Triesters phosphonate

Examples of cyclic aliphatic or aryl phosphonate triesters, such as 36 or 37 have also been prepared by this HHT method from their cyclic phosphite precursors (2). 

Recently, good yields of glyphosate have been reported after hydrolysis using tris-trimethylsilyl phosphite in a similar sequence with 48 to generate the disilyl phosphonate triester intermediate 50 (S3). 

The benzyl phosphonate triesters 100 reacted with isocyanates under similar conditions to give the corresponding cyclic urea phosphonate diesters 101 (2). 

An interesting variation of this reaction that made use of a three-component, one-pot solventless procedure with the corresponding trialkyl phosphites gave dramatically improved yields of many heterosubstituted glyphosate phosphonate diesters (37). When exactly one equivalent of water, 25, and tris-p-chloroethyl phosphite were mixed and heated under neat conditions for a few hours, nearly quantitative yields of displaced p-chloroethanol and the desired triester product 27 were obtained. If desired, the displaced alcohol was first removed by vacuum distillation, or the mixture could be hydrolyzed directly to GLYH3. Various oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, cyano, and carboxylate functionalities were similarly accommodated in the trialkyl phosphite. 

In contrast, when excess amounts of the HHTs derived from simple aliphatic glycinate esters, such as 25, were used in excess in reactions with diaryl phosphites (SO), the related glyphosate aminals containing aryl phosphonate esters 46 were isolated in low yield (5-15%). Like many aminals, these triesters 46 were acid-sensitive and were quantitatively converted to the corresponding triester strong acid salts 47 upon treatment with either HCl or methanesulf onic acid (27). 

The rigid, planar pyridine analog 111 was isolated in low yield by first hydrolyzing the known (67) pyridine diethyl phosphonate 109 to the corresponding free acid 110 followed by permanganate oxidation (2). An alternative synthesis of 111 has recently been reported (68). Alkylation of pyridine-2-carboxylate -oxide with dimethylsulfate and subsequent reaction with the sodium salt of diethyl phosphite gave the triester 112, which was readily converted to 111. 

Other interesting examples of proteases that exhibit promiscuous behavior are proline dipeptidase from Alteromonas sp. JD6.5, whose original activity is to cleave a dipeptide bond with a prolyl residue at the carboxy terminus [121, 122] and aminopeptidase P (AMPP) from E. coli, which is a prohne-specific peptidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-terminal peptide bonds containing a proline residue [123, 124]. Both enzymes exhibit phosphotriesterase activity. This means that they are capable of catalyzing the reaction that does not exist in nature. It is of particular importance, since they can hydrolyze unnatural substrates - triesters of phosphoric acid and diesters of phosphonic acids - such as organophosphorus pesticides or organophosphoms warfare agents (Scheme 5.25) [125]. 

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). 

This section is concerned mostly with the enzymatic hydrolysis of substrates classified as phosphoric acid mono-, di-, and triesters, phosphonates, phosphoro(di)thioates, phosphonodithioates, and P-halide compounds. 

Example 41 based upon the early observation that the 0-chlorophenoxy group can be selectively eliminated from a dinucleoside 0-arylphosphite triester [75], Caruthers and associates have used 0-arylphosphoroamidites in the synthesis of dinucleoside ET-phosphonates [76]. 

Phosphonic acid esters are derived from phosphonic acid (often erroneously called phosphorous acid), which is shown with some of its esters in Figure 18.3 Only two of the H atoms of phosphonic acid are ionizable, and hydrocarbon groups may be substituted for these atoms to give phosphonic acid esters. It is also possible to have esters in which a hydrocarbon moiety is substituted for the H atom that is bonded directly to the phosphorus atom. An example of such a compound is dimethylmethylphosphonate, shown in Figure 18.3. This type of compound has the same elemental formula as triesters of the hypothetical acid P(OH)3, phosphorous acid. Examples of triesters of phosphorous acid, such as trimethylphosphite, are shown in Figure 18.3. 

Several chemical methods are available for the phosphorylation of suitably protected saccharides. The following approaches, classified according to the initial phosphorylation product, can be distinguished phosphotriester, phosphite triester and //-phosphonate methods. 

An important advantage of the //-phosphonatc method is that at no stage of the synthetic route, is a labile phosphotriester prepared.1036 1041 1 8 The reaction of salicylchlorophosphite (Scheme 3.19) with a glucosamine derivative furnished a phosphite triester which was subsequently hydrolysed to the //-phosphonate monoester. The latter compound was coupled... 

Not surprisingly the procedures described in Section 3.7.2 for the phosphorylation of nonanomeric hydroxyl groups, that is, the phospho-triester, phosphite triester, and 77-phosphonate approaches, have been applied to the preparation of anomeric phosphates.103d,e 110... 

The O-dealkylation of organophosphorus triesters differs from the above reactions in that it involves the dealkylation of an ester rather than an ether. The reaction was first described for the insecticide chlorfenvinphos (Figure 10.2B), but is now known to occur with a wide variety of vinyl, phenyl, phenylvinyl, and naphthyl phosphates and the thionophosphate triesters. At least one phosphonate, O-ethyl O-p-nitrophenyl phenylphosphonate (EPNO), is also metabolized by this mechanism. 

The addition of 18-crown-6 to a mixture of a 4-nitrophenyl phosphoric triester (or of such an ester of a phosphonic acid) with alkoxide NaOR in ROH causes a catalytic deceleration in the solvolysis, whereas for the analogous thiophosphoryl compound a... 

Hydroxyalkyl)phosphonic acids, and also the related phosphinic acids, are normally obtained from hydrogen phosphonates and aldehydes or ketones. The reactions between perfluoroacetone and mixed dialkyl hydrogen phosphonates are noteworthy in that the expected products (129) may be accompanied by the phosphoric triesters (130). Trimethylsilyl alkylene P(III) triesters (131) are also useful starting materials when acted upon by aromatic aldehydes or by (1-oxoalkyl)phosphonic acid esters, the initial...
