F. Palacios et al., A SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT STRATEGY FOR THE PREPARATION OF 5-PHOSPHORYLATED IMIDAZOL-2-ONES FROM PRIMARY BETA-ENAMINOPHOSPHONATES, Tetrahedron, 54(10), 1998, pp. 2281-2288
An easy and efficient synthesis of imidazol-2-ones 5 substituted with
a phosphonate group in the 5-position is described. The key step is a
heterocyclization of functionalized enamines 3. These compounds 3 are
formed by addition of primary beta-enaminophosphonates 1 to diethyl'az
odicarboxylate 2. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
