An Efficient Method for the Phosphonation of C=X Compounds

摘要

Reaction of trialkyl phosphites with C=X electrophiles (aldehydes, ketones, ketophosphonates, aldimines, ketimines, isocyanates, isothiocyanates, and activated olefins) in the presence of amines and anilines hydrohalides was studied. We found that pyridine hydrohalides effectively activate the reaction of tralkyl phosphites with various C=X electrophiles: aldehydes, ketones, ketophosphonates, aldimines, ketimines, isocyanates, isothiocyanates, and activated olefins. Particularly high activity showed pyridine hydroiodide. This reaction is a convenient method of synthesis of hydroxyphosphonates, aminophosphonates, carbamoylphos-phonates, carbamoylthiophosphonates, and methylenebisphosphonates.
