A catalyst-free, three-component decarboxylative coupling of amino acids with aldehydes and H-dialkylphosphites for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates
摘要:
A simple, efficient, and new method is developed for the synthesis of alpha-aminophosphonates via a three-component, catalyst-free decarboxylative coupling of amino acids with aldehydes and H-dialkyl phosphite. Treatment of amino acids with aldehydes and diethyl phosphite in the absence of catalyst, base, and ligand give alpha-aminophosphonates in moderate to good yields. This method is simple, rapid, and high-yielding. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The application of cerium(IV) oxide (CeO2) as a neutral and heterogeneous catalyst for aldehyde-induced decarboxylative coupling of L-proline with triethyl phosphite and nitromethane is described. In addition, a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of the in situ generated 1,3-dipolar intermediate with benzaldehyde in the absence of a nucleophile is also reported. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
