Oxidative cross-coupling of secondary phosphine chalcogenides with amino alcohols and aminophenols: aspects of the reaction chemoselectivity

Org Biomol Chem. 2021 Jun 16;19(23):5098-5107. doi: 10.1039/d1ob00287b.

Abstract

Secondary phosphine chalcogenides react with primary amino alcohols under mild conditions (room temperature, molar ratio of the initial reagents 1 : 1) in a CCl4/Et3N oxidizing system to chemoselectively deliver amides of chalcogenophosphinic acids with free OH groups. Under similar conditions, mono-cross-coupling between secondary phosphine chalcogenides and 1,2- or 1,3-aminophenols proceeds only with the participation of phenolic hydroxyl to give aminophenylchalcogenophosphinic O-esters. The yields of the synthesized functional amides or esters are 60-85%.
