Abstract

:
A Pd-catalyzed isomerization-coupling reaction of P-containing allyl chloride with amine afforded imine or enamine that was converted to various functionalized phosphorus derivatives via hydrolysis, reduction, or Stork reactions. The reaction was confirmed to proceed via an isomerization of a starting material and a coupling of the resulting vinyl chloride with amine.

1. Introduction

The functionalized phosphorus derivatives have attracted extensive attention in recent years because of their wide pharmacological and biological applications. For example, α- and β-aminophosphonates are used as antibiotics, herbicides, antifungal agents, and enzyme inhibitors [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. γ-Aminophosphonates and their analogues have been reported to show activity as receptor agonists and antagonists [10]. 2-Amino-3-phosphonopropanoic acid and 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid are known to show potent selective antagonist activities against glutamate receptors, to show antiviral activity, and as herbicides widely used in genetically modified and glufosinate-tolerant crops [11,12,13,14]. The compounds are also widely applied in asymmetric synthesis as important auxiliaries, P-N or P-O ligands, or their precursors, via the formation of chelating five- or six-membered cycles with metallic ions [15,16,17,18,19].
Although the functional phosphorus derivatives are of high importance, the procedures to generate them always involve in multi-step reactions or special precursors, especially for the γ-functionalized phosphonates. For example, Palacios reported the introduction of the γ-amino via an aza-Michael addition to a β-unsaturated imine [20]. Cytlak reported the preparation of trifluoromethyl γ-aminophosphonates by nucleophilic aziridine ring opening [21]. The compounds could be prepared starting from an α-amino aldehyde via a Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction and subsequent conversions [10,22]. Straightforward and easy-to-handle methods to obtain the compounds still remain a challenge to chemists.
The Ullmann-type reactions can be effectively applied in the construction of C-N bonds via the coupling of aromatic halides with amines [23,24,25]. More recently, the Ullmann–Goldberg reactions between vinyl halides and amides have been developed [26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38], which can be effectively used in the preparation of N-containing heterocycles. Normally, the coupling of vinyl halides to an amine is expected to form enamines or imines, which are versatile intermediates for the generation of various functionalized substances. Additionally, the similar coupling between allyl halide and an amine is hoped to afford an allylic amine, which could also be converted to enamine or imine after isomerization. However, to the best of our knowledge, the generation of enamine or imine via a coupling and/or an isomerization reaction of allyl halide has rarely been reported (Chart 1) [31,39].
By means of the strategy of Chart 1, the enamine or imine of ketones, which are normally more difficult to prepare that those of aldehydes [40], will be generated conveniently via the reaction of non-terminal allyl halide. Herein, we reported a palladium-catalyzed reaction of γ-chloro vinyl phosphorus derivative 1 with an amine, which afforded γ-imino or γ-enamino phosphorus derivatives via a coupling-isomerization reaction. The products could be conveniently converted to various γ-functionalized phosphorus derivatives, such as γ-keto, γ-hydroxyl, and γ-aminophosphonates and their analogues.

2. Results and Discussion

γ-Chlorovinylphosphinate 1a was obtained from the addition of H-phosphinate to cinnamic aldehyde and the subsequent chlorination of α-hydroxy allyl phosphinate 2a [41]. As seen in Scheme 1, 1a to 1g were prepared in excellent yields (NMR spectrum as seen in SM, Part 3). The copper-catalyzed coupling of 1 with amine 3a was firstly examined with reference to the reported synthesis of N-heterocycles via the reaction of vinyl halide with an amine [26]. When 1d was heated with the n-butyl amine 3a in the presence of cuprous iodide and a ligand (1,10-phenanthroline or glycine), the coupling product was not detected. Instead, the isolation of α-chloroallylphosphinate 4d’ was obtained as seen the dd peaks at 5.38 and 7.10 ppm on the 1H-NMR spectrum (Scheme 2, NMR spectrum as seen in SM, Part 3) [42].
The palladium catalyst was thereafter examined for the coupling reaction of 1 with an amine. When 1a was heated with 3a in the presence of palladium acetate and triphenyl phosphine (TPP), two products, vinyl chloride 4a and γ-keto phosphinate 5a, were isolated (Table 1). The formation of 4a was proved by a quartet peak of a vinyl proton at 6.20 ppm on the 1H-NMR spectrum [43]. The structure of 5a was confirmed by X-ray diffraction results (Figure 1, as seen in SM, Part 1). Directive allylation of amine 3a with 1a was not detected.
When 1a was heated with one equivalent of 3a at 100 °C for 13 h, 5a was formed with a 46% yield (entry 3). When two molar of 3a was used, the yield of 5a was increased to 67% (entry 4). Carrying out the reaction at 120 °C gave nearly an entire formation of 5a (>99%, entry 6). A decreasing amount of TPP resulted in a reduced yield of 5a. The absence of either TPP or palladium led to an entire conversion of 1a to 4a with no detection of 5a (entries 11–12). The results indicated that the palladium and TPP were essential to the formation of 5a. Palladium chloride gave slightly poorer results than an acetate analog (entry 7). When the reactions were carried out in a polar solvent, such as DMA, DME, or NMP, an unsatisfactory yield of 5a was obtained (entries 8–10).
In a separate experiment, when 1a (together with its stereoisomer 1a’ deriving from chiral γ-carbon) was heated with 3a at 120 °C for 24 h, an entire isomerization of 1a to 4a was observed. When palladium acetate and TPP were added, 4a was consumed partly after 12 h and entirely within 24 h (Figure 2). γ-Keto phosphinate (5a) was obtained after quenching with aqueous ammonium chloride. The reaction of isolated 4a with 3a gave the same results.
The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between 3a and 1a/4a was supposed to form the corresponding enamine 6a and then the imine 7a that was converted to 5a after removing the amine moieties via hydrolysis. As seen in Scheme 3, 1 was converted to 4 when heated in the presence of an amine. Vinyl chloride 4 combined with palladium via oxidative addition to form the vinyl palladium complex 8 that was converted to 9 via the coordination of the amine. The dehydrochlorination of 9 afforded 10. During the reductive elimination of 10, a γ-coupling product was formed. As for 1a/4a, the amino only linked to γ-carbon to generate enamine 6 or imine 7. No formation of an α-coupling product indicated that the reaction proceeded via vinyl palladium species as intermediates (as referred to in Scheme 5, vide infra).
The γ-Keto phosphorus derivative 5 was formed from the hydrolysis of 6 or 7. Although the γ-imino derivative 7 was not obtained, it could be observed by means of the NMR spectrum. As seen in Figure 3, the coupling of 1f with a benzyl amine afforded 7f, whose cis/trans isomers gave four proton signals (HA and HB) around 3.07 to 2.70 ppm. Partial hydrolysis of 7f resulted in the formation of 5f that gave two proton singles of HC and HD at 3.36 and 2.70 ppm, respectively. On the 31P-NMR spectrum, cis/trans-7f gave two peaks at 33.0 and 31.2 ppm. During the treatment with aqueous ammonium chloride, an obviously increasing peak of 5f at 32.7 ppm was observed accompanied by decreasing peaks of 7f (NMR spectrum, as seen in SM, Part 2).
The isomerization-coupling reaction could be applied for the preparation of various phosphorus derivatives. Firstly, the γ-keto derivatives 5 were obtained via the hydrolysis of 6 or 7 (Table 2) [44,45]. The primary amines that contained primary, secondary, or tertiary alkyl groups afforded the same 5a. The coupling of a secondary amine, such as piperidine, also afforded 5a via the intermediate 6. Other γ-keto phosphorus derivatives, such as ethyl phenylphosphinate 5b, diethyl phosphonate 5c, dimenthyl phosphonate 5d, and diphenyl phosphine oxides 5f, were similarly obtained in moderate to excellent yields (NMR spectrum as seen in SM, Part 3).
Secondly, the imine 7 could also be used in situ for the preparation of the γ-amino phosphorus derivatives 11. In Table 3, various 11 derivatives were obtained, from the reaction of 1 with an amine and subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride, in moderate to excellent yields. The amplifying reaction of 1f (ca. 1.02 g) afforded 11fa with a 59% isolated yield. When the P-stereogenic 1a reacted with 3b (2-phenyl ethylamine), 11ab was obtained, which gave two close single peaks at 43.4 and 43.2 ppm on the 31P-NMR spectrum, in the ratio of around 50:50. The two peaks were ascribed to the two stereoisomers of 11ab deriving from the γ-stereogenic carbon atom. On the proton NMR spectrum, the γ-proton was observed as a multi-peak, and the two stereoisomers could not be distinguished. Similarly, the two stereoisomers were also observed for 11ac, 11db, 11dc, and 11dd. However, only one signal was observed on the 31P-NMR spectrum for 11aa and 11da (also for 11ga, vide infra) that contained an N-primary butyl. We believe that the two stereoisomers of 11aa and 11da were similarly formed, but their peaks coincided probably due to the weak influences of the butyl on the NMR spectrum (NMR spectrum as seen in SM, Part 3).
For the reaction of the amines containing sec- or tert-alkyl and aromatic amines, 11 were not obtained. Instead, the isolation of γ-hydroxyl phosphorus derivatives 12 was obtained. We supposed that the imines 7 derived from these amines were instable and hydrolyzed by trace water during the reduction with sodium borohydride; thereby, 12 was formed as the major product (Scheme 4, NMR spectrum as seen in SM, Part 3).
During the above reaction, only the γ-functional phosphorus derivatives were obtained. However, for the P-stereogenic γ-chloroallyl menthylphosphine oxide 1g, a mixture of α- and γ-keto 5g and 5g’ was afforded as observed by the two single peaks at 43.7 and 45.8 ppm on the 31P-NMR spectrum. The reduction with sodium borohydride gave 11 and 11’ also as a mixture, which indicated that α- and γ-imino 7g and 7g’ were formed as intermediates. When 3b (2-phenyl ethylamine) was used, the structures of the resulting 11gb and 11gb’ were confirmed by an NMR spectrum [46].
We found that either 1g or 4g similarly afforded a mixture of α- and γ-functional products. As supposed, 1g or 4g formed the allyl palladium complexes 9g and 10g (Scheme 5), which were different to the vinyl palladium species of Scheme 3. The reductive elimination of α- or γ-carbon (route a and route b) afforded 7g and 7g’, respectively. Compared to 1a or 1f, the alkoxy or phenyl linked to phosphorus was replaced by an aliphatic menthyl group in 1g. Because of the absence of a p-d or π-d interaction for menthyl, the α-anion probably was stabilized and the coupling reaction occurred at this position.
When a secondary amine was used, the enamine 6 was generated, which could be converted to β-alkylated products via a Stork reaction [47]. For example, directly heating 6 in situ with acrylonitrile afforded 13a with a 60% yield. Ethyl acrylate could similarly react with 6 to form 13b (Scheme 6, NMR spectrum as seen in SM, Part 3).

3. Materials and Methods

3.1. Materials

1H-NMR spectra were recorded on a 400-MHz spectrometer (Varian, Palo Alto, CA, USA). The chemical shift for 1H-NMR spectra is reported (in parts per million) relative to internal tetramethylsilane (Me4Si, δ = 0.00 ppm) with CDCl3. 13C-NMR spectra were recorded at 101 MHz. Chemical shifts for 13C-NMR spectra are reported (in parts per million) relative to CDCl3 (δ = 77.0 ppm). 31P-NMR spectra were recorded at 162 MHz, and chemical shifts are reported (in parts per million) relative to external 85% phosphoric acid (δ = 0.0 ppm). TLC plates were visualized by UV (Kang Hua, Shanghai, China). All starting materials were purchased from commercial sources and used as received (Aladdin, Shanghai, China). The solvents were distilled under N2 and dried according to standard procedures. 31P-NMR spectra were referenced to phosphoric acid. The NMR yields of the articles are determined by integration of all the resonances in the 31P spectra. The yields obtained by the approach are generally accurate and reproducible.

3.2.9. Physical Characterization of the Crystals

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for two Schiff base copper complexes, complex 1 and complex 2, were conducted on a Bruker-AXS CCD diffractometer, which was equipped with graphite-monochromated Mo-Ka radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å), at 298 K. All absorption corrections were applied using a multi-scan technique. The structures were solved by the direct method and refined through the full-matrix least-squares method on F2 using the SHELXTL 97 crystallographic software package. The FT-IR spectra were recorded with KBr as pellets in the range 4000–400 cm−1 on a Nicolet 170 SXFT/IR spectrometer (Nicolet, Madison, WI, USA).

4. Conclusions

In summary, the reaction of the phosphorus-containing allyl chloride 1 with an amine could form enamine or imino compounds 6 or 7 in the presence of a palladium catalyst. The reaction was confirmed to proceed via vinyl chloride as an intermediate that was formed from the isomerization of 1. Different to the reported coupling between aryl halides and an amine, the current reaction occurred in the presence of an amine and triphenyl phosphine. The imine or enamine could be converted to derivatives containing various functional groups, such as γ-keto, amino, and hydroxyl groups. When secondary amines were used, the enamine could be alkylated at the β-position via a Stork reaction. Utilizing the current procedure, a wide variety of phosphorus compounds having functional groups were obtained, which we hope will have important uses in biochemistry, pharmacology, and organic synthesis.

a Carrying out the reaction in the typical procedure: a mixture of 1a (50 mg, 0.116 mmol), 3a (25 µL, 0.255 mmol), palladium acetate (1.3 mg, 0.0058 mmol), and triphenyl phosphine (6.1 mg, 0.0232 mmol) in toluene (0.5 mL) was heated at 120 °C. The yield and ratio were estimated by the 31P{1H} NMR spectrum. The peaks at 42.2 and 37.3 ppm were assigned as 5a and 4a, respectively; b The peaks at 25.1 and 21.7 ppm (assigned as H-P species) and 40.4 ppm (unknown) were detected; c Only the peak at 37.3 ppm (4a) was detected by the 31P-NMR spectrum.
