α-Amino acetals containing a phosphonate or phosphine oxide group. Synthesis and reactions with resorcinols

Abstract

New α-amino acetals containing a phosphonate or phosphine oxide group were synthesized by the Kabachnik-Fields reaction in the ternary system amino acetal-paraformaldehyde-dialkyl phosphonate (or dialkylphosphine oxide). Condensation of dialkyl (2,2-dimethoxyethylamino)methylphosphonates with resorcinol and its derivatives in ethanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid, apart from the corresponding 2,2-bis(polyhydroxyphenyl) ethylammonium salts, gave 2,5-bis(polyhydroxyphenyl)-1,4-bis[(dialkoxyphosphoryl)methyl]-piperazines. Dialkyl[(2,2-dimethoxyethylamino)methyl]phosphine oxides (Alk = C 8H17, C10H21) did not react with resorcinol derivatives under similar conditions, and analogous ammonium salts were obtained by heating the reactants in boiling trifluoroacetic acid. © 2014 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
