Reaction of 2H-azirine phosphine oxide and -phosphonates with nucleophiles. Stereoselective Synthesis of functionalized aziridines and alpha- and beta-aminophosphorus derivatives

[reaction: see text] A simple and efficient stereoselective synthesis of aziridine-2-phosphonate 3, and -phosphine oxide 5 by diastereoselective addition of Grignard reagents to 2H-azirine phosphonate 1 and -phosphine oxide 4 is reported. Similarly, the addition of heterocyclic amines and benzenethiol to aziridines 1 and 4 yielded functionalized aziridines 10, 11, and 18. These aziridines are used as intermediates for the regioselective synthesis of beta-aminophosphine oxides 6 and beta-aminophosphonates 7, as well as alpha- aminophosphonates 8. Phenylsulfenyl-substituted alpha-aminophosphorus derivatives 15 and 19 are obtained directly from benzenethiol and 2H-azirine phosphonates 1 and -phosphine oxides 4.     

Synthesis of pyrazine-phosphonates and -phosphine oxides from 2H-azirines or oximes

[reaction: see text] Tetrasubstituted pyrazines containing two phosphonate groups 2 in positions 2 and 5 and trisubstituted pyrazines containing a phosphonate 5 or a phosphine oxide group 7 in position 2 are obtained by thermal treatment of 2H-azirine-2-phosphonates 1 and -phosphine oxides 6. These pyrazines can also be prepared from beta-ketoxime tosylates 9 and 10 or from oxime derived from phosphine oxide 11.     

Asymmetric synthesis of 2H-azirines derived from phosphine oxides using solid-supported amines. Ring opening of azirines with carboxylic acids

A simple and efficient asymmetric synthesis of 2H-azirine-2-phosphine oxides 3 is described. The key step is a solid-phase bound achiral or chiral amine-mediated Neber reaction of beta-ketoxime tosylates derived from phosphine oxides 1. Reaction of 2H-azirines 3 and 11 with carboxylic acids 4 gives phosphorylated ketamides 5 and 12. Ring closure of ketamides 5 and 12 with triphenylphosphine and hexachloroethane in the presence of triethylamine leads to the formation of phosphorylated oxazoles 8 and 13.     

Regioselective synthesis of 4- and 5-oxazole-phosphine oxides and -phosphonates from 2H-azirines and acyl chlorides

A simple and efficient regioselective synthesis of 4-oxazole-phosphine oxides 11 and -phosphonates 12 from 2H-azirine-phosphine oxides 1 and -phosphonates 6 is described. The key step for the synthesis of oxazoles 11 is a base-mediated ring closure of vinylogous α-aminophosphorus compounds derived from phosphine oxides 4 and from phosphonates 8. These derivatives 4 and 8 are obtained by reaction of functionalized azirines 1 and 6 with acyl chlorides 2 and subsequent acid-catalyzed ring opening of N-acylaziridine-phosphine oxides 3 and -phosphonates 7. Regioselective thermal ring cleavage of N-acylaziridine-phosphine oxides 3 leads α-chloro-β-(N-acylamido)-phosphine oxides 13 and their treatment with bases gives 5-oxazole-phosphine oxides 16.

The herbicidal activity increases from pyridyloxy-phenylaminoalkylphosphonates to phenoxy-phenylaminoalkyl-phosphonates, -phosphinates, -phosphine oxides. Of all the compounds tested the phosphine oxide 4a was at all concentrations the most active compound.     

Synthesis and resolution of diethyl (1S,2S)-1-amino-2-vinylcyclopropane-1-phosphonate for HCV NS3 protease inhibitors

We herein describe an efficient synthesis of optically active diethyl 1-amino-2-vinylcyclopropane-1-phosphonate (analogous to 1-amino-2-vinylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate). The racemic phosphonate diethyl ester was obtained from an imine derived from aminomethylphosphonate diester and trans-1,4-dibromo-2-butene. Crystallizations of the dibenzoyl-l-tartaric acid salt allowed for separation of enantiomers. The enantiomerically pure material was used to synthesize an extremely potent tripeptide phosphonate inhibitor of HCV NS3 protease. X-ray crystal structure of the inhibitor bound to the HCV NS3 protease confirmed the absolute stereochemistry of the title compound.     

Reactions of zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-phenylethanone and 2-bromoindan-1-one with alkyl 2-oxochromene-and 6-bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxylates

Zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-phenylethanone react with alkyl 2-oxochromene-3-carboxylates and methyl 6-bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxylate to give, respectively, alkyl 4-(2-aryl-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl)-2-oxochroman-3-carboxylates and methyl 6-bromo-4-(2-aryl-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl)-2-oxochroman-3-carboxylate as a single stereoisomer. Zinc enolates derived from 2-bromoindan-1-one react with alkyl 2-oxochromene-3-carboxylates to give alkyl 2-oxo-4-(1-oxoindan-2-yl)chroman-3-carboxylates as a single stereoisomer.     

Cyclopropanation of N-Substituted 2-Oxochromene- and 6-Bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides with Zinc Enolates Derived from 1-Aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones

Zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones react with N-cyclohexyl-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides to give N-cyclohexyl-1-alkyl-1-aroyl-2-oxo-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-1a-carboxamides mainly as cis isomers with respect to the substituents in positions 1 and 1a. Reactions of the same zinc enolates with N-benzyl-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamide and N-benzyl-6-bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamide lead to formation of 1-aryl-2-benzyl- and 1-aryl-2-benzyl-6-bromo-1-hydroxy-9c-alkyl-1,2,9b,9c-tetrahydro-5-oxa-2-azacyclopenta[2,3]cyclopropa[1,2-a]naphthalene-3,4-diones. The reaction of zinc enolates with N-aryl-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides in a weakly polar solvent (diethyl ether or ethyl acetate) affords mixtures of cis-N-aryl-1-aroyl-1-alkyl-2-oxo-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-1a-carboxamides and their cyclic isomers, 9c-alkyl-1,2-diaryl-1-hydroxy-1,2,9b,9c-tetrahydro-5-oxa-2-azacyclopenta[2,3]cyclopropa[1,2-a]naphthalene-3,4-diones, the latter prevailing. N-Substituted 1-alkyl-1-aroyl-2-oxo-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-1a-carboxamides in which the aroyl group on C¹ and the carboxamide group on C^1a are arranged trans are formed by reactions of zinc enolates with the corresponding 2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides in the presence of hexamethylphosphoric triamide.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 4, 2005, pp. 539–546.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by V.

High stereocontrol in aldol reaction with ketones: enantioselective synthesis of beta-hydroxy gamma-ketoesters by ester enolate aldol reactions with 2-acyl-2-alkyl-1,3-dithiane 1-oxides

The asymmetric aldol reaction of 1,2-diketones, masked as nonracemic 2-acyl dithiane oxides, with lithium enolates derived from several esters and lactones, proceeds with a high degree of stereocontrol at both carbonyl and enolate prochiral centers, the stereocontrol mainly determined by the configuration of the sulfoxide sulfur atom. The sense of induced stereochemistry observed for ester enolates is different from that seen for lactone enolates. Hydrolysis of the dithiane oxide units of the major diastereoisomerically pure aldol products affords enantiomerically pure tertiary alpha-substituted beta-hydroxy-gamma-ketoesters.     

Diastereoselective synthesis of five- and seven-membered rings by [2+2+1], [3+2], [3+2+2], and [4+3] carbocyclization reactions of beta-substituted (alkenyl)(methoxy)carbene complexes with methyl ketone lithium enolates

beta-Substituted alkenylcarbene complexes react with methyl ketone lithium enolates to give different carbocyclization products depending on the structure of the lithium enolate, on the metal of the carbene complex, and on the reaction media. Thus, the reactions of aryl and alkyl methyl ketone lithium enolates with beta-substituted alkenyl chromium and tungsten carbene complexes in diethyl ether afford 1,3-cyclopentanediol derivatives derived from a formal [2+2+1] carbocyclization reaction. However, the lithium enolates of acetone and tungsten complexes furnish formal [3+2+2] carbocyclization products. In the case of alkynyl methyl ketone lithium enolates, competitive formal [2+2+1] and [3+2] carbocyclization reactions occur and 1,3-cyclopentanediol and 3-cyclopentenol derivatives are formed. Conversely, alkenyl methyl ketone lithium enolates react with alkenylcarbene complexes under the same reaction conditions to form 2-cycloheptenone derivatives by a formal [4+3] carbocyclization reaction. Finally, when the reaction was performed in the presence of a coordinating medium, the [3+2] carbocyclization pattern was observed independently of the nature of the methyl ketone lithium enolate used.     

Reactions of 1,3,5-triazinyl-nitroformaldoximes. 1. Interaction of 1,3,5-triazinylnitroformaldoximes with dicarbonyl compounds

Addition of enolates of dicarbonyl compounds to 1,3,5-triazinylnitrile oxides, prepared in situ from 2-R-4-R¹-1,3,5-triazin-6-ylnitroformaldoximes, led to the formation of 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles. The X-ray crystal structure of 4-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2′-methoxy-5-methyl-4′-pyrrolidinyl-1,3,5-triazin-6′-yl)-5-isoxazole is described.     

Divergent selectivity in MgI(2)-mediated ring expansions of methylenecyclopropyl amides and imides

We report a novel approach to prepare five- and six-membered heterocyclic compounds via a ring expansion of monoactivated methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) with aldimines and aldehydes in the presence of MgI(2). Monoactivated MCPs behave as homo-Michael acceptors to afford bifunctional vinylogous enolates in the presence of MgI(2). The carbonyl moiety of the monoactivated MCP dramatically influences the reaction site in the dienolate with aryl aldimines and aldehydes as well as the size of the ring. Excellent divergent selectivity to five- vs. six-membered heterocycles is observed: alpha-alkylation/5-exo-tet cyclization (Z = NPh(2)) vs. gamma-alkylation/6-exo-trig cyclization (Z = 2-oxazolidone). Analogously, the reaction of the MCP imide with alkyl aldimines demonstrates the same selectivity by varying the size of electrophile or the reaction temperature. In addition, we observe the first example of the formation of the gamma-alkylation adduct in the reaction of a vinylogous imide enolate with a carbonyl compound.     

Highly diastereoselective alkylation reactions of vinylogous urethanes derived from simple tetronic acids

The lithium enolates generated from the tetronic acid derived vinylogous urethanes 3 and 4 have been found to undergo alkylation reactions with a variety of electrophiles to give products with predictable stereochemistry accompanied by very high diastereoselectivity.     

Reactions of zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromo-alkanones and 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-phenylethanone with 3-aroyl-6-bromochromen-2-ones and 2-benzoylbenzo[f]chromen-3-one

3-Aroyl-6-bromochromen-2-ones and 2-benzoylbenzo[f]chromen-3-one reacted with zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromoalkanones and 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-phenylethanone to give, respectively, 4-(1-alkyl-2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3-aroyl-6-bromochroman-2-ones and 1-(2-aroyl-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-2-benzoyl-1,2-dihydrobenzo[f]chromen-3-ones as a single stereoisomer. Treatment with acetic anhydride of the intermediate product obtained from 3-benzoyl-6-bromochromen-2-one and [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylethen-1-yloxy]-zinc(II) bromide resulted in the formation of 3-(1-acetoxy-1-phenylmethylidene)-6-bromo-4-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl]chroman-2-one.     

One-pot reaction of 2-formylbenzoates,hexamethyldisilazane, and diethyl phosphite in the presence of Yb(OTf)3: Synthesis of 3-phosphonate phthalides

Reaction of 2-formylbenzoates with hexamethyldisilazane and diethyl phosphite in the presence of Yb(OTf)₃ proceeded smoothly at room temperature to afford addition adducts, which were readily cyclized to 3-phosphonate phthalides by adding trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The reactions employing Sc(OTf)₃ instead of Yb(OTf)₃ produced 3-phosphonate isoindolinones without addition of TFA.     

Tandem nucleophilic addition/fragmentation reactions and synthetic versatility of vinylogous acyl triflates

A thorough analysis of the chemistry of vinylogous acyl triflates provides insight into important chemical processes and opens new directions in synthetic technology. Tandem nucleophilic addition/C-C bond cleaving fragmentation reactions of cyclic vinylogous acyl triflates 1 yield a variety of acyclic acetylenic compounds. Full details are disclosed herein. A wide array of nucleophiles, such as organolithium and Grignard reagents, lithium enolates and their analogues, hydride reagents, and lithium amides, are applied. The respective reactions produce ketones 2, 1,3-diketones and their analogues 3, alcohols 4, and amides 5. The present reactions are proposed to proceed through a 1,2-addition of the nucleophile to the carbonyl group of starting triflates 1 to form tetrahedral alkoxide intermediates C, followed by Grob-type fragmentation, which effects C-C bond cleavage to yield acyclic acetylenic compounds 2-5 and 7. The potent nucleofugacity of the triflate moiety is channeled through the sigma-bond framework of 1, providing direct access to the fragmentation pathway without denying other typical reactions of cyclic vinylogous esters. The synthetic versatility of vinylogous acyl triflates, including functionalization reactions of the cyclic enone core (1 --> 6 or 8), is also illustrated.     

Cycloaddition reaction of 2-azadienes derived from beta-amino acids with electron-rich and electron-deficient alkenes and carbonyl compounds. Synthesis of pyridine and 1,3-oxazine derivatives

Functionalized keto-enamines 6 were obtained by nucleophilic addition of enol ethers to the imine moiety of 2-azadienes derived from dehydroaspartic esters 4. Reactions of 2-azadiene 4c containing three electron-withdrawing substituents (CO(2)R) with enol ethers 5 in the presence of lithium perchlorate led to the formation of tetrahydropyridine derivatives 7 in a regio- and stereoselective fashion. 2H-[1,3]-oxazines 10 and pyridine derivatives 12 and 13 were obtained by heterocycloaddition reactions of electron-poor azadienes 4d-g containing two electron-withdrawing substituents (4-O(2)N-C(6)H(4), CO(2)R) in positions 1 and 4 with carbonyl derivatives (ethyl glyoxalate 9a and diethyl ketomalonate 9b) and the electron-deficient olefin tetracyanoethylene 11.     

Asymmetric synthesis of alpha-substituted beta-amino ketones from sulfinimines (N-sulfinyl imines). synthesis of the indolizidine alkaloid (-)-223A

Of the possible four stereoisomers, addition of the lithium enolate of 4-heptanone to sulfinimines resulted in only the syn- and anti-alpha-substituted beta-amino ketones. The formation of the major syn-beta-amino ketone was rationalized in terms of addition of the E-enolate to the C-N double bond of the sulfinimine via a six-member chelated chairlike transition state. The enolates of 4-heptanone were generated using LiHMDS in THF where a 1:2.5 E:Z enolate ratio was noted. In diethyl ether the E:Z ratio was 15:1 in favor of the E-enolate and explained in terms of Ireland's transition state model. Here increased steric interactions between the ethyl group and the carbonyl-LiN(TMS)(2) moiety destabilize the transition state leading to the Z-enolate in the poorly coordinating diethyl ether solvent. This new synthesis of syn-alpha-substituted-beta-amino ketones was applied to the concise enantioselective total synthesis of indolizidine (-)-223A, a 5,6,8-trisubstituted alkaloid isolated from the skin of the dendrobatide frog.     

Organophosphorus chemistry. Part 19. Free-radical addition of dialkyl phosphites to polyfluoro-olefins

An improved procedure for the peroxide-catalysed addition of dialkyl phosphites to tetrafluoroethylene is described, and the reactions of diethylphosphite with chlorotrifluoroethylene, 1,1-difluoroethylene,perfluoropropene, and 3,3,3-trifluoropropene have been investigated and found to yield diethyl 2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethylphosphonate, diethyl 2,2-difluoroethylphosphonate, an 80:20 mixture of diethyl 2$\text{H}$-hexafluoro-$\text{n}$-propylphosphonate and diethyl 1$\text{H}$-hexafluoropropyl-2-phosphonate, and diethyl 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl-1-phosphonate, respectively.     

Conformational analysis of 2-aminophenyl-, 2-aminobenzyl-, and 2-nitrobenzyl(diphenyl)phosphine oxides

The polarity and conformations of 2-aminophenyl-, 2-aminobenzyl-, and 2-nitrobenzyl(diphenyl)-phosphine oxides were studied by the dipole moment method, IR spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. 2-Aminophenyl- and 2-aminobenzyl(diphenyl)phosphine oxides were found to exist preferentially as conformers with intramolecular hydrogen bond. 2-Nitrobenzyl(diphenyl)phosphine oxide is likely to be represented by equilibrium mixture of three conformers in which the phosphoryl and nitro groups are oriented syn or anti with respect to the \(PC_{sp^3 } C_{sp^2 } \) fragment.
