Acid/base‐catalyzed cyclization of O‐alkynylphenylphosphonic acid monoesters and (O‐hydroxyphenyl)ethynylphosphinates

In this work, we found that acids (i.e., HCl and NaHSO3) rather than bases could catalyze the cyclization of o‐alkynylphenylphosphonic acid monoesters at slow rates and give phosphaisocoumarins in low to medium yields, whereas the cyclization of (o‐hydroxyphenyl)ethynylphosphinates proceeded very smoothly under basic conditions rather than acidic conditions, and a series of phosphachromones could be prepared in excellent yields at room temperature using K2CO3 as catalyst.

Abstract

In this work, we found that acids (i.e., HCl and NaHSO3) rather than bases could catalyze the cyclization of o‐alkynylphenylphosphonic acid monoesters at slow rates and give phosphaisocoumarins in low to medium yields, whereas the cyclization of (o‐hydroxyphenyl)ethynylphosphinates proceeded very smoothly under basic conditions rather than acidic conditions, and a series of phosphachromones could be prepared in excellent yields at room temperature using K2CO3 as catalyst. This is the first example of the synthesis of phosphorus heterocycles via acid/base‐catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of alkynes. Possible mechanisms were discussed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
