Phosphorus compounds, addition carbonyl group

Intermediates such as 224 resulting from the nudeophilic addition of C,H-acidic compounds to allenyl ketones such as 222 do not only yield simple addition products such as 225 by proton transfer (Scheme 7.34) [259]. If the C,H-acidic compound contains at least one carbonyl group, a ring dosure is also possible to give pyran derivatives such as 226. The reaction of a similar allenyl ketone with dimethyl mal-onate, methyl acetoacetate or methyl cyanoacetate leads to a-pyrones by an analogous route however, the yields are low (20-32%) [260], The formation of oxaphos-pholenes 229 from ketones 227 and trivalent phosphorus compounds 228 can similarly be explained by nucleophilic attack at the central carbon atom of the allene followed by a second attack of the oxygen atom of the ketone at the phosphorus atom [261, 262], Treatment of the allenic ester 230 with copper(I) chloride and tributyltin hydride in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) affords the cephalosporin derivative 232 [263], The authors postulated a Michael addition of copper(I) hydride to the electron-... 

One of the earliest attempts to prepare analogues of FA as potential inhibitors involved the synthesis of 2-amino-4,7-dihydroxypteridine-6-carboxylyl-p-ami-nobenzoic acid (612) (in which the change from the structure of FA itself is exchange of the methylene bridge for a carbonyl group, and oxidation of position 7 to a lactam). This compound, which was a surprisingly effective inhibitor, was prepared from isoxanthopterin carboxylic acid (611) by in situ conversion to its acid chloride with a mixture of phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentachloride, followed by addition of p-aminobenzoylglutamic acid (Scheme 3.132) [115]. 

Katti et al. synthesized polyhydroxyphosphines (Stmctures 1-5) by the nucleophilic addition of PH3 or primary phosphines to formaldehyde or other carbonyl compounds (4). The utility of such ligands in the formation of water-soluble transition metal complexes was evidenced in several cases [5]. It should be noted that besides the phosphorus(III) atom, hydroxy groups also can coordinate with soft transitions metals [3, 6]. 

The first examples of diastereoselective additions of phosphorus nucleophiles to carbonyl compounds, applied to the synthesis of natural product analogs, involved carbohydrate-derived aldehydes and ketones. The achieved diastereoselectivity depended on the kind of sugar and protective groups used, and for the cyclic ketones usually higher diastereoselectivities were observed. In the aldose... 

The reactivity of the phosphorus ylide 1 strongly depends on substituents R R. For preparative use R often is a phenyl group. When R or R is an electron-withdrawing group, the negative charge can be delocalized over several centers, and the reactivity at the ylide carbon is reduced. The reactivity of the carbonyl compound towards addition of the ylide increases with the electrophilic character of the C=0 group. R R are often both alkyl, or alkyl and aryl. 

A wide range of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen nucleophiles react with allylic esters in the presence of iridium catalysts to form branched allylic substitution products. The bulk of the recent literature on iridium-catalyzed allylic substitution has focused on catalysts derived from [Ir(COD)Cl]2 and phosphoramidite ligands. These complexes catalyze the formation of enantiomerically enriched allylic amines, allylic ethers, and (3-branched y-8 unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The latest generation and most commonly used of these catalysts (Scheme 1) consists of a cyclometalated iridium-phosphoramidite core chelated by 1,5-cyclooctadiene. A fifth coordination site is occupied in catalyst precursors by an additional -phosphoramidite or ethylene. The phosphoramidite that is used to generate the metalacyclic core typically contains one BlNOLate and one bis-arylethylamino group on phosphorus. 

Bicyclic bridged phosphorinane derivatives can be synthesized by different methods. When phenylphosphine is heated with cycloocta-2,7-dienone to 135 °C in the presence of polymerization inhibitors, e.g. hydroquinone, and the double Michael addition product is oxidized, the two crystalline syn and anti isomers (total yield 48-59%) are isolated. Separation by crystallization gives the pure compounds which can in turn be transformed at the carbonyl or the phosphorus group (equation 10) (75T33,76JOC589).
