F. Palacios et al., SYNTHESIS OF 5-PHOSPHONYL-2(1H)-PYRIDONES FROM PRIMARY BETA-ENAMINOPHOSPHONATE AND ACETYLENIC ESTERS, Heterocycles, 41(9), 1995, pp. 1915-1922
Primary beta-enaminophosphonates (2) are obtained from metallated diet
hyl methylphosphonate and nitriles. Reaction of enamines (2) with ethy
l propiolate and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate yields 1:1 adducts (7
) and (8), respectively. Treatment of monoadducts (7) with sodium hydr
ide leads to 5-phosphonyl-2(1H)-pyridones (1). Functionalized enamines
(8) under go thermal cyclocondensation 1 to give pyridones (9).
