Reactions of Elemental Phosphorus with Electrophiles in Super Basic Systems: XVII. Phosphorylation of Arylalkenes with Active Modifications of Elemental Phosphorus

The example of the phosphorylation of styrene and 2-vinylnaphthalene with elemental phosphorus in the KOH-DMSO system at room or elevated temperature was used to show that the activated red phosphorus prepared from white phosphorus under ionizing radiation has a reactivity comparable with that of white phosphorus and significantly higher than that of ordinary technical red phosphorus.     

Non-catalytic Addition of 1,2,4-Triazole to Nucleophilic and Electrophilic Alkenes

Non-catalytic addition of 1,2,4-triazole to vinyl ethers and esters occurs on heating (65-175°C, 4-20 h) to give Markovnikov adducts (yield 30-100%). Electron-deficient alkenes (acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one) react with 1,2,4-triazole (78-190°C, 4-20 h) to give anti-Markovnikov adducts in yields of 45-83%.     

Direct vinylation of glucose derivatives with acetylene

Vinyl ethers, promising chiral carbohydrate synthons, have been synthesized by the addition of glucose acetals (1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose, methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-d-glucopyranoside, 1,2-O-cyclohexylidene-α-d-glucofuranose, methyl α-d-glucopyranoside) to acetylene under atmospheric and elevated pressures in an autoclave in the presence of superbase catalytic systems (KOH-DMSO, t-BuOK-DMSO). The complete vinylation of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose and methyl α-d-glucopyranoside has been realized under elevated pressure of acetylene in the system KOH-THF as well.     

Noncatalytic hydrophosphorylation and hydrothiophosphorylation of hydroxyaldehydes

Nucleophilic addition of secondary phosphone oxides and phosphine sulfides to 2-hydroxyacet-, 2-hydroxybenz-, and 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehydes proceeds under mild conditions (48–50°C, THF) and allows tertiary phosphine oxides and phosphine sulfides with several hydroxyl groups to be prepared.     

Electrophilic and Nucleophilic Addition of Alkanethiols to 2-Vinyloxyethylmethacrylate

Under acid- or base-catalyzed conditions, thiols add regio- and chemos-electively either to vinyloxy or methacrylate group of vinyloxyalkyl-methacrylates to give polyfunctional methacrylates or polyfunctional vinyl ethers, respectively.     

Reaction of Red Phosphorus and Phosphine with Aryl(Hetaryl)Ethenes and -Ethynes

Abstract

Nucleophilic addition of phosphide anions generated from phosphorus red or phosphine to ethenes and ethynes in the presence of super bases to afford organylphosphines and -oxides has been performed.     

Generation of Phosphide Anions from Phosphorus Red and Phosphine in Strongly Basic Systems to Form Organylphosphines and -Oxides

Abstract

Generation of phosphide anions from phosphorus red or phosphine under the action of strong bases followed by their reactions with organyl halides, electrophilic alkenes and alkynes proves to be the most straightforward and well-controlled route to mono-, di- or triorganylphosphines or phosphine oxides of diverse structure.     

Reaction of Red Phosphorus with Allylbenzene in Superbasic System KOH-DMSO

Abstract

Red phosphorus reacts with allylbenzene in the superbase system KOH-DMSO (130°C, 3 h, Ar) to give a mixture of bis(1-methyl-2-phenylethyl)phosphane (1), bis(1-methyl-2-phenylethyl)phosphane oxide (2), and 1-methyl-2-phenylethylphosphinic acid (3). Secondary phosphane oxide 2 and phosphinic acid 3 have been isolated from this mixture in 35% and 32% yield, respectively. Microwave activation of the reaction (200 W, 30 min) affords secondary phosphane 1 as the main product in 48% yield.
