(i-PrO)(2)P(=O)COSEt (1) reacted with NH2OH in pyridine at room temperature to give mainly (i-PrO)(2)P(=O)NH2 (4). The formation of 4 was interpreted in terms of a spontaneous Lessen rearrangement of (i-PrO)(2)P(=O)CONHOH (2a) formed in the reaction. A transient (PNMR)-P-31 signal appearing in the reaction mixture at delta -1.8 was assigned to 2a. Trapping of (i-PrO)(2)P(=O)N=C=O (5), formed in the reaction of 1 and NH2OH, by cyclohexylamine gave (i-PrO)(2)P(=O)NHCONHC6H11 (6). Attempted isolation of 6 gave the hydrolyzed product N-cyclohexylurea (7). The reaction of 1 with NH2OMe proceeded slower than that with NH2OH and gave the expected (i-PrO)(2)P(=O)CONHOMe (2b), which was isolated and identified. 2b converts slowly to 4 in pyridine at room temperature. In contrast, MeNHOH reacted rapidly with 1 and gave the stable crystalline (i-PrO)(2)P(=O)CON(Me)OH (2c). The structure of hydroxamates 2 were assigned on the basis of H-1, C-13, and P-31 NMR spectral data. This facile Lossen rearrangement is discussed in terms of the unusually high migratory aptitude of the phosphonyl group.
