Route to α-Aryl Phosphonoacetates: Useful Synthetic Precursors in the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons Olefination
نویسندگان
چکیده
A versatile and general catalytic strategy has been developed for the α-arylation of phosphonoacetates utilizing parallel microscale experimentation. These α-substituted phosphonoacetates are widely useful, notably as substrates in the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons-type olefinations. However, the current routes to these products involve harsh conditions, limiting the variety of functionality. The reported method can be used with a variety of aryl chlorides and aryl bromides, including several heterocyclic examples.

[reaction: see text] The weak base lithium 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropoxide (LiHFI) is shown to be highly effective as a reagent for intermolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination of epimerizable aldehydes with trimethyl phosphonoacetate, affording products with little or no epimerization and notably high E-selectivity.

4H-Quinolizin-4-ones are a unique class of heterocycle with valuable physicochemical properties and which are emerging as key pharmacophores for a range of biological targets. A tandem Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination/cyclisation method has been developed to allow facile access to substituted 4H-quinolizin-4-ones encoded with a range of functional groups.
متن کاملOrganocatalytic stereoselective synthesis of passifloricin A.
The enantioselective synthesis of passifloricin A has been achieved in high diastereomeric excess. The 1,3-polyol moiety was constructed by iterative proline-catalyzed sequential α-aminoxylation and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination of aldehydes while the synthesis of lactone moiety was achieved by ring-closing metathesis (RCM).
متن کاملA continuous homologation of esters: an efficient telescoped reduction-olefination sequence.
A continuous protocol for the two-carbon homologation of esters to α,β-unsaturated esters is described. This multireactor homologation telescopes an ester reduction, phosphonate deprotonation, and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination, thus converting a three-operation procedure into a single, uninterrupted system that eliminates the need for isolation or purification of the aldehyde intermediate...
