Synthesis and reactivity studies of α,α-difluoromethylphosphinates
摘要:
The preparation and reactivity of some a,alpha-difluorophosphinates are investigated. Alkylation of H-phosphinates with LiHMDS and ClCF2H gives the corresponding alpha,alpha-difluorophosphinates in good yield. Deprotonation of these reagents with alkyllithium or LDA is then studied. Subtle electronic effects translate into significant differences in the deprotonation/alkylation of the two 'Ciba-Geigy reagents' (EtO)(2)CRP(O)(OEt)H (R=H, Me). On the other hand, attempted methylation of difluoromethyl-octyl-phosphinic acid butyl ester resulted in the exclusive alkylation of the octyl chain. Finally, reaction with carbonyl compounds results in the formation of 1,1 -difluoro-2-phosphinoyl compounds. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Alkylation of H-Phosphinate Esters under Basic Conditions
摘要:
An efficient and general procedure was developed for the direct alkylation of H-phosphinate esters with LHMDS at low temperature. The simplicity of the reaction allows the use of various H-phosphinate esters and takes place with a wide range of electrophiles. The approach can be employed to access some GABA analogues or precursors to GABA analogues. The isolated yields are moderate to good. This is the first report of an alkylation with a secondary iodide or a primary chloride.
