Oa. Attanasi et al., CONJUGATED AZOALKENES .15. FACILE AND DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF NEW 3-PHOSPHONOPYRROLE AND 3A-PHOSPHONOPYRROLO[2,3-B]PYRROLE DERIVATIVES, Synthesis, (2), 1994, pp. 181-184
l-Amino-3-phosphonopyrroles were prepared by direct reaction between c
onjugated azoalkenes and dimethyl (2-oxopropyl)phosphonate while the t
reatment of conjugated azoalkenes with diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate
gives 1,2-diamino-3-phosphonopyrroles or sphono-1,3a,6,6a-tetrahydropy
rrolo[2,3-b]pyrroles, depending on the molar ratios of the reagents.
