Two strategies have been developed to synthesize both enantiomers of,
piperidin-2-yl-phosphonic acid The first one uses the double condensat
ion of glutaraldehyde with (R)-(-)-phenylglycinol and; triethylphosphi
te to give 2-ethylphosphonate-6-oxazolopiperidine 2 which furnished in
few steps (S)-(+)-piperidin-2yl-phosphonic acid (5) in 58% ee. The se
cond strategy utilizes the 2-cyano-6-oxazolopiperidine synthon 1 which
upon treatment with trimethyl phosphite gave 2-cyano-6-oxazaphosphori
nane 7 which gave pure (R)-(-)-piperidin-2-yl-phosphonic acid (10) in
good overall yield. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
