Abstract
The present paper discusses the electrophilic cyclization and addition reactions of 3-(α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)-allenylphosphonates and phosphine oxides. Treatment of 3-(α- or β-hydroxy-alkyl)-allenylphosphonates with electrophiles takes place with 5-endo-trig cyclization and gives 2-methoxy-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphole 2-oxides as a result of the neighboring phosphonate group participation in the electrophilic cyclization. On the other hand, 3-(α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)-alk-(1E)-en-1-yl phosphine oxides were prepared by chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective electrophilic addition to the C2-C3-double bond in the 3-(α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)-alka-1,2-dienyl phosphine oxides and subsequent attack of the external nucleophile (halide anion). The paper proposes a possible mechanism that involves electrophilic cyclization and addition reactions of the phosphorylated (α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)allenes.
