acid salts with propargyl chlorid and by interaction of propargyl alcohol with acid chlorides in the presence of Et₃N. The propargyl esters have been converted into carboranyl containing compounds upon treatment with decaborane and dimethyl aniline     

Interaction of 2-methyl-2,5-dioxo-1,2-oxaphospholane with trimethylsilyl cyanide

The reaction of 2-methyl-2,5-dioxo-1,2-oxaphospholane (1) with trimethylsilyl cyanide was found to give, depending on conditions, three organophosphorus compounds: trimethylsilyl methyl(2-cyanocarbonylethyl)phosphinate (2), trimethylsilyl methyl(3-trimethylsiloxy-3,3-dicyanopropyl)phosphinate (3) and trimethylsilyl methyl(3-trimethyl-siloxy-3-cyano-2-propenyl)phosphinate (4), On hydrolysis of3 under mild conditions, methyl(3-hydroxy-3,3 dicarboxypropyl)phosphinic acid (7) was obtained. The latter is readily decarboxylated on heating to give methyl(3-hydroxy-3-carboxy-propyl)phosphinic acid (8). The interaction of2 and4 with water or alcohols gives, correspondingly, methyl[2-carboxy(alkoxycarbonyl) ethyl]phosphinic acids (11–13). Methyl(2-oxamoyiethyl)phosphinic acid (14) was prepared by successive treatment of propenylphosphinate4 with HCl gas and water.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 170–177, January, 1993.

New carboxyphosphonic and phosphinic acid structures of technical and biological interest

Abstract

Carboxyphosphonic and phosphinic acids have recently found applications in the diverse fields of industrial water treatment and pesticides. For example, the acids 1 and 2 are ferrous corrosion inhibitors and scale control agents for circulating industrial water systems, the amino acid 3 is a translocateable total herbicide and the naturally occurring glutamic acid analogue 4 has antibacterial, fungicidal and herbicidal properties. This paper presents a selection of our results on the synthesis of new carboxyphosphonic and phosphinic acids which led to corrosion and scale control agents and structures related to natural products, and their postulated biogenetic precursors.

Über eine Reaktion von o-Hydroxybenzylalkoholen mit Estern von Säuren des Phosphors mit der Koordinationszahl 3

Abstract

o-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol reacts with trimethyl phosphite under smooth conditions to o-hydroxyphenylmethane phosphonic acid dimethyl ester. This unusual reaction is of widest applicability. Derivatives of o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol independent of type, number or position of substituents in the ring, react with alkyl esters of phosphorous, phosphonous or phosphinous acids in an analogous process, forming the corresponding o-hydroxyphenylmethane phosphonic or phosphinic esters or phosphine oxides.     

A method of synthesis of phosphinic acids on the basis of hypophosphites: VII. Synthesis of pseudo-γ-aminobutanoyl peptides and other phosphinic analogs of γ-aminobutyric acid

A method of synthesis of pseudo-γ-aminobutanoyl peptides and other phosphinic analogs of γ-aminobutyric acid from hypophosphites is suggested. Silyl phosphonites formed by in situ addition of bis-(trimethylsilyl) hypophosphite to the corresponding α-substituted acrylates, styrene, or vinyl phosphonate used as unsaturated components in the synthesis react in situ with N-(ω-bromoalkyl)phthalimides by an Arbuzov reaction scheme, affording ω-(phthalimido)alkylphosphinic acids possessing β-substituted β-(alkoxycarbonyl)ethyl, β-phenylethyl, or β-(diethoxyphosphinoyl)ethyl substituents. Acid hydrolysis of these reaction products gives the target aminophosphinic acids: phosphinic analogs of γ-aminobutyric acid.     

Synthesis of α1-(Cbz-aminoalkyl)-α2-(hydroxyalkyl)phosphinic esters

A synthesis of α₁-(Cbz-aminoalkyl)-α₂-(hydroxyalkyl)phosphinic esters was achieved by the 1,2-addition of the appropriate aldehyde to Cbz-protected phosphinic analogues of amino acid esters in the presence of at least three equivalents of trimethylsilyl chloride and NEt₃. The complete deprotection of the product esters could be achieved in one step using 35% HBr in acetic acid.     

Reaction of N-(Benzylkoxycarbonylamino) Benzylphosphonous Acid with Ethyl Orthoformate

Abstract

Peptide containing phosphinic acids are peptidomimetics which have been successfidly employed m the design of inhibitors of protease and ligase enzymes. These stable tetrahedral phosphorus species act by mimicking the tetrahedral mtemediates of the reactions catalyzed by these two groups of enzymes. Using this concept potent transition-state analogue inhibitors of a wide variety of protenses, as well as of some tigases have been developed and studied m some detail. One of the key problems m the synthesis of these peptidomimetics is the conversion of readily available N-blocked 1 -aminoakylphosphonous acids or their esters mto corresponding phosphinic acids.     

Herbicidal Activity of Phosphonic,Phosphinic and Phosphinous Acid Analogues of Aromatic Amino Acids

Abstract

Over 40 phosphonic, phosphinic and phosphinous acid analogues of phenylglycine and phenylalanine were synthesized and screened for their herbicidal activity on Lepidium sativum (crest) and Cucumis sativus (cucumber). The most active appeared to be 2-amino-1-hydroxy-3-phenylpropylphosphonic acid which was equipotent with popular herbicide glyphosate. Also aminobenzylphosphonic acids, analogues of phenylglycine, exhibited notable herbicidal activity and thus represent a group of the most active herbicides found among simple aminophosphonic acids. Other compounds showed moderate herbicidal activity. Preliminary results indicate that analogues of aromatic amino acids display their activity as effectors of biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids.     

Novel Synthesis of Phosphinates by the Microwave-Assisted Esterification of Phosphinic Acids

1-Hydroxy-3-phospholene oxides (1 and 3) and phenyl-H-phosphinic acid (6) are converted to the corresponding phosphinic esters (2, 4, and 7, respectively) by reaction with simple alcohols on microwave irradiation. Under traditional heating conditions, the esterification does not take place, as in the cases of 1 and 3, or is highly incomplete, as in the case of 6. Steric hindrance in diphenylphosphinic acid prevents efficient microwave-assisted esterification.     

Solid supported synthesis of phosphinates via palladium (0) catalysed coupling reactions

In order to gain a broad access to phosphinic acid derivatives, a palladium catalysed coupling reaction of aryl iodides with hypophosphorous acid derivatives has been developed on the solid phase. The resulting arylphosphorous acids (or esters) were derivatised using addition reactions with aldehydes, imines and isocyanates, to give phosphinic acids (or esters) with alpha-hydroxy, alpha-amino or aminoacyl groups attached to the aryl phosphorus moiety. This approach provided a broad chemical entry into a class of polar phosphinates compounds which were rather difficult to handle using normal solution phase synthesis. The synthetic potential of this solid phase based methodology was demonstrated by the synthesis of targeted libraries against the enzyme dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS).     

The nitrosation of Amino Acids

With a view to clarifying analogies and differences between the mechanisms involved in the nitrosation of amino acids and secondary amines, we studied the kinetics of the nitrosation of five imino acids (azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid, piperidine-2-carboxylic acid, piperidine-3-carboxylic acid, and piperidine-4-carboxylic acid) and of the ethyl esters of three of them. Reaction kinetics were determined by the initial rate method, by spectrophotometric monitoring of the concentration of nitroso amino acid formed. The presence of the ? COO^? group in the amino acids opens a new mechanistic route for the nitrosation of the secondary amino group: a nitrosyl carboxylate formed initially acts as an internal nitrosating agent, resulting in intramolecular migration of ? N ? O from the carboxylate group to the secondary amino group. The observed order of the α?, β?, and γ-amino acids as regards the ease of N-nitrosation by this route is explained in terms of the relative energies of (a) the equatorial and axial orientations of the C_ring? C_carboxyl bond, and (b) the chair and boat forms of the piperidine ring. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Carboxylphosphanes and Carboxyphosphane Chalcogenides

Abstract

Low temperature reactions of organo chloro phosphanes with carboxylic acids and their salts allow the preparation of carboxyphosphanes - mixed anhydrides of carboxylic acids with phosphinic acids. These are subject to thermal rearrangement reaction of the Michaelis-Arbusov type. Molecular oxygen converts them into carboxy-phosphorane oxides. These compounds are also obtainable by reacting organochlorophosphane oxides with carboxylates. Their thermal stability is higher than that of the P(III)compounds. Analoguous reactions of P-sulfides and selenides give the corresponding thio and seleno phosphoranes with higher thermal stability. At elevated temperatures a number of rearrangement reactions occur, thus producing phosphane oxides and phosphinic acid phosphinyl alkaryl ester. The reaction products of the following reaction sequences are discusses with regard to their NMR-, IR-, MS-spectra and hydrolytic and thermal properties:     

Synthesis of optically active polynucleotide analogs with polytrimethylenimine backbones and thymine moieties

Polynucleotide analogs with polytrimethylenimine backbones and optically active 2-(thymin-1-yl)propionic acids as pendants were prepared. Linear polytrimethylenimines were obtained by ring-opening polymerization of 2-phenyl-5,6-dyhydro-4H-1,3-oxazine and subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting polymers. 2-(Thymin-1-yl)propionic acids were reacted with N-hydroxy succinimide to form active esters. Optical purities of active esters were determined by NMR with chiral chemical shift reagents. The polynucloetide analogs and related monomer and dimer model compounds were prepared by grafting reactions using active esters.     

Acidity and Complexing Properties of Several Phosphonic and Phosphinic Analogs of Valine and Homoproline

Abstract

The acidity and complexing properties of l-amino-2-methyl-propylphosphonic (I), piperidine-2-phosphonic (II, piper-idine-2-phenylphosphinic (III) and piperidine-2-methylphos-phinic (IV) acids have been investigated potentiometrically.     

Preparation of Phosphonoterephthalic Acids via Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling of Aromatic Iodoesters

The current article reports in detail the preparation of two phosphonoterephthalic acids: 2-phosphonoterephthalic acid (1) and 2,5-diphosphonoterephthalic acid (2). Efficient, scalable syntheses have been developed for both compounds based on Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions of iodinated terephthalate esters. Phosphonoterephthalic acids are potentially useful as flame-retardant additives or as monomers for the construction of acid-pendant polymer chains.
