One–Pot Synthesis of β,γ-Unsaturated γ-Lactone Phosphorus Yildes using 2-Nitro Trans-Cinnamaldehyde and Acetylenic Esters in the Presence of Triphenylphosphine

Abstract

Three-component reaction of triphenylphosphine and 2-nitro trans-cinnamaldehyde with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate leads to β,γ-unsaturated γ-lactone phosphorus ylides in moderate yields.

Synthesis of Highly Functionalized gamma-Butyrolactones from Activated Carbonyl Compounds and Dimethyl Acetylenedicarboxylate

A triphenylphosphine-catalyzed cyclization of alpha-keto esters, alpha-keto nitriles, or alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoroacetophenone with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate is reported to produce highly functionalized alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-butyrolactones in moderate yields. Thus treating a mixture of methyl 4-nitrophenylglyoxylate and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate with 20 mol % of triphenylphosphine afforded 5,5'-disubstituted 3-methoxy-4-(methoxycarbonyl)-2(3H)-furanone in 94% yield. In the reaction of alpha-keto esters R(1)COCOOMe, an electron-withdrawing R(1) substituent is required for satisfactory reactivity. On the other hand, electron-donating R(1) substituents give higher yields with alpha-keto nitriles R(1)COCN. Another electron-deficient carbonyl compound, alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoroacetophenone, gave the corresponding lactone in good yield. The use of an alpha-hydroxy ketone as an electrophilic carbonyl compound with more than 1 equiv of triphenylphosphine produced dihydrofuran derivatives. One equivalent of triphenylphosphine oxide was obtained as a major product. An intramolecular Wittig reaction is proposed as a reaction mechanism.
