Efficient Synthesis of (P-Chirogenic) o-Boronated Phosphines from sec-Phosphine Boranes
2015
An efficient synthesis of boronated phosphines with an o-phenylene-bridge prepared from sec-phosphine boranes and using benzyne chemistry is reported. Successive reactions of sec-phosphine boranes with n-BuLi and 1,2-dibromobenzene, and then with boron reagents, afford the o-boronatophenylphosphine derivatives in 71% yields. The use of P-chirogenic sec-phosphine boranes leads to the free boronated phosphines with retention of configuration at the P-center after decomplexation. The reaction of P-chirogenic o-boronatophenylphosphine with KHF2 affords the corresponding trifluoroborated phosphine with ee >98%.
Zur Stereochemie der Oxidation chiraler, tertiärer Phosphine mit Dimethylsulfoxid
1976
Es wird uber den sterischen Verlauf der Oxidation der optisch aktiven, tertiaren Phosphine 3 and 4 mit Dimethylsulfoxid berichtet. Diese Umsetzung verlauft nur in Gegenwart elektrophiler Katalysatoren (Tabelle 1). Je nach Art and Menge des Katalysators zeigt die Stereochemie der Reaktion entweder uberwiegende Inversion oder Retention der Konfiguration am Phosphor an (Tabellen 2, 3); in einigen Fallen wird jedoch fast vollstandige Racemisierung beobachtet (Tabelle3). Auf der Grundlage dieser stereochemischen Resultate werden mogliche Mechanismen fur diese Umsetzung diskutiert.

Experimental and DFT study of the conversion of ephedrine derivatives into oxazolidinones. Double SN2 mechanism against SN1 mechanism
2010
Sulfonation of the N-Boc derivatives of 1,2-aminoalcohols, such as ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, thiomicamine, and chloramphenicol yields a mixture of the corresponding oxazolidinones with inversion (erythro derivatives) and/or retention of configuration (threo derivatives)at C5. We suggest a competition between two mechanisms: an intramolecular SN2 process initiated by attack of the carbonyl oxygen of the Boc group to the benzylic carbon and the other one through a double SN2 process. In the erythro derivatives the first mechanism is predominant, while in the threo derivatives both mechanisms have similar energy. This hypothesis is supported by theoretical c…
Revisiting the bromination of 3β-hydroxycholest-5-ene with CBr4/PPh3 and the subsequent azidolysis of the resulting bromide, disparity in stereochemi…
2023
Cholesterol reacts under Appel conditions (CBr4/PPh3) to give 3,5-cholestadiene (elimination) and 3β-bromocholest-5-ene (substitution with retention of configuration). Thus, the bromination of cholesterol deviates from the stereochemistry of the standard Appel mechanism due to participation of the Δ5 π-electrons. In contrast, the subsequent azidolysis (NaN3/DMF) of 3β-bromocholest-5-ene proceeds predominantly by Walden inversion (SN2) affording 3α-azidocholest-5-ene. The structures of all relevant products were revealed by X-ray single crystal structure analyses, and the NMR data are in agreement to the reported ones. In light of these findings, we herein correct the previous stereochemical…
