Phosphite-phosphoramidite phosphites

Suitable methods for linking a phosphoms—nitrogen bond to the ayiridine ring are the aminolysis of halogenated phosphoms compounds (2,280—282), the transamination of phosphoramines with excess a iridine (283), the reaction with phosphites (284) and phosphoramidites (285) which have a free OH group, or the reaction of phosphines with a iridines and carbon tetrachloride (286). 

The disadvantage of this method is that the dichloridites and monochloridites are sensitive to water and thus could not be used readily in automated oligonucleotide synthesis. This problem was overcome by Beaucage and Caruthers, who developed the phosphoramidite approach. In this method, derivatives of the form R 0P(NR2)2 react with one equivalent of an alcohol (catalyzed by species such as l//-tetrazole) to form diesters, R OP(OR")NR2, which usually are stable, easily handled solids. These phosphoroamidites are easily converted to phosphite triesters by reaction with a second alcohol (catalyzed by l//-tetrazole). Here, again, oxidation of the phosphite triester with aqueous iodine affords the phosphate triester. Over the years, numerous protective groups and amines have been examined for use in this approach. Much of the work has been reviewed. ...

An extensive paper by Burgada et l. reports the reactions of cyclic phosphites (75 ab) and cyclic phosphoramidites (76 ab) with trans-1,2-dibenzoylethene, methyl fumarate, benzalacetone (PhCH=CH COMe), methyl-4-keto-pent-2-enoate (MeCO.CH=CH.COgMe) and benzalacetophenone (PhCH=CHCOPh)95. These reactions lead to... 

A new structural feature is obtained by replacement of the phosphite donor within BINAPHOS by a phosphoramidite system. Improved enan-tioselectivities were noted, albeit the problem of regioselectivity persists (Scheme 20) [69]. 

A variety of substrates has been used in this type of conjugate addition reaction with trialkyl phosphites, with assorted proton sources.361 384 Other types of trivalent phosphorus reagents without acidic (or conjugate base of acidic) sites have also been used successfully for this conjugate addition process, including triaryl phosphites (without dealkylation),369 phosphoramidites,385 389 phospho-nites,363 380 390 and phosphinites.360 380... 

A remarkable number of chiral phosphorus ligands (phosphoramidites, phosphites, and phosphines with modular structures) have been introduced into the copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of R2Zn reagents, and high enantio-selectivities (>90%) are now possible for all three different classes of substrates 2-cyclohexenones and larger ring enones, 2-cyclopentenones, and acyclic enones. 

The use of phosphite-phosphoramidite ligands 168 a and b provided up to 98% ee in the hydrogenation of methyl (Z)-N-2-acelylarrii noci rinamale, but the activities were rather low when compared to 167 or to the corresponding diphosphine ligand [126]. 

The use of monodentate phosphoramidites in enantioselective hydrogenation was first reported in 2000, together with reports on the use of phosphites and phospho-nites [15]. Phosphoramidites are prepared in a variety of ways, but the most common route is the treatment of a diol with PC13, followed by addition of an amine [60, 61]. MonoPhos (29a), the first reported phosphoramidite used as a ligand, is prepared from BINOL and HMPT in toluene [62]. Phosphoramidites, especially...

The mild conditions offered by the approach of phosphitylation of the anomeric hemiacetals and subsequent oxidation of phosphites to phosphates suggest a very attractive alternative to the 1-0-lithiation method used in lipid A synthesis considering the complexity of the substrates. Indeed, an application of the phosphoramidite methodology was reported to be effective for the stereoselective instalment of the a-anomeric phosphate... 

Pfaltz introduced phosphite ligands 22, with BINOL and chiral oxazoline units, which gives excellent enantioselectivities [47]. In phosphoramidites 14 and 15 (Scheme 7.9) the structure of the amine moiety is crucial, but substituents at the 3,3 -positions of the BINOL unit had only minor influences on the enantiose-lectivity of the 1,4-addition to cyclohexenone. In contrast, the introduction of the two 3,3 -methyl substituents in ligand 22 increased the ee drastically from 54% to 90%. 

Bidentate phosphorus ligands based on BINOL, such as phosphonite 23, phosphites 24 and 25, and phosphoramidite 26 (Tab. 7.2), with various bridging units were introduced by the groups of Reetz, Chan, and Waldmann [48-50]. Excellent enantioselectivities - up to 96% for ligand 23, for instance - were found.
