Phosphation silylation

Allenes. Substituted allenes are prepared from ketones via elimination of the enol phosphates. Interestingly, enol Inflates tend to give alkynes. The method can be applied to protected aminoalkenyl phosphates. Silyl enol ethers" also undergo elimination. 

A nickel catalyst allows reaction between (1) and an enol phosphate, silyl enol ether, or substituted dihydrofurans and dihydropyrans to afford allylsilanes. Additional functionality can be tolerated in the substrate. ... 

The phosphorus ylides of the Wittig reaction can be replaced by trimethylsilylmethyl-carbanions (Peterson reaction). These silylated carbanions add to carbonyl groups and can easily be eliminated with base to give olefins. The only by-products are volatile silanols. They are more easily removed than the phosphine oxides or phosphates of the more conventional Wittig or Homer reactions (D.J. Peterson, 1968). 

These groups, along with a number of other trialkylsilylethyl derivatives, were examined for protection of phosphorothioates. Only the phenyl-substituted silyl derivative was useful, because simple trialkylsilyl derivatives were prone to acid-catalyzed thiono-thiolo rearrangement. Other trialkylsilylethyl derivatives also suffer from inherent instability upon storage,but the trimethylsilylethyl group has been used successfully in the synthesis of the very sensitive agrocin 84 and for intemucleotide phosphate protection with the phosphoramidite approach. 

In contrast, another group35 found that extracts of E. coli contained a mixture of pentulose phosphates at a concentration near 0.3 nmol per mg of the dry weight of cells. The sugars were estimated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after treatment of the extract with phosphatase followed by silylation, or borohydride reduction and acetylation. Furthermore, a partially purified preparation from these extracts catalyzed the synthesis of 1-deoxypentulose...

A recent paper [44] shows that the treatment of silyl thioketones 68 with lithium diethylphosphite proceeds via a thiophiUc attack followed by a thio-phosphate mercaptophosphonate (69 70) carbanionic rearrangement and the migration of the silyl group from the carbon to the sulfur atom leading to the S-silylated sulfanylphosphonate carbanion 71. The last step represents the first example of the thia-Brook rearrangement (Scheme 18). 

On silylation-amination of the disodium salts of inosine-5 -phosphate 238a or of guanosine-5 -phosphate 238 b with benzylamine, the phosphate moieties are also transiently protected during amination by silylation (cf also the silylation of uridine-5 -phosphate 224) to give, after transsilylation with methanol and addition of NaOH, the desired sodium salt of N -benzyladenosine-5 -phosphate 239a in 80% yield and the sodium salt of the 2-amino derivative 239 b in 78% yield [64] (Scheme 4.23). 

In this context, it is interesting to note that the first synthesis of 2, 3 -0,0-cyclic phosphorothioate 22a was reported by Eckstein in 1968 [25], He also isolated pure Rp diastereomer by fractional crystallization of the triethylammonium salts [26] and used it as reference to determine the absolute configurations of the other phosphorothioate analogues [27], 2, 3 -0,0-Cyclic H-phosphonate 20a was used as a key substrate for the synthesis of uridine 2, 3 -0,0-cyclic boranophosphate 27. Silylation of H-phosphate 20a gave the phosphite triester 25 (two diastereomers). Its boronation, with simultaneous removal of the trimethylsilyl group, was achieved by its reaction with borane-A.A-diisopropylethylamine complex (DIPEA-BH3). 

These authors also noted that the electron-donor ability of various derivatives of 2,2-dimesityl-1-phenylethenol decreases in the order enolate > enol > enol silyl ether > enol phosphate > enol acetate. As such, a simple derivatization allows the ready modulation of the electron-donor properties of ends.

The deprotection procedure is based on transesterification of benzyl phosphate into the corresponding silyl ester followed by hydrolysis or alcoholysis. 

The phosphitylation procedure activated by tetrazole led to the phosphite structure (step a) which was effectively oxidized by TBHP to yield the corresponding phosphate (step b). Finally all 2-cyanoethyl protecting group were removed by the action of DBU in the presence of the silylating reagent bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide BSA (step c). The latter is indispensable to secure total deprotection. 

The intermediate formed by action of DBU in the process of yS-elimina-tion (step a) is silylated by BSA to produce a neutral phosphate (step b) which undergoes a second -elimination (step c). The bis-trimethylsi-lylphosphate formed (step d) can be fully deprotected on exposure to water (step e). 

The etiolate intermediate, generated by the addition of higher-order cyanocuprates to enones, has been trapped with several electrophiles. Thus the addition of trimethylsilyl chloride, diethyl or diphenyl phosphorochloridate and iV-phenyltrifluoro methane-sulphonamide affords the corresponding vinyl silyl ethers, vinyl phosphates and vinyltri-flates.

Seong (2002) compared silylated (aldehyde) and silanated (amine and epoxy) compounds from several commercial sources to the performance of an antigen (IgG) microarray. In addition, the efficiency of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.4) and carbonate (pH 9.6) printing buffers were compared. While the various slides and surface chemistries showed differences in their binding isotherms, they ultimately reached similar levels of saturation. Silylated (aldehyde) slides showed comparable loading in both buffer systems. Apparently, tethering of antibody to the surface by Schiff s base formation of the surface aldehyde and lysine residues on the protein was applicable over a broad pH. However, carbonate buffer increased binding of proteins on silanated surfaces. 

The Akiyama group tested various BINOL phosphates 3 as catalysts for the indirect Mannich reaction of aldimines 8 derived from 2-aminophenol with silyl ketene acetals 9 (Scheme 4). All of these Brpnsted acids furnished P-amino ester 10a in (nearly) quantitative yields. Both the reaction rates (4-46 h) and the enantioselectivities (27-87% ee) were strongly dependent on the nature of the substituents at the 3,3 -positions. 

Three years after the discovery of the asymmetric BINOL phosphate-catalyzed Mannich reactions of silyl ketene acetals or acetyl acetone, the Gong group extended these transformations to the use of simple ketones as nucleophiles (Scheme 25) [44], Aldehydes 40 reacted with aniline (66) and ketones 67 or 68 in the presence of chiral phosphoric acids (R)-3c, (/ )-14b, or (/ )-14c (0.5-5 mol%, R = Ph, 4-Cl-CgH ) to give P-amino carbonyl compounds 69 or 70 in good yields (42 to >99%), flnfi-diastereoselectivities (3 1-49 1), and enantioselectivities (72-98% ee).
