Lewis Acid-Promoted [2 + 1] Cycloaddition Reactions of a 1-Seleno-2-silylethene to 2-Phosphonoacrylates: Stereoselective Synthesis of a Novel Functionalized α-Aminocyclopropanephosphonic Acid
Stereoselective SnCl(4)-promoted [2 + 1] cycloaddition reactions of 1-seleno-2-silylethene 1 with 2-phosphonoacrylates 2 lead to highly functionalized cyclopropanephosphonate esters 3 in high yields. The cyclopropane products 3 are potentially versatile starting materials for biologically important compounds. Stereoselectivesynthesis of a novel functionalized alpha-aminophosphonic acid derivative
