Abstract
Stable phosphoranes, Ar(3)P = CHCOR (R = C(6)H(5), C(6)H(4)NO(2),
C(6)H(4)OCH(3), CH 3, OCH(2)C(6)H(5); Ar = p-tolyl or phenyl), have been
C-acylated by acetic anhydride to obtain new types of phosphorus ylides.
Synthesis and characterization of six phosphorus ylides of the type
Ar(3)PC(COCH(3))(COR) are reported. The reaction of
\(p-tolyl)(3)PCHCOC(6)H(5)\ (I),\(p-tolyl)(3)PCHCOC(6)H(4)NO(2)\
(II), \Ph(3)PCHCOC(6)H(4)NO(2)\ (III), \Ph(3)PCHCOC(6)H(4)OCH(3)\
(IV), \(p-tolyl)(3)PCHCOCH(3)\ (V), and \Ph(3)PCHCOOCH(2)C(6)H(5)\
(VI) with acetic anhydride in dry chloroform as solvent gives
(ptolyl)(3)PC(COMe)(COC(6)H(5)),
alpha-acetyl-alpha-benzoylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane (1),
\(p-tolyl)(3)PC(COMe)(COC(6)H(4)NO(2))\ (2),
\Ph(3)PC(COMe)(COC(6)H(4)NO(2))\ (3),
\Ph(3)PC(COMe)(COC(6)H(4)OCH(3))\ (4), \(p-tolyl)(3)PC(COCH(3))(2)\
(5), and \Ph(3)PC(COMe)(COOCH(2)C(6)H(5))\ (6). Single crystal X-ray
analyses for ylides 2, 5, and 6 reveal the monoclinic (2, 5) and
triclinic (6) crystal systems. Characterization of the obtained
compounds was also performed by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H, (31)P, and
(13)C NMR. The geometries of these compounds have been investigated
using density functional theory (DFT). In addition, electronic
parameters of these compounds such as HOMO and LUMO energy, Mulliken
partial charge, and dipole moment were obtained. In this paper, the
reactivity of these ylides is discussed in regard to the aforementioned
data. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 21:475-485, 2010;
