P-chiral phosphorus heterocycles: a straightforward synthesis

Enantioselective synthesis of chiral heterocycles containing both chroman and pyrazolone derivatives catalysed by a chiral squaramide.

An efficient chiral squaramide-catalysed enantioselective Michael addition of pyrazolin-5-ones to 3-nitro-2H-chromenes for the synthesis of chiral heterocyclic systems containing both chroman and pyrazolone derivatives has been developed. This reaction afforded the desired products in high to excellent yields (up to 98%) with high enantioselectivities (up to 96%) and excellent diastereoselectiv...

synthesis of novel phosphorus heterocycles as antimicrobial agents

Phosphorus-Sulfur Heterocycles Incorporating an O-P(S)-O or O-P(S)-S-S-P(S)-O Scaffold: One-Pot Synthesis and Crystal Structure Study.

A new one-pot preparative route was developed to synthesize novel organophosphorus-sulfur heterocycles via the reaction of the four-membered ring thionation reagent [2,4-diferrocenyl-1,3,2,4-diathiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide (FcLR, a ferrocene analogue of Lawesson's reagent)] and alkenyl/aryl-diols and I₂ (or SOCl₂) in the presence of triethylamine. Therefore, a series of five- to ten-membered...

An efficient route for the synthesis of phosphorus-selenium macro-heterocycles.

Four-membered ring [PhP(Se)(μ-Se)]2 (Woollins' reagent, WR) reacts with disodium alkenyl-diols followed by in situ ring-closure reaction with appropriate dibromoalkanes affording a series of unusual nine- to fifteen-membered organoselenophosphorus macrocycles bearing the O-P-Se-Cn-Se-P-O or O-P-Se-Cn-O-P-Se linkage.

Synthesis of Anionic Phosphorus-Containing Heterocycles by Intramolecular Cyclizations Involving N-Functionalized Phosphinecarboxamides

We report that the 2-phosphaethynolate anion (PCO(-)) reacts with propargylamines in the presence of a proton source to afford novel N-derivatized phosphinecarboxamides bearing alkyne functionalities. Deprotonation of these species gives rise to novel five- and six-membered anionic heterocycles resulting from intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the resulting phosphide at the alkyne functional...
