Abstract:An efficient synthesis of new γ, δ‐insaturated δ‐lactam and glutarimide derivatives bearing a phosphonomethyl group from a common allylphosphonate precursor is described. Our approach is based on a two‐step procedure involving the preparation of phosphonated‐1,5‐ketoester and −1,5‐diester followed by an amidation–heterocyclization sequence. The first step proceeds via Michael's addition of ethyl acetoacetate and diethyl malonate on an allylphosphonate starting material. The second step consists of a base‐promot… Show more
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.
