Preparation of peptides and active esters by a hydrolysis-dehydration reaction with phosphonites,and the application of the reaction to polymer synthesis

Dehydration reactions accompanied by hydrolysis of the condensation reagent itself, generalized as “hydrolysis-dehydration,” are seen in the formation of amides and esters using phosphites. The proposed concept was shown to be applicable also to the reactions with other phosphorus compounds, such as phosphinites, phosphonites and phosphonates. Aryl esters of these phosphorus compounds were effective for producing amides and esters, whereas alkyl esters were ineffective. Several peptides and active esters of amino acids were prepared using diphenyl phosphonites in the presence of tertiary amines and extended to the preparation of polypeptides and polyamides. Linear polypeptides and high molecular weight polyamides were obtained by means of diphenyl ethylphosphonite in N-methylpyrrolidone containing pyridine.     

Studies on reactions of the N-phosphonium salts of pyridines—VII : Preparation of peptides and active esters of amino acids by means of diphenyl and triphenyl phosphites in the presence of tertiary amines

Peptides and active esters of amino acids were produced in high yields from carboxyl and amino or hydroxyl components in pyridine with an equivalent amount of diphenyl phosphite or half an equivalent amount of triphenyl phosphite and tertiary amines. Condensation reactions competed with the reaction with a phenoxy group of the phosphite to produce the phenyl ester and were governed by the tertiary amine employed in the reaction. The reactions are assumed to proceed via the N- phosphonium salts of pyridines, similar to those obtained by the oxidation of phosphorus compounds with mercuric salts in pyridine.     

The preparation of N-substituted aminomethylidenebisphosphonates and their tetraalkyl esters via reaction of isonitriles with trialkyl phosphites and hydrogen chloride. Part 1

The reaction of isonitriles with trialkyl phosphites in the presence of hydrogen chloride gives tetraalkyl N-substituted aminomethylidenebisphosphonates via N-methylideneaminium (isonitrilium) salts. Hydrolysis or dealkylation of these tetraalkyl esters gives N-substituted aminomethylidenebisphosphonic acids in high yields.     

Synthesis of dialkyl esters of arylamino(2-pyridyl)methyl-phosphonic acids

Crystalline dialkyl esters of arylamino(2-pyridyl)methylphosphonic acids have been synthesized by the reaction of 1-pyridylazomethines with dialkyl phosphites in the presence of sodium alkoxides. When -pyridinealdehyde was condensed with dialkyl phosphites in the presence of sodium alkoxides, dialkyl esters of hydroxy(2-pyridyl) methylphosphonic acids were obtained in the form of viscous liquids. These compounds were identified in the form of the crystalline methiodides.     

The methyl group as a source of structural diversity in heterocyclic chemistry: side chain functionalization of picolines and related heterocycles

The reaction of 2-picoline at the methyl group with NDA and KDA followed by dimethyldisulfide trapping furnished, respectively, dithioacetals and trithioortho esters with high selectivity. The method was successfully applied to other methyl-substituted pyridines, quinolines, and pyrazines. Dithioketals were prepared by a one-pot procedure involving the reaction of metalated 2-picoline with 2 equiv of dimethyldisulfide followed by in situ trapping with a second electrophile. All of the generated thio-substituted compounds were efficiently transformed in presence of mercury salts or under oxidizing conditions to other functional groups comprising aldehydes, ketones, ketals, thiol esters, orthoesters, and esters.     

Di(adamant-1-yl)- and di(adamant-2-yl)thiophosphoric acids and their triethylammonium salts in alkylation reactions

By reaction of di(adamant-1-yl) and di(adamant-2-yl) phosphites with sulfur in the presence of triethylamine diadamantylthiophosphoric acid triethylammonium salts were obtained. The latter by the action of hydrochloric acid were converted into free thiophosphoric acids and by the reaction of alkylation into the respective triesters which have thionic structure. Applicability in such reactions also of triethylammonium salts of diadamantyldithiophosphoric acids was demonstrated.     

Studies on reactions of the N-phosphonium salts of pyridines. XIII. Direct polycondensation reaction of carbon dioxide or disulfide with diamines under mild conditions

Polyureas of high molecular weight were obtained by the direct polycondensation reaction of carbon dioxide with diamines at 40°C for several hours under a pressure of carbon dioxide (below 30 atm) by use of diphenyl phosphite in pyridine. Optimal temperature and pressure were 40°C and 20 atm of carbon dioxide. The polycondensation reaction was also affected by solvents and type and amounts of tertiary amines. Pyridine was most effective as tertiary amine and solvent as well. Of the phosphorous compounds used, triaryl phosphites and diphenyl phosphite were most effective, but trialkyl phosphites failed to give polymer. The reaction was assumed to proceed via a carbamyl N-phosphonium salt of pyridine formed by dephenoxylation of phosphites. Similarly, polythioureas were prepared by heating a mixture of carbon disulfide, diamines, and diphenyl phosphite in pyridine at 40°C for 6 hr under nitrogen.     

REACTIONS OF DERIVATIVES OF PHOSPHORUS ACIDS WITH CARBONYL COMPOUNDS ACTIVATED BY ELECTRONEGATIVE GROUPS

Abstract

The Arbuzov reaction results in the synthesis of various phosphonic esters and is of great importance for the further development of the chemistry of organophosphorus compounds. Investigations of recent decades have shown that, besides halogen-containing organic compounds, different types of organic compounds of the electrophilic type which do not contain halogen atoms are capable of entering this reaction. Reactions with carbonyl compounds are especially interesting. This report presents the results of reactions of derivatives of tricoordinated phosphorus (trialkyl phosphites, amidophosphites, ester anhydrides, isocyanate phosphites) with carbonyl compounds. Special emphasis was placed on studying the reactions with carbonyl compounds activated by some electronegative groups. The regularities and mechanisms of these reactions were investigated depending on the structure of the carbonyl compounds, the derivatives of tricoordinated phosphorus and the reaction conditions.     

Reactions of N‐phthalylamino acid chlorides with trialkyl phosphites

Reaction of commercially available trialkyl phosphites with N‐phthalylamino acids gave mixtures of seven products, whereas the same reaction carried out with pure triethyl phosphite yielded only the desired 2‐(N‐phthalylamino)‐1‐oxoalkanephosphonates. These compounds underwent rearrangement to the same types of products that were obtained with the commercial phosphites. This latter series of reactions was promoted by the presence of dialkyl phosphites. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 11:232–239, 2000     

Synthesis of polyamides by a new direct polycondensation reaction using triphenyl phosphite and lithium chloride

Metal salts such as lithium chloride were found to facilitate significantly the reaction of carboxylic acids and amines promoted by triphenyl phosphite, and the reaction was applied successfully to the direct polycondensation reaction of dicarboxylic acids and diamines and of p-aminobenzoic acid. Among metal salts tested, lithium chloride was most effective to the reaction; the chloride was involved catalytically in the reaction, its addition of about twice equivalent to triphenyl phosphite giving the most favorable results. Triphenyl phosphite was most effective, whereas diphenyl phosphite was less effective, and alkyl esters gave no polymers. The reaction was also markedly affected by solvents, the most favorable results being given in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). Various polyamides of high molecular weight were obtained in quantitative yield.     

Chemistry of bicyclic 5-6 systems: Synthesis of oxazolo[3,2-a]pyridines and their salts with a ring-junction nitrogen atom

The present review highlights the synthetic procedures reported for the preparation of oxazolo[3,2-a]pyridines as a class of 5-6 bicyclic heterocycles with a nitrogen atom at the ring junction. The different sections included the synthesis of the investigated analogs through the reactions of (1) β-ketoesters with α,β-unsaturated ketones (2) δ-oxoacids or esters or unsaturated carboxylic acids with glycinol derivatives (3) unsaturated ketoesters with enamines (4) ethoxymethylenes with amidoglycinol derivatives (5) pyridinium salts with phenylglycinol (6) Multicomponent reactions, and (7) Synthesis of tetracyclic systems. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate a synopsis of the synthesis of compounds containing oxazolo[3,2-a]pyridine skeleton with high yields using readily and accessible starting materials, and efficient synthetic routes until now. The stereochemistry of the obtained enantiopure heterocycles, the isolation of the isomers and the reaction mechanisms of the unexpected products are discussed.     

Wholly aromatic polyamides by the direct polycondensation reaction using triphenyl phosphite in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridine)

The polycondensation reaction of aromatic dicarboxylic acids and diamines by using triphenyl phosphite were carried out in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP). The reaction, especially of terephthalic acid (TPA), was markedly facilitated to give the absence of P4VP. The reaction promoted by P4VP was further favored by the addition of various pyridine derivatives; of the pyridines examined, pyridine was most effective, giving the best results at a high level (pyridine/P4VP values up to 26). P4VP of the molecular weight in the range of 1.3 × 10⁴?3.0 × 10⁵ did not affect the viscosity of the resulting polymer. These favorable additive effects of P4VP on the reaction of TPA were not observed in the reactions of isophthalic acid, and m -and p-aminobenzoic acids.     

Synthesis of the first stable phosphonamide transition state analogue

Three methods were selected for the one-pot synthesis of the fully protected beta-fluoroaminophosphonic acids, using the readily accessible N-protected beta-fluoroaminals. These were activated by acylation leading, by beta-elimination, to a transient N-acylimine immediately trapped by reactive forms of dialkyl phosphites. Avoiding basic conditions, the complete or partial deprotection of these N-protected beta-fluoroaminophosphonic esters allowed the synthesis of the free amino acids, their esters, and a racemic beta-trifluorophosphonamidic acid. The latter, which represents a transition state analogue formed by the bacterial transpeptidase, is perfectly stable at pH 4.7, contrary to the nonfluorinated compounds.     

Phosphoramidites are efficient,green organocatalysts for the Michael reaction. Mechanistic insights into the phosphorus-catalyzed Michael reaction of alkynones and implications for asymmetric catalysis

Hexamethylphosphorous triamide (HMPT) and other phosphoramidites and phosphites have been found to be efficient catalysts for the Michael reaction of alkenones and alkynones with malonates, alpha-cyano esters, beta-keto esters, and nitro compounds. The relatively nontoxic, easily hydrolyzed HMPT catalyzes the Michael reaction within seconds at room temperature in the absence of a solvent, and the reaction is worked up simply by removing the catalyst in vacuo. The Michael reactions of alkynones, unlike those of alkenones, are shown to be irreversible. The implications for asymmetric catalysis are discussed.     

Synthesis of imidazolino [1,2-f]xanthin-2-ones and their methylene-group-substituted derivatives

8-Amino-7-theophyllylacetic acids and their esters were obtained by reaction of 8-amino(alkylamino, arylamino)theophyllines with haloacetic acids and their esters. The structures of the products were established, and the conditions for cyclization to imidazolino[1,2-f]xanthin-2-one derivatives were studied. The corresponding methylene-group-substituted derivatives were synthesized by reaction of the imidazolino[1,2-f]xanthin-2-one derivatives with aldehydes, isatin, aromatic nitroso compounds, and arenediazonium salts. The ylidene derivatives of this threering system were also obtained by reaction of 8-amino-7-theophyllylacetic acids or their esters with carbonyl compounds.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1132–1135, August, 1976.     

Contribution á l''étude des tris(dialcoylamino)stibines : II. Étude des réactions avec les dérivés carbonylés et les dérivés bifonctionnels

The reaction of Sb(NMe₂)₃ with aldehydes and ketones leads to enamines or diamines according to the degree of substitution of the carbonyl compound. With acids Sb(NMe₂)₃ gives amides, and with β-diketones and β-keto esters it gives enamines. With bifunctional compounds such as diols, secondary diamines or aminoalcohols, different heterocyclic compounds are formed according to the ratio of bifunctional compound to antimony.     

Synthetic Reactions Using Low‐valent Titanium Reagents Derived from Ti(OR)4 or CpTiX3 (X = O‐i‐Pr or Cl) in the Presence of Me3SiCl and Mg

In the presence of Me₃SiCl, Ti(OR)₄ or CpTiX₃ (X = O‐i‐Pr or Cl) is reduced by Mg powder in THF to gradually generate a specific low‐valent titanium (LVT) species that mediates several synthetic reactions. The LVT‐catalyzed C–O bond‐cleaving reactions of allyl and propargyl ethers and esters generate parent alcohols and carboxylic acids, respectively. O‐allyl and propargyl carbamates are also readily deprotected by the LVT to afford parent amines. In addition, the respective reductive N–S or O–S bond cleavage of sulfonamides or sulfonyl esters mediated by the LVT was developed as a novel facile deprotection method. The reagent catalyzes intra‐ and intermolecular alkyne or alkyne/nitrile cycloaddition to produce substituted benzenes and pyridines, while epoxides and oxetanes are reduced to alcohols via an LVT‐mediated homolytic ring opening. The McMurry coupling of aryl aldehydes and ketones proceeds with the LVT under homogeneous and mild reaction conditions and is effective for the polymerization of aromatic dialdehydes, generating conjugated polymers. Finally, imino‐pinacol coupling of imines is mediated by the LVT to provide 1,2‐diamines.     

New thermo-crosslinking reactions of polymers containing pendant epoxide groups with various polyfunctional active esters

New thermo-crosslinking reactions of poly(glycidyl methacrylate), copolymers of glycidyl methacrylate with methyl methacrylate, styrene or ethyl acrlate with various active esters such as di[S-(2-benzothiazoly)] thioadipate (BTAD), di(S-phenyl) thioadipate (PTAD), di(4-nitrophenyl) adipate (NPAD), diphenyl adipate (PAD), and di(S-phenyl) thioisophthalate (PTIP), and other polyfunctional esters were carried out in the film state using various catalysts such as quarternary ammonium or phosphonium salts, tert amines, or the crown ether 18-crown-6 = potassium salts system. Addition reactions of pendant epoxide groups in the polymer with the active esters such as NPAD and PTAD proceeded selectively to give gel compounds without other side reactions. The rates of reaction with the thioesters such as BTAD and PTAD were relatively faster than those with the phenyl esters such as PAD and NPAD at 70°C. The rates of reactions with the esters having flexible segments such as PTAD were also faster than those with the esters having rigid skeletons such as PTIP. Furthermore, it was found that the rate of reaction was affected strongly by reaction temperature, catalyst concentration, length of alkyl chain in the catalyst, kind of counterion of quarternary ammonium salts as a catalyst, content of pendant epoxide groups in the polymer, and kind of copolymer unit in the polymer, respectively.     

New poly(amide-imide) siloxane copolymers by polycondensation

Some new poly(amide-imide) siloxane copolymers have been synthesized by solution polycondensation of some aromatic diamines with siloxanic diacids having preformed imide rings. Two polycondensation techniques were used: polycondensation of aromatic diamines with diacid chlorides and direct polycondensation of aromatic diamines with diacids in the presence of organic phosphites, following the Yamazaki-Higashi phosphorylation technique. In all cases the reactions were carried out using equimolecular amounts of the two monomers, in polar aprotic solvents and inert atmosphere.The obtained compounds were characterized by elemental C, H and Si analysis, solubility tests, IR and ¹H-NMR spectrometry. Thermogravimetric curves were also recorded. All data agree with the proposed structures.
