用镁和溴代醇的羧酸酯反应合成羟基酮

人们所熟悉的Grignard反应通常都是分二步进行:即先由镁和有机卤化物制成Grignard试剂,然后再与底物中的官能团进行分子间的反应。对于分子中既含有卤素,又含有可与Grignard试剂反应的宫能团的化合物和镁的反应,则至今研究得很少。已报道的仅有γ-代酮,б-碘代腈和镁的反应,得到环丁醇或环戊酮衍生物;γ-澳代正丁酸乙酯和镁反应得到辛二酸二乙酯。我们首次研究了溴代醇的羧酸酯和镁的反应,得到高产率的羟基酮,结果见表1。后者在已往的合成方法中常有原料难得、反应步骤复杂或产率不高等缺点。溴代醇的羧酸酯很易用环状缩醛经NBS氧化开环得到。由于从理论上来说, 随着缩醛环的大小不同,可以使制得的羟基酮中的羟基和羰基处于任意的位置上,因而本方法可能为从醛出发合成羟基酮提供一个广泛的途径。

N-Bromosuccinimide-Promoted Direct Phosphorylation of Alcohols with P(O)-H Compounds

A mild,green,convenient and scalable N-bromosuccinimide(NBS)promoted direct phosphorylation strategy of secondary phosphine oxides and alcohols for the synthesis of various phosphinate esters was developed.A variety of substrates are well-tolerated and the desirable compounds were afforded in moderate to excellent yields(up to 92%).This reaction is conducted at room temperature without the addition of any oxidant and metal catalyst,which provides a new strategy for the synthesis of phosphinate esters.
