An improved synthesis of α-phosphonoenamines based on a modified Peterson olefination (original) (raw)

Tetrahedron Letters, 2008

Abstract

An efficient, stereoselective method for the synthesis of α-phosphonoenamines based on a modified Peterson olefination is described. The carbanion derived from isolatable intermediate 2 reacts with aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes selectively eliminating in Peterson fashion to deliver functionally rich α-phosphonoenamines 3. The synthetic utility of these enamines is demonstrated by their hydrolysis yielding the homologous carboxylic acids in good yield.
