Abstract

The Lewis acid promoted reaction of o-phthalaldehyde with trialkyl phosphites results in the formation of dialkyl isobenzofuran-1-ylphosphonates, which reacted with various dienophiles, such as N-phenylmaleimide, to give Diels-Alder adducts. The factors influencing the reaction were the strength and amount of the Lewis acid, the solvent, and the alkyl group of the phosphite. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism and rate-determining step were investigated.

Key words

cycloaddition - Diels-Alder reaction - Lewis acids - phosphites - isobenzofuran-1-yl phosphonate
