- A Dynamic Equilibrium of Oxaphosphetanes
-
The course of the Wittig reaction was investigated by rapid injection NMR spectroscopy.Rate constants for the formation of oxaphosphetanes were determined.A new dynamic equilibrium of oxaphosphetanes was observed for the first time.The solvent and substituent dependence of the new effect was investigated.By labeling various oxaphosphetanes with 13C and 17O the lithium salt dependence of the new equilibrium was shown.A lithium adduct of oxaphosphetanes under these conditions is proposed. - Key Words: Wittig reaction / Rapid injection NMR / Dynamic NMR / Oxaphosphetanes

- Synthesis of Chiral Vinylglycines
-
(R)- or (S)-benzyl 4-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxazolidinecarboxylate (7a) and (R)- or (S)-1,1-dimethylethyl 4-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxazolidinecarboxylate (7b), readily available from serine, react with Wittig reagents to give alkenes 8.Selective deprotection followed by oxidation of the resulting unsaturated amino alcohols 9 provides vinylglycines 5 of defined configuration (>95percent ee) and double-bond geometry.D-Vinylglycines are obtained from L-serine, and conversely, D-serine gives β,γ-unsaturated amino acids with the L configuration.The double-bond geometry is controlled by the nature of the phosphorous ylide employed.The scope and limitations of this new methodology for the preparation of chiral vinylglycines is examined.
