Abstract

A variety of cyclopropylphosphonates were prepared in moderate to good yields by Michael Induced Ring Closure of trialkyl phosphites with the corresponding β-bromoalkylidene cyanoacetates and malonates.

Key words

Michael additions - ring closure - phosphorylations - cyclizations - carbocycles

General Procedure for the Bromination of Alkylidenemalonates or Cyanides. A solution of 10 mmol of Knoevenagel adduct 2, 13 mmol of NBS and 10 mg of BPO in 5 mL of CCl4 was refluxed under UV irradiation for approximately 2 hours. The end of the reaction was monitored carefully by 1H NMR. Evaporation of the solvent gave almost pure bromoalkylidene malonates or cyanides 4 in good yields.

General Procedure for the Preparation of the Cyclopropylphosphonates. A mixture of 2.5 mmol bromoalkylidenemalonate or -cyanide 4 and 3 mmol of trialkyl phosphite was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere for the appropriate time (Table [1] ). The volatile compounds formed and the excess of phosphite were then removed by evaporation under vacuum and the mixture was purified by flash chromatography or by distillation.
