Abstract

:
This paper discusses a reaction of phosphorylated α-hydroxyallenes with protected or unprotected hydroxy groups involving 5-endo-trig cyclizations. Various electrophilic reagents such as sulfuryl chloride, bromine, benzenesulfenyl and benzeneselenenyl chlorides have been applied. The paper describes the reaction of 1-hydroxyalkyl-1,2-dienephosphonates with electrophiles that produces 2-methoxy-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphospholes due to the participation of the phosphonate neighbouring group in the cyclization. On the other hand, (1E)-alk-1-en-1-yl phosphine oxides were prepared as mixtures with 2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphol-2-ium halides in a ratio of about 1:2 by chemo-, regio, and stereoselective electrophilic addition to the C2-C3-double bond in the allene moiety and subsequent concurrent attack of the external (halide anion) and internal (phosphine oxide group) nucleophiles. The paper proposes a possible mechanism that involves cyclization and additional reactions of the phosphorylated α-hydroxyallenes.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Functionalized allenes are considered to be versatile building blocks for organic synthesis and that fact has attracted growing attention during the past four decades [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. The synthetic potential of functionalized allenes has led to the development of new and unique methods applied in the process of constructing various functionalized heterocyclic and carbocyclic systems [9,10,11,12].
The reactivity of allenes is mainly characterized by electrophilic addition reactions where the addition products of the reagent in one and/or other double bond of the allenic system are usually obtained [13,14,15,16,17,18]. Functionalized allenes are also very interesting substrates as a material of choice to study the electrophilic addition reactions on the carbon-carbon double bonds [19,20,21,22,23]. Functional groups linked to the allenic system change considerably the course of the reactions with electrophilic reagents and this is the significant differrence from allenic hydrocarbons. One can see [19,20,21,22,23] that in most cases the reactions proceed with cyclization of the allenic system bearing a functional group leading to heterocyclic compounds. This makes the investigation of functionalized allenes, more specifically the study of their reactions with electrophilic reagents, quite an interesting and topical task.
It is known that the 2,5-dihydrofurans and derivatives thereof represent pivotal structural elements in a wide variety of different biologically active molecules. For instance, they can be found in mycotoxins such as verrucosidine [24] and the structurally related citreoviridine [25] as well as vitamin A metabolites [26], polyether antibiotics [27,28], spiroketals [29], and even amino acids [30]. Thus, the efficient synthesis of suitably functionalized 2,5-dihydrofurans by electrophilic cyclization of α-hydroxyallenes [31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44] is highly attractive.
On the contrary, the literature data on the reactions of phosphorylated allenes (phosphonates, phosphinates and phosphine oxides) with electrophilic reagents reveal that the reactions proceed with cyclization of the allenic system bearing the phosphoryl group (O=P-C=C=C) to give heterocyclic compounds in most cases and the outcome depends on the structure of the starting allenic compound as well as the type of electrophile used [19,20,21,22,23]. The reaction of electrophilic reagents with allenephosphonates [19,20,21,22,23] or allenyl phosphine oxides [45,46,47] leads to 2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphospholes or/and 2,1- or/and 2,3-adducts or a mixture of these compounds, depending on the degree of substitution at the C1- and C3-atoms of the allenic system, as well as on the nature of these substituents, and on the type of the reagents. Ma and coworkers [48,49,50] recently observed that the electrophilic iodohydroxylation [48], fluorohydroxylation [49] and selenohydroxylation [50] reactions of allenyl phosphine oxides with iodine, Selectfluor and benzeneselenenyl chloride lead to 2-iodo-(respectively 2-fluoro- or 2-phenylselenenyl-)3-hydroxy-1(E)-alkenyl phosphine oxides with high regio- and stereoselectivities. In [48,49,50] the respective authors comment that this fact is due to the neighbouring group participation effect of the diphenyl phosphine oxide functionality. In recent papers we have reported the reactions of 1-vinyl- [51] and 3-vinylallenyl [52] phosphine oxides with electrophiles leading to formation of various heterocyclic or highly unsaturated compounds.
Our long-standing research program focuses on the development of efficient electrophilic cyclization reactions of 1,3-bifunctionalized allenes [53,54]. More specifically, our attention is drawn to 1,1-bifunctionalized allenes such as 1–4 that comprise a phosphoryl and a hydroxyalkyl group (Scheme 1). The applications of these groups as temporary transformers of chemical reactivity of the allenic system in the synthesis of eventually heterocyclic compounds are of particular interest. These molecules can be considered a combination of an allenephosphonate or allenyl phosphine oxide and a hydroxyallene and they are supposed to have different reactivity profiles in electrophilic reactions. Our recent research has led to a significant result, whereby we have developed a convenient and efficient method for the regioselective synthesis of phosphorylated α-hydroxyallenes using an atom economical [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of intermediate propargyl phosphites or phosphinites, which can be readily prepared via reactions of protected alkynols with dimethyl chlorophosphite or chlorodiphenyl phosphine, respectively, in the presence of a base [55].

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Electrophilic Cyclization Reaction of Phosphorylated α-Hydroxyallenes with Protected and Unprotected Hydroxy Groups

It is necessary to draw attention to the fact that conceptually two distinct modes of cyclization of the phosphorylated α-hydroxyallenes are possible. They depend on the electrophilic atom that forms a new bond with the central carbon of the allenic system, which seems likely [19,20,21,22,23]. It is evident that these pathways are closely connected with the intramolecular neighbouring group participation of the phosphoryl and/or the hydroxyalkyl groups as internal nucleophile(s) in the final step of the cyclization. Besides the 5-endo-trig cyclizations [56] to the 2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphospholes I or to the 2,5-dihydrofurans II, electrophilic addition might afford the 2,3-adducts III and/or the 3,2-adducts IV (Scheme 1).

The present paper is a part of our long-term objective to investigate both the advantages and the limitations of the electrophilic cyclization reactions of 1,1-bifunctionalized allenes.

2.1.1. Electrophilic Cyclization Reaction of the 1-Hydroxyalkyl-allenephosphonates 1 and 2

We started the present study with the electrophilic cyclization reaction of dimethyl 3-methyl-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxymethyl)-penta-1,2-dienephosphonate (1a) with bromine (Scheme 2).

The reaction occurred with cyclization by neighbouring group participation of the phosphonate group with formation of the 2-[(4-bromo-5-ethyl-2-methoxy-5-methyl-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphol-3-yl)methoxy]-tetrahydro-2H-pyran (5a). The cyclization of compound 1a was already reported by Brel [57], although the range of electrophiles used in that case were limited. We decided to optimize the reaction conditions by studying the electrophile equivalents, reaction temperature, time and solvent effect under an argon atmosphere (Table 1).

a Reaction was carried out in the appropriate solvent (10 mL + 10 mL); b Yields determined by 1H and 31P NMR analysis.
It should be noted that when the reaction was conducted in nonpolar solvents like CCl4 and benzene at room temperature, thin-layer chromatography showed that the two reactants still interacted and the reaction was completed within 6 and 8 h with the formation of the desired product albeit with low yields (45% and 34%, entries 1 and 2). When the reaction was carried out in polar solvent (entries 3–13), it was completed within 2.5–5 h and the yields were considerably higher (57%–81%). Lower yields were obtained at room temperature and reflux (entries 1–5). Fortunately, when sub-zero temperatures were used for 2.5–6 h (entries 6–13), the yield improved to 81% (−20 °C for 3 h, entry 6). Solvents such as 1,2-dichloroethane, acetonitrile, and nitromethane (entries 10–13) gave lower yields, even after longer reaction times (4–4.5 h). When 1.2 equivalents of electrophilic reagent were used, the reaction yields were higher (entries 6, and 9–13). Reactions at −78 and −30 °C for 5 and 4 h gave lower yields (77% and 75%, entries 9 and 11). We therefore, conducted the remainder of the reactions in CH2Cl2 at −20 °C using 1.0 equivalent of the allenephosphonate with protected hydroxy group 1a and 1.2 equiv. of the electrophile bromine.
When we used the α-hydroxy-allenephosphonate with unprotected hydroxy group 2a corresponding to 1a as a starting material, the reaction with bromine under the optimized reaction conditions for 3 h results in the formation of (4-bromo-5-ethyl-2-methoxy-5-methyl-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphol-3-yl)-methanol (6a) in 80% yield. We used NMR (1H-, 13C-, and 31P-) and IR spectroscopy to reveal the characteristics of the cyclic products 5a and 6a. Once we determined the optimized reaction conditions, we focused on the scope of the electrophilic cyclization reaction of the α-hydroxy-allenephosphonates 1a–e and 2a–e with protected and unprotected hydroxy groups (Scheme 3) and the results obtained are summarized in Table 2. We have to say that the reaction under this very set of standard reaction conditions in the favour of 5-endo-trig mode affords the 2-methoxy-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphospholes 5a–e and 6a–e to have very good to excellent yields and it does not depend on the nature of the substituents on the allenic system and the hydroxy group, as a result of the neighbouring group participation of phosphonate group in the cyclization. The reaction scope is the following: R and R1 can be H or methyl, R2 and R3 can be methyl, ethyl, butyl, or -(CH2)5-, E can be Cl, Br, PhS, or PhSe, and Nu-Cl or Br.

2.1.2. Concurrent Electrophilic Cyclization and Addition Reactions of 1-Hydroxyalkyl-allenyl Phosphine Oxides 3 and 4

In order to outline the general terms of this methodology, the reaction of the 1-hydroxyalkyl-allenyl phosphine oxides with protected and unprotected hydroxyl group 3 and 4 with different electrophilic reagents such as sulfuryl chloride, bromine, benzenesulfenyl chloride and benzeneselenenyl chloride was thorougly investigated. Surprisingly, once we applied the current standard conditions to the 1,1-bifunctionalized allenes comprising a phosphine oxide and a hydroxyalkyl groups such as 3 and 4 (Scheme 4), the interaction affords mixtures of the 2,2-diphenyl-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphol-2-ium halides 7a–g and 9a–g and the (1E)-alk-1-en-1-yl diphenyl phosphine oxides 8a–e and 10a–e in the ratio about 2:1 in 70%–80% total yield after stirring for several h at −20 °C and for one hour to rt.

The results are summarized in Table 3. These reaction pathways may be interpreted as a result of the concurrent neighbouring group participation of the phosphonate group as an internal nucleophile to give cyclic products 7a–g and 9a–g and the highly regio- and stereoselective association of the external nucleophile, indicating a highly chemoselectively addition reaction of the electrophilic reagents to the C2-C3-double bond of the allenic system with formation of the 1E-2,3-adducts 8a–e and 10a–e.
Thus, the reaction of phosphorylated α-hydroxyallenes with protected or unprotected hydroxy groups with different electrophilic reagents occurs via 5-endo-trig cyclization. Treatment of the 1-hydroxyalkyl-allenephosphonates 1 and 2 with electrophiles gives the 2-methoxy-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphospholes 5 and 6 as a result of the neighbouring group participation of the phosphonate group in the cyclization, while the (1E)-alk-1-en-1-yl phosphine oxides 9 and 10 were prepared as mixtures with the 2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphol-2-ium halides 7 and 8 in a ratio of about 1:2 by chemo, regio, and stereoselective electrophilic addition to the C2-C3-double bond in the allene moiety and subsequent concurrent attack of the external (halide anion) and internal (phosphine oxide group) nucleophiles.

2.2. A Rationale for the Reaction of the Phosphorylated α-Hydroxyallenes 1–4 with Electrophilic Reagents

A rationale for this reaction based on available literature data [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23] and on our recent results [51,52,53,54] is depicted in Scheme 5.

Molecules 19 11056 g005
The starting point is the attack of the electrophile (Cl+, Br+, S+ or Se+) on the most nucleophilic atom of the allenic system of π-bonds (C3) with formation of the cyclic onium (chloronium, bromonium, thiiranium or seleniranium) ions A after attack on the relatively more electron-rich C2-C3-double bond. Then the ions A are easily transformed into the more stable five-membered cyclic ions B via the attachment of the oxygen atom of the phosphonate functionality (path a). Further, the intermediates B undergo nucleophilic attack on the MeO group and elimination of methyl halide (MeNu) affording the final cyclic products 5 and 6 (when Y is OMe). On the other hand, in the case where the 1-hydroxyalkyl-allenyl phosphine oxides 3 and 4 are used as starting materials (Y is Ph), the formation of the final 2,2-diphenyl-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphol-2-ium halides 7 and 9 takes placesince the elimination of an methyl halide (second stage of an Arbuzov type rearrangement) and formation of products with tetracoordinated phosphorus is impossible. The preparation of the(1E)-alk-1-en-1-yl phosphine oxides 8 and 10 as mixtures with the cyclic phosphonium halides 7 and 9 in a ratio of about 1:2 can be considered in terms of the assumption of a concurrent attack of the external nucleophile on the cyclic three-membered onium ion A (path b). The stereoselectivity could be explained by the favorable trans arrangement of the electrophile and the phosphine oxide group and anti-attack of the external nucleophile Nu on the onium ion A. This is supposed to arise from attack on the allenic C2-C3 double bond anti to the phosphoryl group which assists in the cyclization by neighbouring group participation as an internal nucleophile.
The abovementioned explanation should account for the results on the study of the reactions of other bifunctionalized allenes with electrophilic reagents and, more specifically, their stereochemistry. Further work in this area shall focus on exploiting and extending the synthetic utility of the 1,1-bifunctionalized allenes for the preparation of different heterocyclic systems by application of the electrophilic cyclization methodology.

3. Experimental Section

3.1. General Information

All new synthesized compounds were purified by column chromatography and characterized on the basis of NMR, IR, and microanalytical data. NMR spectra were recorded on DRX Bruker Avance-250 (1H at 250.1 MHz, 13C at 62.9 MHz, 31P at 101.2 MHz) and Bruker Avance II + 600 (Bruker BioSpinGmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) (1H at 600.1 MHz, 13C at 150.9 MHz, 31P at 242.9 MHz) spectrometers for solutions in CDCl3. All 1H-and 13C-NMR experiments were measured referring to the signal of internal TMS and 31P-NMR experiments were measured referring to the signal of external 85% H3PO4. J values are given in hertz. IR spectra were recorded with an FT-IR_Afinity-1 Shimadzu spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan). Elemental analyses were carried out by the Microanalytical Service Laboratory of Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy, University of Sofia, Bulgaria, using Vario EL3 CHNS(O) (Elementar Analysensysteme, Hanau, Germany). Column chromatography was performed on Kieselgel F254 60 (70–230 mesh ASTM, 0.063–0.200 nm, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). CH2Cl2 was distilled over CaH2 and other commercially available chemicals were used without additional purification unless otherwise noted. Reactions were carried out in oven dried glassware under an argon atmosphere and exclusion of moisture. All compounds were checked for purity on Kieselgel F254 60 TLC plates (Merck).

3.2. Starting Materials

Diphenyl disulfide and sulfuryl chloride in dichloromethane and distilled in vacuo (bp 80–81 °C/20 mm Hg) [58] were used to prepare benzenesulfanyl chloride. Diphenyl disulfide, sulfuryl chloride, and benzeneselenenyl chloride were commercially available and used without purification. The starting phosphorylated α-hydroxyallenes 1–4 were prepared according to the established procedure [55].

3.3. General Procedure for the Reactions of the Dimethyl 1-(Tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)methyl-1,2-dienephosphonates 1 with Electrophilic Reagents

To a solution of the dimethyl 1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)methyl-1,2-dienephosphonates 1 (3.0 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (10 mL) at −20 °C was added dropwise with stirring a solution of electrophilic reagent (sulfuryl chloride, bromine or benzeneselenenyl chloride) (3.6 mmol) in the same solvent (10 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for several h (see Table 1) and an hour at room temperature. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column (ethyl acetate and hexane 4:1) as eluent to give the pure products 5 as oils, which had the following properties:

4. Conclusions

In conclusion, a simple and convenient protocol for the reaction of the phosphorylated α-hydroxyallenes with protected or unprotected hydroxy groups with different electrophilic reagents was developed. It involves a 5-endo-trig cyclization and 2,3-addition reactions depending on the substituents on the phosphoryl group. Treatment of 1-hydroxyalkyl-1,2-dienephosphonates with electrophiles gives 2-methoxy-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphospholes as a result of participation of the phosphonate group in the cyclization. On the other hand, (1E)-alk-1-en-1-yl phosphine oxides were prepared as mixtures with 2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphol-2-ium halides in a ratio of about 1:2 by chemo-, regio, and stereoselective electrophilic addition to the C2-C3-double bond in the allene moiety and subsequent concurrent attack of the external (halide anion) and internal (phosphine oxide group) nucleophiles.
Thanks to the ready availability of the starting materials, the convenient operation and the usefulness of the resulting 1,2-oxaphosphole products this reaction show great potential and will be useful in organic synthesis. Further studies on the synthetic applications of this reaction and the physiological activity of selected cyclic and acyclic products, and extension of these studies to the synthesis and electrophilic cyclization and cycloisomerization reactions of other bifunctionalized allenes is currently in progress in our laboratory.
