P-heterocyclic γ-ketophosphonateswere synthesized by the Michael reaction of methyl vinyl ketone with dibenzo-1,2-oxaphosphorine 2-oxide, 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorine 2-oxide and benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane 2-oxide, respectively. In the first two cases, 50% of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene had to be used that was also required in the addition of dibenzooxaphosphorine oxide to cyclohexenone to result in the formation of the corresponding γ-ketophosphonate. The addition of dibenzooxaphosphorine oxide to less reactive 1,2-dihydrophosphinine oxide was accomplished after activation by an equimolar amount of trimethylaluminum to afford a 3-P(O)<-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophosphinine oxide, which was subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to provide the corresponding 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydrophosphinine oxide.
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.
