Asymmetric Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction of prochiral cyclic ketones is of current interest.1-4) Several useful chiral HWE reagents such as phosphonates, [5][6][7][8][9] phosphonoamides, 10) and phosphonoamidates 11) have been developed for the synthesis of olefins possessing an axis of chirality. However, most of these reagents are restricted to the compounds with non-stereogenic phosphorus atom. Although Motoyoshiya et al. reported geometrical selectivity of HWE reactions of aldehydes with racemic phosphonoacetates, 12) the asymmetric HWE reaction of P-stereogenic phosphonoacetates has never been established. Herein we describe a facile synthesis of novel chiral phosphonoacetates bearing a stereogenic phosphorus atom utilizing the enzymecatalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic phosphonoacetates derived from two kinds of Z-selective HWE reagents, methyl bis(2,2,2-trifluoroehtyl)phosphonoacetate (Still's reagent, 1)13) and ethyl diphenylphosphonoacetate (2). 14)Recently, we reported a new and efficient stereoselective HWE reaction of aldehydes and ketones with bis(2,2,2-trifluoroehtyl)phosphonoacetic acid and found oxophilicity of a phosphorus atom of phosphonoacetate 1. 15,16) That is to say, the phosphonate moiety of 1 was found to be more easily hydrolyzed than the ester moiety of 1 under aqueous alkaline conditions. Thus, the phosphonoacetic acid was readily prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of 1 with porcine liver esterase (PLE). Although attempts to hydrolyze the ester moiety of 1 under aqueous alkaline conditions were unsuccessful, reactions of 1 with various alcohols in the presence of triethylamine or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) gave the corresponding phosphonoacetate rac-3a-d as the major product (Chart 1). The similar transformation of 2 using various alcohols gave rac-4a-d as shown in Chart 2. Attempts to hydrolyze 2 under aqueous alkaline conditions were also unsuccessful, though phosphonoacetates 4a and 5-7 were obtained (Chart 2). It can be concluded that the high oxophilicity of phosphorus atoms of these HWE reagents 1 and 2 appears to be necessary for Z-selective HWE reaction with aldehydes. [17][18][19] The phosphonoacetates rac-3a-d were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis utilizing PLE (Sigma, E-2884), as follows. Phosphonoacetates rac-3a-d were dissolved in 1/15 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4) and acetone (9 : 1). After addition of PLE (800 units/mmol), the mixture was stirred at room temperature for the appropriate time. The reaction mixture was treated with 10% HCl and then extracted with AcOEt. After evaporation of the extraction in vacuo, the residue was purified on a silica gel column with CHCl 3 -MeOH as eluent to give the corresponding carboxylic acid 8 and unreacted ester 3. The enantiomeric excess of resolution product 8 was determined by means of HPLC analysis with chiral-stationary-phase (CSP) after methylation with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (TMSCHN 2 ). 20) Unreacted resolution compound 3 was also subjected to HPLC analysis with CSP. As the result of enz...

“…The first total synthesis of (þ)-neopeltolide was achieved by Panek et al in 2007 [7]. Their initial efforts focused on the synthesis of the proposed neopeltolide structure, and they obtained a compound that showed several 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic discrepancies with the data from natural neopeltolide. In order to identify the correct stereochemical configuration of neopeltolide, Panek et al undertook the synthesis of a set of diastereomers.…”

“…17 The stereochemistry of the C=C double bond of the disubstituted a,b-unsaturated amide was assigned on the basis of the value of the 1 H NMR coupling constant between the olefinic protons. 18 As temperature can affect the selectivity in these reactions, 19 we performed several control experiments for the reaction of the phosphonamide 2 with isobutyraldehyde and isovaleraldehyde. The results are summarized in Table 2.…”

The starting phosphonamides are easily prepared in two steps with excellent yields via the standard Arbuzov reaction of trimethylphosphite and a-bromoamides.
