Abstract
A convenient and mild protocol for preparation of α –trimethylsilyloxyphosphonates using sulfamic acid and their oxidation to α – ketophosphonates in the presence of N-bromosuccinimide
Highlights
The major driving force for development of new methodologies in organic synthesis stems from the need to achieve targeted transformations in a convenient and an efficient manner
As a part of research programme in our laboratory on utilization of solid acid catalysts in organic transformations in general,19,20 and investigations pertaining to sulfamic acid (SA)[21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33] in particular, we planned to test the utility of SA as a protic acid catalyst for silylation of α- hydroxyphosphonates using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as the silylating agent to obtain α-trimethylsilyloxyphosphonates as well as a catalyst for their deprotection to regenerate parent α– hydroxyphosphonates (Scheme 1)
Stirring together a mixture of α-hydroxyphosphonate (2 mmol), HMDS (1.6 mmol), dichloromethane (5 ml) and SA (30 mg, 15 mol %) at room temperature resulted in the formation of corresponding α-trimethylsilyloxyphosphonate as the sole product (TLC)
