Hydrophosphonylation
In chemistry hydrophosphonylation refers to any reaction where addition across a double bond generates a phosphonate (RP(O)(OR')2) group. Examples include the Kabachnik–Fields reaction, where a dialkylphosphite reacts across an imine to form an aminophosphonate. The reaction is catalyzed by bases and is subject to organocatalysis. Important compounds generated by this reaction include the common herbicide glyphosate. : Hydrophosphonylation reactions *Kabachnik–Fields reaction * Pudovik reaction * Abramov reaction See also * Hydrophosphination Hydrophosphination is the insertion of a double bond, carbon-carbon multiple bond into a phosphorus-hydrogen bond forming a new phosphorus-carbon bond.

Aminophosphonate
Aminophosphonates are organophosphorus compounds with the formula (RO)2P(O)CR'2NR"2. These compounds are structural analogues of amino acids in which a carboxylic moiety is replaced by phosphonic acid or related groups. Acting as antagonists of amino acids, they inhibit enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism and thus affect the physiological activity of the cell. These effects may be exerted as antibacterial, plant growth regulatory or neuromodulatory. They can act as ligands, and heavy metal complexes with aminophosphonates have had medical applications investigated. Phosphonates are more difficult to hydrolyse than phosphates. Preparation Aminophosphonates are often prepared by hydrophosphonylation, usually the condensation of imines and phosphorous acid. In the Pudovik reaction or Kabachnik–Fields reaction the esters of phosphorous acid are employed, e.g. diphenylphosphite. Because these compounds are of pharmaceutical interest, methods have been developed to induce the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Addition Reaction
In organic chemistry, an addition reaction is, in simplest terms, an organic reaction where two or more molecules combine to form a larger one (the adduct).. Addition reactions are limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds, such as molecules with carbon–carbon double bonds (alkenes), or with triple bonds (alkynes), and compounds that have rings, which are also considered points of unsaturation. Molecules containing carbon— hetero double bonds like carbonyl () groups, or imine () groups, can undergo addition, as they too have double-bond character. An addition reaction is the reverse of an elimination reaction. For instance, the hydration of an alkene to an alcohol is reversed by dehydration. There are two main types of polar addition reactions: electrophilic addition and nucleophilic addition. Two non-polar addition reactions exist as well, called free-radical addition and cycloadditions. Addition reactions are also encountered in polymerizations and called a ...

Double Bond
In chemistry, a double bond is a covalent bond between two atoms involving four bonding electrons as opposed to two in a single bond. Double bonds occur most commonly between two carbon atoms, for example in alkenes. Many double bonds exist between two different elements: for example, in a carbonyl group between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom. Other common double bonds are found in azo compounds (N=N), imines (C=N), and sulfoxides (S=O). In a skeletal formula, a double bond is drawn as two parallel lines (=) between the two connected atoms; typographically, the equals sign is used for this. Double bonds were first introduced in chemical notation by Russian chemist Alexander Butlerov. Double bonds involving carbon are stronger and shorter than single bonds. The bond order is two. Double bonds are also electron-rich, which makes them potentially more reactive in the presence of a strong electron acceptor (as in addition reactions of the halogens).

Phosphonate
In organic chemistry, phosphonates or phosphonic acids are organophosphorus compounds containing groups (where R = alkyl, aryl, or just hydrogen). Phosphonic acids, typically handled as salts, are generally nonvolatile solids that are poorly soluble in organic solvents, but soluble in water and common alcohols. Many commercially important compounds are phosphonates, including glyphosate (the active molecule of the herbicide Roundup), and ethephon, a widely used plant growth regulator. Bisphosphonates are popular drugs for treatment of osteoporosis.Svara, J.; Weferling, N.; Hofmann, T. "Phosphorus Compounds, Organic," in ''Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry'', Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2008. . In biochemistry and medicinal chemistry, phosphonate groups are used as stable bioisoteres for phosphate, such as in the antiviral nucleotide analog, Tenofovir, one of the cornerstones of anti-HIV therapy. And there is an indication that phosphonate derivatives are "promising ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phosphite
The general structure of a phosphite ester showing the lone pairs on the P In organic chemistry, a phosphite ester or organophosphite usually refers to an organophosphorous compound with the formula P(OR)3. They can be considered as esters of an unobserved tautomer phosphorous acid, H3PO3, with the simplest example being trimethylphosphite, P(OCH3)3. Some phosphites can be considered esters of the dominant tautomer of phosphorous acid (HP(O)(OH)2). The simplest representative is dimethylphosphite with the formula HP(O)(OCH3)2. Both classes of phosphites are usually colorless liquids. Synthesis ;From PCl3 Phosphite esters are typically prepared by treating phosphorus trichloride with an alcohol. Depending on the synthetic details, this alcoholysis can give the diorganophosphites: :PCl3 + 3 C2H5OH → (C2H5O)2P(O)H + 2 HCl + C2H5Cl Alternatively, when the alcoholysis is conducted in the presence of proton acceptors, one obtains the C3-symmetric trialkoxy derivatives ...

Imine
In organic chemistry, an imine ( or ) is a functional group or organic compound containing a carbon–nitrogen double bond (). The nitrogen atom can be attached to a hydrogen or an organic group (R). The carbon atom has two additional single bonds. Imines are common in synthetic and naturally occurring compounds and they participate in many reactions. Structure For ketimines and aldimines, respectively, the five core atoms (C2C=NX and C(H)C=NX, X = H or C) are coplanar. Planarity results from the sp2-hybridization of the mutually double-bonded carbon and the nitrogen atoms. The C=N distance is 1.29-1.31 Å for nonconjugated imines and 1.35 Å for conjugated imines. By contrast, C-N distances in amines and nitriles are 1.47 and 1.16 Å, respectively. Rotation about the C=N bond is slow. Using NMR spectroscopy, both E- and Z-isomers of aldimines have been detected. Owing to steric effects, the E isomer is favored. Nomenclature and classification The term "imine" was coine ...

Organocatalysis
In organic chemistry, organocatalysis is a form of catalysis in which the rate of a chemical reaction is increased by an organic catalyst. This "organocatalyst" consists of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and other nonmetal elements found in organic compounds.Special Issue: Because of their similarity in composition and description, they are often mistaken as a misnomer for enzymes due to their comparable effects on reaction rates and forms of catalysis involved. Organocatalysts which display secondary amine functionality can be described as performing either enamine catalysis (by forming catalytic quantities of an active enamine nucleophile) or iminium catalysis (by forming catalytic quantities of an activated iminium electrophile). This mechanism is typical for covalent organocatalysis. Covalent binding of substrate normally requires high catalyst loading (for proline-catalysis typically 20–30 mol%). Noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen-bonding facilitates low catalyst l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Glyphosate
Glyphosate (IUPAC name: ''N''-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) is a broad-spectrum Herbicide, systemic herbicide and Crop desiccation, crop desiccant. It is an organophosphorus compound, specifically a phosphonate, which acts by inhibiting the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. It is used to kill weeds, especially annual Forbs, broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops. Its herbicidal effectiveness was discovered by Monsanto chemist John E. Franz in 1970. Monsanto brought it to market for agricultural use in 1974 under the trade name Roundup (herbicide), Roundup. Monsanto's last commercially relevant United States patent expired in 2000. Farmers quickly adopted glyphosate for agricultural weed control, especially after Monsanto introduced glyphosate-resistant Roundup Ready crops, enabling farmers to kill weeds without killing their crops. In 2007, glyphosate was the most used herbicide in the United States' agricultural sector and the second-most use ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kabachnik–Fields Reaction
In organophosphorus chemistry, the Kabachnik–Fields reaction is a three-component organic reaction forming aminophosphonate, α-aminomethylphosphonates from an amine, a carbonyl compound, and a phosphite ester, dialkyl phosphonate, (RO)2P(O)H (that are also called dialkylphosphites). Aminophosphonates are synthetic targets of some importance as phosphorus analog (chemistry), analogues of α-amino acids (a bioisosterism, bioisostere). This multicomponent reaction was independently discovered by and Ellis K. Fields in 1952. The reaction is very similar to the two-component Pudovik reaction, which involves condensation of the phosphite and a preformed imine. : The first step in this reaction is the formation of an imine, followed by a hydrophosphonylation step where the phosphonate P-H bond across the C=N double bond. The starting carbonyl component is usually an aldehyde and sometimes a ketone. The reaction can be accelerated with a combination of dehydrating reagent and Lewis acid ...

Pudovik Reaction
In organophosphorus chemistry, the Pudovik reaction is a method for preparing α-aminomethylphosphonates. Under basic conditions, the phosphorus–hydrogen bond of a dialkylphosphite, (RO)2P(O)H, adds across the carbon–nitrogen double bond of an imine (a hydrophosphonylation reaction). The reaction is closely related to the three-component Kabachnik–Fields reaction, where an amine, phosphite, and an organic carbonyl compound are condensed, which was reported independently by Martin Kabachnik and Ellis Fields in 1952. In the Pudovik reaction, a generic imine, RCH=NR', would react with a phosphorous reagent like diethylphosphite as follows: :RCH=NR' + (EtO)2P(O)H → (EtO)2P(O)CHR-NHR' In addition to the Lewis-acid catalyzed Pudovik reaction, the reaction may be carried out in the presence of chiral amine bases. Catalytic amounts of quinine Quinine is a medication used to treat malaria and babesiosis. This includes the treatment of malaria due to ''Plasmod ...

Abramov Reaction
The Abramov reaction is the related conversions of trialkyl to α-hydroxy phosphonates by the addition to carbonyl compounds. In terms of mechanism, the reaction involves attack of the nucleophilic phosphorus atom on the carbonyl carbon. It was named after the Russian chemist Vasilii Semenovich Abramov (1904–1968) in 1957. Introduction Electron-rich sources of phosphorus such as phosphites, phosphonites, and phosphinites may undergo nucleophilic addition to carbon atoms in simple carbonyl compounds. When fully esterified phosphites are used (Abramov reaction), neutralization of the resulting tetrahedral intermediate usually occurs via the transfer of an alkyl or silyl group from an oxygen attached to phosphorus to the newly created alkoxide center. Conjugate addition is also possible, and gives γ-functionalized carbonyl compounds or enol ethers after group transfer. The use of siloxy-containing phosphorus sources has greatly expanded the scope of this reaction, as the resulting ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
