Abstract

A short approach was developed towards phosphon­ylated benzazepines. Aminophosphonates containing an ‘yne’ and an ‘ene’ moiety were synthesised via phosphonylation of the ­corresponding imines. The key step in the reaction sequence is a domino enyne-metathesis-cross-metathesis.

Synthesis of Derivatives 3 from 4; General Procedure
To a solution of 4 (1 equiv) in anhyd CH2Cl2 (15 mL) was added the alkene (5 equiv). This mixture was refluxed under N2 atmosphere and the second-generation Grubbs’ catalyst 2 (10 mol%) was added. The resulting solution was refluxed for 4 h. The residue was adsorbed onto silica gel and purified by flash chromatography. Synthesis of Derivatives 3 from 5; General Procedure
To a solution of 5 (1 equiv) in anhyd CH2Cl2 (15 mL) was added the alkene (5 equiv). This mixture was refluxed under N2 atmosphere and the second-generation Grubbs’ catalyst 2 (10 mol%) was added. An additional amount of alkene (5 equiv) was added after 2 h and refluxing was continued for an additional 4 h. The residue was adsorbed onto silica gel and purified by flash chromatography.
