1. INTRODUCTION

The knowledge of phosphorus compounds has expandedso rapidly that it constitute now a major branch ofchemistry, organic molecules containing phosphorus offerfascinating possibilities for structural, synthetic andmechanistic study [1]. Besides being crucial biomolecules inmetabolic processes, as anticancer, antiviral drugs, immunosuppressives, insecticides, antibacterial, and antifungal [2],vinylphosphonates are an exceedingly important group ofcompounds with important practical applications: e.g. theirderivatives are used as copolymers [3], polymer additives[4], flame retardants [5], are important tools in furtherorganic transformations [6], and are useful in many otherapplications, such as fuel and lubricant additives [7].

Inaddition, formation of varying amounts of vinylic chloridesmay be observed if the reaction is performed by usingvinylic bromides with copper(1)chloride complexes oftrialkyl phosphites. This halogen-exchange reaction may bemade synthetically useful through the employment ofcopper(1)chloride complexes of triaryl phosphites orphosphines (Scheme 1) [12].

2.3. Via Zirconium Complexes

Zirconation of 1-alkynes provides zirconocyles that canbe reacted further to give highly functionalized and complexderivatives. Hydrozirconation of alkynes tovinylzirconocenes followed by transmetallation gives accessto a host of new organometallic reagents that react withvarious electrophiles in a highly specific manner [17].Hydroboration of alkynes followed by Suzuki coupling hasbeen developed over the last ten years into the method ofchoice for the stereospecific synthesis of highly substitutedalkenes [18]. In spite of the great popularity of both thesemethods, it is surprising that they have never been appliedto 1-alkynylphosphonates. 1-Alkynylphosphonates arereadily available by lithiation followed by reaction withchlorophosphates. Subsequent conversion of the metallatedVinylphosphonates by electrophiles would be expected to

In addition, 1-alkynylphosphonate reacts with Cp2ZrCl2/ 2 n-BuLi to give a three-membered zirconacycle Z1 thatreadily inserts aldehydes. Hydrolysis of the intermediatefive-membered zirconacycles Z7, Z8 leads to two products,Z9 and Z10, (Scheme 6). In the major product, Z10, the

aldehyde inserted into C2 of the zirconacycle, while in theminor product, Z9, the aldehyde inserted into C1.ProductsZ10 obtained in 38-75% isolated yields. Products Z9 areobtained in approximately 1-12%. Essentially, onlycompounds Z9 are produced with ortho-substitutedaldehydes. The regio- and stereochemistry of Z9 and Z10were determined by NMR techniques [21].

Furthermore, the three member ring zirconacycle Z1,insert ketones exclusively at C2 to give the five-memberring zirconacycle phosphonates Z11 , which can behydrolyzed to give 2-(hydroxymethyl)vinylphosphonates,Z12, in excellent yield, (Scheme 7) [22].

The preparation of l-(hydroxymethyl)vinylphosphonatesby the reaction of α-phosphonovinyl carbanions bearing β-

alkylthio, β-alkyloxy and β,β-bis(alkylthio) substituentswith aldehydes has been reported [23]. It should be notedthat α-phosphonovinyl cuprates do not react with oxygenelectrophiles. The present reaction, on the other hand, is verygeneral for both dialkyl-, alkylaryl-, and diarylketones. Theyields are uniformly high [13,14].

2.4. Via Lithium Salts

A sequence of reactions involving conjugate addition oflithium diisopropylamide (LDA) to alkenylphosphonates L1

and subsequent aldol-type reaction of the resultant lithiatedphosphonates L2 with aldehydes or ketones produced L3.(Scheme 8). Further elimination products L4 were produced.It is important to note that L4 is readily converted toallenes, L5 , by treatment with a base under Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons conditions. The conversion of L3 tothe 1-(hydroxymethyl)vinylphosphonates, L4, proceeded ingood to high yields [24].

These results imply that conjugate addition of LDA toL6, enabled the formation of the kinetic anion, L7, which isnot stable and is converted to the thermodynamic allylicanion, L9 , as shown in (Scheme 9). This suggests thataddition of LDA to, L6, in the presence of benzaldehydewould increase the yield of L8, because the initially formedanion, L7, may react rapidly with benzaldehyde before theestablishment of the equilibrium with L9. Thus, addition ofa solution of 1.1 equiv of LDA in THF to a mixture of L6and an equivalent of benzaldehyde in THF afforded, after 1 hat -78 °C, the desired product, L8, in acceptable 73% yieldalong with L11, in 11% yield [24].

phenylphosphonous esters in the presence of NiCl2gave a mixture of the corresponding allyl-andvinylphosphonates P2, P3 (Scheme 16) [31].

c) Tanaka et al. studied reactions of alkynes with thephosphonate (4,4,5,5-tetra-methyl-1,3,2l 5-dioxaphospholane 2-oxide), which is most reactivein the addition to multiple bonds. The reactioncatalyzed by Rhodium complexes was shown to becomplementary to that catalyzed by palladium toafford the corresponding vinylphosphonates P4. As aresult, the isomers with E configuration of the doublebond were obtained at room temperature in highyields (Scheme 17) [32].

Reactions with internal alkynes are very difficult tooccur, they take more than 60 h against 13-22 h forterminal alkynes. However, the products P5 areformed in high yield in the presence of Pd catalyst,and the process clearly follows the syn-additionpattern [33].

d) The Cu catalyzed reactions of β-bromostyrenes withdialkylphosphites to obtain compounds possessingsecond harmonic generation (SHG) activity P6 .Strongly polar solvents, KH as a base, and elevatedtemperature are necessary (Scheme 18) [34].

e) Vinylphosphonates P7 were generated in high yieldsby the reactions of triethyl phosphite with alkenylhalides having an alkoxy or diethylamino group onα - position in the presence of nickel catalyst, andanalogous reactions with β-halovinyl ethers or β-haloenamines occur at higher temperature, but theyields of P8 are also fairly high (Scheme 19) [35].

f) (E,E)-1,3-Diiodobutadiene was converted into bis-1,4-(diethoxyphosphinoyl)-1,3-butadiene, P9-P11 inhigh yield (Scheme 20) [36]. Likewise, mono- anddisubstitution products are formed in reactions with1,3-dienyl halides [37].

with dioxirane [58]. Compounds 38 were prepared bystandard Wittig–Horner reaction of tetraethylmethylenebisphosphonate with aromatic aldehydes inaqueous two-phase system [59]. The threo isomers K3a-dwere synthesized independently by the Sharp less approach,using AD-mixes as catalysts for the dihydroxylation of thecorresponding trans-vinylphosphonates 38. The use of AD-mix-β gave preferentially the (1S,2S) isomer. Consequently,the use of AD-mix-α resulted in the preferential formation ofthe isomer (1R,2R). Quinine have been used as a chiralselector to determine the course of biocatalytic hydrolysis oftrans-epoxyethanephosphonates by the action of Aspergillusniger and thus verify the usefulness of method for theevaluation of the stereospecifity of this process. Contrary tothe chemical hydrolysis, biocatalysis gave preferentiallyerythro-1,2-dihydroxyl-akanephosphonates (with only traceamounts of the threo isomers), which were obtained in goodyields and with enantioselectivities strongly dependent onthe structure of the substrate used. At this moment we are,however, unable to determine, which of the two formedisomers (1S,2R) or (1R,2S) is the major one (Scheme 38)[60].

4.4. Alkynyl Vinylphosphonates from Vinylphosphon-ates

The β-hetero-substituted vinylphosphonates 39a-c ontreatment with LDA or LTMP were readily lithiated at theα -position of the phosphono group, and the resulting α -lithiovinylphosphonates were trapped with variouselectrophiles to afford the corresponding α-functionalizedvinylphosphonates 40 in 55-96%yields. The Friedel-Craftsreaction of α -(silyl)- or α -(germyl)-phosphonoketenedithioacetals, the reaction with acid chlorides gave α -acylated phosphonoketene dithioacetals, 41 in 53-91%yields. The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of β-ethoxy-α-(tributylstannyl) vinylphosphonate with a varietyof organic halides (R = acyl, allyl, aryl, etc.) provided β-ethoxy-α -substituted vinylphosphonates in good tomoderate yields. The palladium-mediated cross-couplingreaction of α -(iodo)vinylphosphonates with terminalacetylenes afforded α-alkynylated vinylphosphonates K5 in69-83%yields. Several α-functionalized β-hetero-substitutedvinylphosphonates were applied to the synthesis of pyrazolesand an isoxazole possessing a phosphono function (Scheme39) [61].
