A convenient synthesis of phosphonic analogues of pipecolic acid and its heterocyclic analogues is reported. The major step of the elaborated procedure is the introduction of the phosphonate group into the skeleton of the appropriate cyclic amide through N‐acyliminium ions. The former ones were obtained by preparation of the hemiaminals or their methyl ethers from the N‐protected cyclic amides. Finally, the reaction with trimethyl phosphite in the presence of BF3·OEt2 afforded the desired phosphonates, which were converted into phosphonic acids by the hydrolysis of phosphonate moiety with simultaneous cleavage of the nitrogen protecting groups.
The
reaction of the title lactams with triethyl phosphite prompted
by phosphoryl chloride provided six-membered ring heterocyclic phosphonates
or bisphosphonates. These novel scaffolds might be of interest as
building blocks in medicinal chemistry. The course of the reaction
was dependent on the structure of the used substrate. Thus, morpholin-3-one
and thiomorpholin-3-one readily provided the corresponding 1,1-bisphosphonates
(compounds
1
,
2
,
7
,
14
and
16
), whereas the protection of their nitrogen atom
resulted in the formation of dehydrophosphonates (compounds
5
,
6
, and
8
). Piperazin-2-one reacted
differently yielding mixture of
cis
- and
trans
- piperazine-2,3-diyl-bisphosphonates (compounds
10
and
11
). Since cytosine could be considered
as an analogue of piperin-2-one, its ditosyl derivative
18
was used as a substrate affording compound
19
being
a product of phosphite addition to double bond. In dependence of their
structures, hydrolysis of the obtained diethyl phosphonates resulted
either in corresponding cyclic phosphonic acids or in the degradation
of carbon-to-phosphorus bond.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
