Abstract

γ-Amino-β-hydroxyphosphonates, useful intermediates for the synthesis of phosphonic acid analogues of carnitine, were prepared as their protected derivatives in an enantioselective manner from β,γ-unsaturated phosphonates through asymmetric ­dihydroxylation and subsequent regioselective amination via the cyclic sulfates.

The 1.4 g of AD-mix-α, purchased from Aldrich, was used for conversion of 1.0 mmol of the olefin, which contained 0.2 mol% of K2OsO4·2H2O and 1.0 mol% of chiral ligand (DHQ)2PHAL. However, an additional K2OsO4·2H2O (0.8 mol%) was critical for AD reactions of β,γ-unsaturated phosphonates since the AD reaction of 2b in the absence of the osmium salt resulted in slow reaction rates (20 h at 25 °C) and slight decrease in enantioselectivity (54% yield, 30% ee).

The chemical structure of 12 was determined after the conversion into γ-amino-β-ketophosphonate 13 through tosylation, desilylation, and oxidation with PDC. In 1H the NMR spectrum (400 MHz, CDCl3) of 13, a signal ascribed to the Me group at the γ-position was observed at δ = 1.18 ppm as a doublet (J = 7.1 Hz) but not as a singlet corresponding to regioisomeric β-amino-γ-ketophosphonate (Scheme [7] ).
