Journal of Organic Chemistry, 80 (19),[9774][9775][9776][9777][9778][9779][9780] Cyclic phosphine oxides and phosphinamides from di-grignard reagents and phosphonic dichlorides: modular access to annulated phospholanes
AbstractThe reaction between 1,4-di-Grignard reagents and phosphonous(III) dichlorides is a classical method for the direct synthesis of phospholanes. Reported here is an extension of this approach to the preparation of valueadded, annulated phospholane oxides, achieved through the combination of carbocyclic-fused di-Grignard reagents and readily available phosphonic(V) dichlorides. The procedure is amenable to (benz)annulation at both the 2,3-and 3,4-positions of the phospholane ring, and a variety of aliphatic, cyclic and aryl Pelectrophiles are tolerated in reasonable to excellent yields.
