Abstract

Highly functionalized arylphosphonates were prepared by TiCl4-mediated cyclocondensation of 3-ethoxy-2-phosphonyl­alk-2-en-1-ones with 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)buta-1,3-dienes.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Arylphosphonates 4a-l To a CH2Cl2 solution (2 mL/1.0 mmol of 2a,b) of 2a,b was added 3a-k (1.1 mmol) and, subsequently, TiCl4 (1.1 mmol) at -78 ˚C. The temperature of the solution was allowed to warm to 20 ˚C over 12 h with stirring. To the solution was added HCl (10%, 20 mL), and the organic and the aqueous layer were separated. The latter was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography (silica gel, n-heptane-EtOAc) to give 4a-l.
