Phosphoryl azides

The decomposition of (536) with hydrogen sulfide yields pyrazole (76T1909). The 1-phosphorylpyrazoles (537) are suitable reagents for the phosphorylation of alcohols, amines, hydrazines and azides (76AG(E)378). 

The procedure described is essentially that of Shioiri and Yamada. Diphenyl phosphorazidate is a useful and versatile reagent in organic synthesis. It has been used for racemlzatlon-free peptide syntheses, thiol ester synthesis, a modified Curtius reaction, an esterification of a-substituted carboxylic acld, formation of diketoplperazines, alkyl azide synthesis, phosphorylation of alcohols and amines,and polymerization of amino acids and peptides. - Furthermore, diphenyl phosphorazidate acts as a nitrene source and as a 1,3-dipole.An example in the ring contraction of cyclic ketones to form cycloalkanecarboxylic acids is presented in the next procedure, this volume. 

Esters of a-diazoalkylphosphonic acids (95) show considerable thermal stability but react with acids, dienophiles, and triphenylphosphine to give the expected products. With olefinic compounds in the presence of copper they give cyclopropane derivatives (96), but with no such compounds present vinylphosphonic esters are formed by 1,2-hydrogen shift, or, when this route is not available, products such as (97) or (98) are formed, resulting from insertion of a carbenoid intermediate into C—C or C—H bonds. The related phosphonyl (and phosphoryl) azides (99) add to electron-rich alkynes to give 1,2,3-triazoles, from which the phosphoryl group is readily removed by hydrolysis. 

When the phosphazene produced by the decomposition of an azide contains an A -phosphoryl group with an alkoxy-substituent, isomerization may occur on heating. Examples of such phosphazenes were produced... 

Diphenylphosphoryl azide also gives good conversion of primary alkyl and secondary benzylic alcohols to azides in the presence of the strong organic base diazabicyc-loundecane (DBU). These reactions proceed by O-phosphorylation followed by Sw2 displacement.78... 

Carboxylic acids can also be activated by the formation of mixed anhydrides with various phosphoric acid derivatives. Diphenyl phosphoryl azide, for example, is an effective reagent for conversion of amines to amides.140 The proposed mechanism involves formation of the acyl azide as a reactive intermediate. 

Azines have been prepared by initial condensation of diethoxyphosphinyIhydrazine anions with aldehydes or ketones (Scheme 9). Phosphoryl azides undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to 2-tetralone enamines to give triazolines, possibly en route to amidines. A full paper on the addition of diethyl dibromophosphoramidate to alkenes(leading to the synthesis of 2-bromoalkylamines) has appeared. ... 

As mentioned in Section VIII.F (Scheme 12), 1 reacts with aromatic azides to give [3 + 2] cycloadducts 47. Sulfonyl and phosphoryl azides, however, react with 1 in a different manner to afford five-membered ring compounds (Eqs. 23 and 24).79... 

Aryldioxophosphoranes such as aryl- and alkyl-iminooxophosphoranes number among the short-lived metaphosphonates. The former are best obtained by fragmentation of cyclic phosphinic esters, and the latter by rearrangement of aryl- and alkyl-substituted phosphoryl azides and nitrenes, respectively. This reaction is reminiscent of the phosphorylcarbene/methyleneoxophosphorane rearrangement discussed in Section 2. 

Similar results are obtained with l-azido-2,2,3,3-tetramethyl- and 1-azido-2,2,4,4-tetramethylphosphetane 1-oxide on photolysis in methanol45,46). The fact that the unsymmetrically substituted phosphoryl azide undergoes both conceivable rearrangements, i.e. 1,2-shift of the CH2 and the C(CH3)2 group, warrants mention. 

In accord with these mechanistic ideas, photolysis of phosphoryl azides of type (RO)2PO—Nj in cyclohexane gives predominantly insertion products. Expectedly, no evidence is obtained for the intermediacy of a corresponding metaphosphate since 1,2-OR shifts do not generally occur. 

Photolysis of bis(dimethylamino)phosphoryl azide 2071401 represents an entirely different entry to a metaphosphorimidate. If the reaction is performed in cyclohexane, it gives only 7 % of the amide 209 which can be rationalized as the insertion product of the intermediate nitrene 208 into a CH bond of cyclohexane. The major product component is a polymer. The assumption that it is polymeric aminometa-phosphorimidate 212 is substantiated indirectly by the nature of the principal product of photolysis of 207 in methanol. A 1,2-shift of a NMe2 moiety which...

Pyridine A-oxides were converted to tetrazolo[l,5-a]pyridines 172 by heating in the presence sulfonyl or phosphoryl azides and pyridine in the absence of solvent <06JOC9540>. 3-R-5-Trinitromethyltetrazolo[l,5-a]-l,3,5-triazin-7-ones 173 have been prepared from the alkylation of 5-trinitromethyltetrazolo[l,5-a]-l,3,5-triazin-7-one silver salt with different alkylation agents <06CHE417>. The use of 2-fluorophenylisocyanide in the combinatorial Ugi-tetrazole reaction followed by a nucleophilic aromatic substitution afforded tricylic tetrazolo[l,5-a]quinoxaline 174 in good yields and with high diversity <06TL2041>. 

Recently a new synthetic pathway to tctrazolo[l,5-z/ pyridine has been explored by Keith <2006JOC9540>. According to this new procedure, pyridine iV-oxides can be treated by sulfonyl or phosphoryl azide to furnish tetrazolo[ 1,5-tf]pyridines in one reaction step in medium to good yields (30-100%).

Antimycin A (1 pg/mL) and sodium azide (NaN3, 10 mM, if used alone or 0.1%) act at cytochrome oxidase B (antimycin) and block oxidative phosphorylation (101). 

When DHAP-dependent aldolases are used as catalyst of the aldol reaction, a phosphorylated azido or amino polyhydroxyketone is obtained. The phosphate may be cleaved enzymatically or reductively cleaved under the hydrogenation conditions of the next step in which the azide is reduced to the amine. Intramolecular imine formation occurs spontaneously when the azide is reduced. The intramolecular reductive amination is the second key step of the aldolase-mediated synthesis of iminocyclitols. In general, delivery of hydrogen onto five- and six-membered ring imines occurs from the face opposite to the C4 hydroxyl group. 

The reaction can also be carried out on the acid using diphenyl phosphoryl azide.179... 

In the mammal, complex polysaccharides which are susceptible to such treatment, are hydrolyzed by successive exposure to the amylase of the saliva, the acid of the stomach, and the disaccharidases (e.g., maltase, invertase, amylase, etc.) by exposure to juices of the small intestine. The last mechanism is very important. Absorption of the resulting monosaccharides occurs primarily in the upper part of the small intestine, from which the sugars are earned to the liver by the portal system. The absorption across die intestinal mucosa occurs by a combination of active transport and diffusion. For glucose, the aclive transport mechanism appears to involve phosphorylation The details are not yet fully understood. Agents which inhibit respiration (e.g., azide, fluoracetic acid, etc.) and phosphorylation (e.g., phlorizin), and those which uncouple oxidation from phosphorylation (e.g., dinitrophenol) interfere with the absorption of glucose. See also Phosphorylation (Oxidative). Once the various monosaccharides pass dirough the mucosa, interconversion of the other...

Later, it was also claimed that 3-(tetrazolyl)-4//-pyrido[ 1,2-u]pyrimidin-4-ones 159 were obtained in an one-step procedure by heating the appropriate 2-aminopyridine, ethyl (l//-tetrazol-5-yl)acetate, and triethyl orthoformate in dimethylformamide at 90°C for 1 hour, or in boiling tetra-hydrofuran for 6 hours followed by treatment with 1N potassium hydroxide at 50°C for 1 hour, or with anhydrous aluminum chloride under reflux for 6 hours (91EUP462834). 9-Methyl-3-( 1 //-tetrazolyl)-4//-pyrido[ 1,2-a]-pyrimidin-4-one 159 (R = 9-Me) could be prepared when 2-amino-3-meth-ylpyridine hydrochloride and sodium azide were suspended and stirred in dimethylformamide for 1 hour at room temperature, followed by the addition of ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate, ethoxymethylenemalo-nonitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate and triethyl orthoformate, or malononitrile and triethyl orthoformate and stirring at 90°C for 6-12 hours. Then the reaction mixture was treated with 1 N potassium hydroxide at 50°C for 1 hour, phosphoryl chloride at 90°C for 5 hours, or with concentrated hydrochloric acid at 110°C for 4 hours to give 26-62% yields. 

Esters of N-phosphoryl phosphazenes are usually formed by the Staudinger reaction which requires the handling of the extremely toxic phosphoric acid ester azides (eq. 1). For developing new synthetic... 

Formation of P=N-P-Bridges. A simple reliable synthesis of N-phosphorylated phosphazenes which avoid the handling of the dangerous phosphoryl azides consists in a direct reaction of di- and trialkyl-phosphites and carbon tetrachloride with sodium azide in a single step procedure (eq. 11). The phosphoryl azides formed intermediately instantly react with the trialkylphosphites present. Therefore, their...
