STEREOCHEMISTRY OF SOME REACTIONS BETWEEN ALKYL S-METHYL METHYLPHOSPHONOTHIOATES AND CHIRAL ALKOXIDES

With R-(+) ethyl (or methyl) S-methyl methylphosphonothioate and (+)-pinacolyl alkoxide competitive and highly stereoselective displacements of O-alkyl and S-methyl occur, both reactions being with inversion of configuration.With the enantiomeric S-(-) ethyl (and methyl) S-methyl methylphosphonothioates and (+)-pinacolyl alkoxide the reactions, although still competitive, are no longer stereoselective.In contrast similar reactions with the sodium salt of (-)-menthol, (which might be considered to be the mirror image of (+)-pinacolyl alkoxide) occur highly stereoselectively with the S-(-) but not with R-(+) enantiomers.The displacement of O-alkyl from alkyl S-methyl methylphosphonothioates by ethoxide, pinacolyl alkoxide and menthyl alkoxide is not observed when methoxide is the nucleophile; in this case only displacement of S-alkyl group occurs.
