Isocyanide addition to acylphosphonates: A formal Passerini reaction of acyl chlorides

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Acylphosphonates behave as carbonyl components in Passerini reactions with isocyanides and carboxylic acids. Under saponification, the adducts undergo a phospha-Brook rearrangement to form α-amidophosphates. As acylphosphonates are quantitatively formed from carboxylic derivatives, this new reductive procedure allows acyl chlorides to react as aldehydes in a Passerini-type reaction.
