Abstract
tert-Butyl (diphenylphosphono)bromoacetate 3d was readily prepared by brominating tert-butyl diphenylphosphonoacetate 5d. The HWE reaction of 3d with various aldehydes gave (E)-α-bromoacrylates 1 with selectivity ranging from 89:11 to 99:1, typically in yields exceeding 90%. Additionally, the HWE reactions after treatment of 3d with NaI or iodinating 5d produced the corresponding (E)-α-iodoacrylates 7 in yields of 87–100%, with selectivities ranging from 91:9 to 99:1. The products were used to synthesize trisubstituted alkenes through Sonogashira coupling.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
