Abstract
Kabachnik-Fields reactions of various carbocyclic or heterocyclic acetylenic aldehydes together with subsequent Lewis acid catalyzed cyclizations have been studied. It was found that 5-exo-dig versus 6-endo-dig cyclization mode strongly depends on the structure of starting materials. Thus, nonaromatic acetylenic α-anilinomethylphosphonates underwent gold(III)-catalyzed or iodine-mediated 5-exo-dig cyclization to 1H-pyrrol-2-ylphosphonates. In contrast, electron-withdrawing heteroaromatic substrates formed 1,2-dihydropyridin-2-ylphosphonate ring containing materials via an exclusive 6-endo-dig ring-closure process. The dual mode of cyclization is possible only for α-amino (2-alkynylphenyl)methylphosphonates containing a benzene ring.
