A New and Efficient Preparation of Cyclic Carbodiimides from Bis(iminophosphoranes) and the System Boc2O/DMAP
摘要:
A one-pot synthesis of cyclic carbodiimides which involves reaction of C,C-bis(aryliminophosphoranes) connected by aliphatic bridges with Boc(2)O in the presence of DMAP is described. The method is also applicable when a heteroatom such as oxygen or nitrogen is incorporated into the tether connecting the two aromatic rings. A conformation study has been carried out on carbodiimide 23a, which posseses a central nine-membered ring, using H-1 NMR spectroscopy and semiempirical as well as molecular mechanics calculations.
The new cyclic carbodiimides 3 are synthetized from bis(iminophosphoranes) 2 and Boc2O in the presence of DMAP; similar results can be achieved from the N-Boc-protected bis(iminophosphoranes) and carbon dioxide.
Reaction of readily available macrocyclic bis(carbodiimides) with nitrogen reagents such as ammonia, primary or secondary alkylamines, and alpha,omega-diamino compounds provided a novel class of macrocyclic bis(guanidines), which were isolated as crystalline solids in high yields (74-98%). The crystal and molecular structure of the bis(guanidine) derived from bicyclo[8.8.2]docosane 10a has been determined.
