Synthesis of 3-Ethoxy-2-Oxo-3-Phenyl-1,2-Oxaphosphorinane-3,5-Diene

Abstract

In view of the limited number of examples of 2-oxo-l,2-oxaphosphorinane3,5diene derivatives^1,2, we investigated the preparation of the title compound and derivatives of the same. Of additional interest were the spectroscopic propertits of this class of compounds, their stability, and the outcome of their reaction with nucleophilts. Prior work in our laboratory on the synthesis of simple phostones and their derivatives³, led us to use these as starting mataials. The presence of the phenyl substituent in la, (cis and trans isomers) permitted facile introduction of a bromo group through free radical bromination with NBS/AIBN to give 2a,b in 79% overall yield. The individual isomers of 2 were separated; tentative stereochemical assignments were made using NMR spectroscopy. Treatmnt of 2 with LiCl/DMF gave 3; the trans isomer (phenyl and OEt trans) 2b reacted much faster than the cis isomer. Treatmnt of 3 with NBS/AIBN gave 4a,b and 5 which were separated by flash chromatography. Dehydrobromination of 4 (71% yield) was achieved by heating with an excess of Et₃N in toluenc at 95°C to produce 6; likewise, dehydrobromination of 5 at 70°C gave 7.     

Conformational analysis—XXI : H NMR Conformational Study of Alkyl-Substituted 2-Oxo-1,3,2-Dioxathianes

2-Oxo-1,3,2-dioxathiane and all methyl- and several alkyl-substituted 2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxathianes were prepared for a ¹H NMR conformational study. The conformational energy of the axial SO group in CCl₄, - ΔG^θ_SO = 14.8±0.3kJ mol^?1, was determined by chemical equilibration of the epimeric cis-4,6-dimethyl derivatives and it was found to decrease with the increasing solvent polarity. The conformational equilibria of alkyl-substituted derivatives were solved and the proportions of the conformers estimated using ¹H NMR chemical shifts, vicinal coupling constants and in three cases also dipole moments. The configurational interactions in the C₄C₅C₆ moiety are close to the corresponding values of 1,3-dioxanes.     

Exotic Amino Acids. 6. Synthesis of Substituted 4-Oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines

2-Pyridylaminomethyleneisopropylidenemalonates, prepared from ethoxymethyleneisopropylidenemalonate and 2-aminopyridines, form 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines at their melting points and are separated from the reaction mixture by sublimation.     

Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Flavan-3-Ols

Flavan-3-ols are a series of natural products widely present in plants and show versatile biological activities. The structures of such compounds are characterized by owing two adjacent chiral centers and three rings. Their interesting structures and promising biological activities have driven increasing research developments toward the preparation of enantioenriched flavan-3-ols. This review summarizes the recent approaches for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral flavan-3-ols from two strategies in the construction of chiral centers. The key steps in the synthetic protocol involve Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, Shi asymmetric epoxidation and Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation.     

Conformational analysis of 7-membered dimethyl cyclic sulphites: 2-Oxo-1,3,2-dioxathiepanes and 3-oxo-2,4,3-dioxathiepins

2-Oxo-1,3,2-dioxathiepanes and 3-oxo-2,4,3-dioxathiepins, including two series of three diastereoisomers, were synthesized, isolated by HPLC and characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Their conformational behaviour was studied using a computer-assisted LIS technique and, for c-4, t-7-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxathiepane, a 400 MHz spectral analysis. Single twist-chair conformations or an equilibrium between them are the most stable in the dioxathiepane series while chair or twist-boat forms, or both in equilibrium, are favoured in the dioxathiepin series. Conformations and equilibria are detailed, with and without LSR, taking into account ¹H coupling constants and IR S?O stretching frequencies as conformational probes.

3-Oxo-1,2-benzoisothiazoline-2-acetic acid 1,1-dioxide derivatives. I. Reaction of esters with alkoxides

Reaction of 3-oxo-1,2-benzoisothiazoline-2-acetic acid alkyl esters 1,1-dioxide ( 1a-d ) with alkaline alkoxides was carried out under various conditions. Under mild conditions, o-(N-carboxymethylsulfamyl)benzoic acids dialkyl esters ( 2a-d ) were obtained with good yields. Reaction of 1a-d or 2a-d with sodium alkoxides under drastic conditions afforded 4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid alkyl esters 1,1-dioxide ( 3a-d ). Transesterification was observed when esters 1b-d were treated with sodium methoxide in methanol. Esters 3a-d were hydrolyzed in concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide affording the acid 6 . Attempts to recrystallize 6 from water resulted in its decarboxylation to give 2H-1,2-benzothiazine-4-(3H)one 1,1-dioxide (7). Compound 6 could not be obtained by acid hydrolysis of esters 3a-d or by rearrangement of 3-oxo-1,2-benzoisothiazoline-2-acetic acid 1,1-dioxide ( 8 ). Different experimental evidence supports the suggestion that rearrangement took place by ethanolysis of the carboxamide linkage affording the open sulfonamides (fast step) followed by a Dieckmann cyclization (slow step). It was demonstrated that transesterification took place in the open sulfonamides 2 .     

3-Oxo-1,2-benzoisothiazoline-2-acetic acid 1,1-dioxide derivatives. II. Reaction of amides with alkoxides

Reaction of some 3-oxo-1,2-benzoisothiazoline-2-acetamide 1,1-dioxides ( 1a-f ) with alkaline alkoxides was carried out under various conditions. Under mild conditions, 1a-f with sodium methoxide gave o-(N-carbox-amidomethylsulfamyl)benzoic acid methyl esters ( 2a-f, R = CH3 ). Compounds 1a or 2a reacted with sodium alkoxides under drastic conditions affording only ester 5 . Under the same conditions, 1b-d or 2b-d gave 4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide 1,1-dioxides ( 3b-d ), while 1e-f or 2e-f afforded the acid 6 in variable amounts, together with the expected benzothiazines 3e-f . Isolation of ethyl ether as another product in the reaction of 1e-f with sodium ethoxide supports the suggestion that the formation of 6 involves the O-alkyl fission on the alkyl carbon of the esters 2e-f . An explanation of these results may be related to the acidic character of the amide hydrogen in compounds 2e-f .
