Foreword

The volume of published work in organophosphorus chemistry has again increased, and several Reporters have had great difficulty in keeping within their allotted space. Much, but not all, of the research has been of a routine and predictable nature. The stimulus provided by the discovery of phosphonomycin is still being felt. It would be interesting to know just how many research projects and proposals have been linked, however tenuously, to this phosphorus-containing antibiotic. Six-co-ordinate species are being identified more frequentIy. Some are remarkably stable and have been isolated, whereas the intermediacy of others in reactions has been inferred from kinetic data. Clearly, much more will be heard of these. Finally, on the instrumental front, Fourier-transform 31Pn.m.r. spectroscopy is proving to be a very powerful tool for the detection and study of unstable intermediates, for example in Arbusov reactions, and one can look forward to the solution of many long-standing problems in organophosphorus chemistry using this technique. We hope to report on some of these in Volume 9. S.Trippett

Treatment of phosphorus trichloride with an excess of the Grignard reagent (4) leads to the sterically hindered phosphine (5).4 A sample of 14C-labelledtriethylphosphine has been synthesized from 14C-labelledethylmagnesium iodide and phosphorus trichloride.6 The reaction of chlarodiphenylphosphine with the Grignard

reagent derived from 2,2’-dibromobibenzyl in THF solution leads to the diphosphine (6),which is dehydrogenated by various rhodium complexes to form trans-2,2’diphenylphosphinostilbene (7).6 1 3 4

The reaction of halogenophosphines with esters of trialkylstannylacetic acids gives grouping. Diphosphinoacetic acid esters (8) can be prepared from the monophosphino-esters by treatment with sodium and dialkylchlorophosphines.*

From Metallated Phosphines. The synthesis of polymeric tertiary phosphines based on the reaction of lithium diphenylphosphide with chloromethylated polystyrenes continues to attract interest. lo Considerable breakdown of the carbon-carbon back-bone of PVC occurs on reaction with lithium diphenylphosphide in THF, and only oligomers of low molecular weight resulf.ll The potassium salt (9) reacts with chloromethylated polystyrene to form the polymeric diphosphine (lO).la g3

The cu-chloroalkyldiphenylphosphines(1 1) have been prepared by the reaction of equimolar quantities of sodium diphenylphosphide with ao-dichloroalkanes, Whereas the phosphine (11 ;n = 3) can be converted into the Grignard reagent (12), which reacts with dimethylchlorophosphine to form the unsymmetrical diphosphine (1 3), the Grignard reagent (14) undergoes a B-elimination reaction to regenerate diphenylphosphide i011.l~ M.

Organosilylphosphines are conveniently prepared by cleavage of alkyldiarylphosphines with lithium in THF, followed by treatment with chlorotrimethylsilane,15 and tris(trimethylsily1)phosphine has been prepared from the reaction of chlorotrimethylsilanewith a mixture of sodium and potassium phosphides.ls The product of the reaction between lithium diphenylphosphide (or trimethylsilyldiphenylphosphine)and dimethyl 2,3-dichloromaleate has been shown to be the fumarate (17) l7 and not (as previously supposed)l 8 the expected maleate (1 8).

Nucleophilic displacement of halide ion from a saturated carbon atom by alkalimetal diphenylphosphide reagents occurs with inversion of configuration at carbon, as is found in normal sN2 displacements.lBThus menthyl chloride or bromide gives the neo-menthyldiphenylphosphine (1 9). An improved procedure has been reported for the synthesis of the C-functionalized tertiary phosphine (20), based on the reaction of potassium diphenylphosphidewith ethyl chloroacetate.20 K. K.

Two reports of the hitherto little documented attack of organophosphide anions on halogen have appeared. Addition of 1,Zdibromoalkenes to lithium diphenylphosphide in THF gives an acetylene and tetraphenyldiphosphine21 (Scheme 1).

In the corresponding reactions of o-dihalogenobenzenes, attack on halogen, leading to the generation of benzyne, competes with attack at carbon, leading to the a-halogenophenyldiphenylphosphine (21). Further attack of phosphide on the halogen of the latter gives the anion (22), which on treatment with D,O gives the ortho-deuterated phosphine (23) (Scheme 2). Lithium diphenylphosphidereacts with the benzynefuran adduct (24) to give, after dehydration, a mixture of 1- and 2diphenylphosphinonaphthalenes.22

By Addition ofP-H to Unsaturated Compounds.This route continues to be exploited for the synthesis of polydentate tertiary phosphine ligands. Thus base-catalysed addition of diphenylvinylphosphine to the secondary phosphine (25) affords (26).23 Neopentylpolytertiaryphosphines, e.g. (27), have been similarly prepared 24 by addition of primary or secondary phosphines to vinylphosphines (or the related phosphine sulphides, followed by a desulphurization step).

Free-radical-catalysed additions have also been reported, and provide a genuine alternative to the more familiar base-catalysed addition routes. Thus the secondary diphosphine (28) readily adds to diphenylvinylphosphinein the presence of AIBN to give (29).2sSimilarly, addition of di(pentafluoropheny1)phosphine to diphenylvinylphosphine affords26 the diphosphine (30). Sequential addition of silanes and secondary phosphines to terminal cto-dienes under the influence of U.V. light affords the silylalkylphosphines (31), which may be anchored via silicon to the surface of inorganic oxides and used as polymeric catalysts.27 PhP(H) (CHz)3P(€~) Ph

Addition of P-H bonds to unsaturated systems also continues to be used as a route to heterocyclic systems. Thus base-catalysed cyclization of the phosphine (32) [prepared by the addition of methyl methacrylate (2 moles) to phenylphosphine], followed by subsequent hydrolysis and decarboxylation, affords the phosphorinanone (33). The phosphorinanone system is also directly accessible by the addition of phenylphosphine to divinyl ketones.28 The radical-initiated addition of phenylphosphine to dialkynyl systems (34) gives the heterocyclohexadienes (35).”9 30 The stereochemistry of the addition of phenylphosphine to cyclo-octa-2,7-dienoneto give 23 24

A cautionary note has appeared concerning the use of sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminium hydride as a reducing agent in phosphorus chemistry. The use of this reagent is severely limited by the enhanced alkylating ability of the ether groups. Thus the reduction of chlorodiphenylphosphine gives a mixture of diphenylphosphine, methyldiphenylphosphine, and 2-hydroxyethyldiphenylpho~phine.~~ Lithium aluminium hydride has been employed in the reduction of the a-phosphinylalkyldiorganostannanes (46) to the phosphines (47), which are useful precursors for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds containing both tin and phosphorus as ring members.39

(ii) Miscellaneous. Nucleophilic attack of dimethylphosphine (or tetramethyldiphosphine) occurs at the terminal olefinic carbon of hexafluoropropene to give a mixture of cis-and trans-dimethylpentafluoropropenylphosphines(66) in proportions which depend on the reaction conditions.s6The products do not arise by dehydrofluorination of a 1:1 adduct.

Further evidence of anchimeric assistance between the oxygen 2p orbitals of the o-methoxyphenyl group and the 3d orbitals of the developing phosphonium centre has been obtained in studies of the rate of quaternization of the phosphine (67). However, the presence at phosphorus of ferrocenyl substituents which are capable of conjugative stabilization of the developing phosphonium centre does not lead to a marked increase in the rate of quaternization of tertiary phosphines [e.g. (68)], supporting the concept that the transition state for the s N 2 reaction of a tertiary phosphine with an alkyl halide lies closer to the reactants rather than to the products in the energy profile diagram.67 Ring opening of diphenylthiiren 1,l-dioxide58 and diphenylcyclopropenonesD occurs on reaction with tertiary phosphines to form the betaines (69) and the keten phosphoranes (70),respectively.

Organophosphorus Chemistry

Nucleophilic Attack at Halogen. The reactions of tertiary phosphines, in particular triphenylphosphine and TDAP, with tetrahalogenomet hanes continue to attract much interest. Recent progress in understanding the course of the reactions occurring between triphenylphosphine,carbon tetrachloride, and a substrate, and the preparative applications of tertiary phosphine-carbon tetrachloride ‘reagents’, have been reviewed.s1 In reactions employing these reagents, the reactions of the substrate compete with the ‘internal’ reactions of the two-component system, so that the overall course is much more complex than previously assumed. The first isolable product in the reaction of triphenylphosphineand carbon tetrachloride is the salt (73), which reacts rapidly with further phosphine to give the stable phosphorane (74).62In contrast, tris-t-butylphosphinereacts with germanium and tin tetrahalides to form the salts (75);6s compounds of the latter type have long been postulated as arising from the reactions of phosphines with carbon tetrahalides but so far have defied detection.

Two routes for the reaction of substrate with the triphenylphosphine-carbon tetrachloride reagent are now 62* 64 Direct interaction (76) of the substrate with the initially formed dipolar associate leads to the formation of chloroform and the intermediate phosphonium salt (77).

Direct chlorination of the substrate by the dichlorotriphenylphosphorane present in the reaction mixture competes with the above route. The HCl liberated is taken up by the dichloromethylenetriphenylphosphorane also present to form dichloromethyltriphenylphosphonium chloride (78), which reacts further with triphenylphosphine with the eventual formation of chloromethyltriphenylphosphonium 61 62

This route, which does not lead to the formation of chloroform appears to be followed to the extent of 95% in the reactions of enolizable ketones with the triphenylphosphine-carbon tetrachloride reagent.s4 The phosphonium salts (78) and (79) precipitate from the reaction mixtures. Such precipitates observed earlier in other reactions have been referred to as triphenylphosphine oxide and/or triphenylyhosphine hydrochloride without characterization.s6 In spite of the above complexity, exploitation of these reagents in synthesis continues.

Variation in the rate data for tri-o-tolylphosphine and tri-o-anisylphosphine is best explained in terms of a steric effect rather than a special electronic effect arising from interactions of the methoxy-group with the phosphonium centre (cf: ref. 57).

Reactions.-Alkaline Hydrolysis. The first total resolution of a heterocyclic phosphonium salt containing an asymmetric phosphorus atom (128) has been reported, providing ready access to optically active phospholan derivatives of value for studies of the stereochemistry of nucleophilic displacement at phosphorus.124Alkaline hydrolysis of (128) proceeds with retention of configuration at phosphorus to form the oxide (129). Stereochemical studies in the phospholan series have also been facilitated by the X-ray in~estigationl~~ of an isomer of l-iodomethyl-l-pheny1-3methylphospholanium iodide, which is shown to have the structure (130).

Alkaline hydrolysis of methoxyphospholanium salts [e.g.(13l)] occurs with partial retention and partial inversion of configuration at phosphorus, whereas hydrolysis of the corresponding pliosphorinanium salts [e.g. (132)] occurs with complete inversion. In the phosphorane intermediates derived from the former, stereoelectronic strain (which tends to place methoxide in an apical position) and ring strain (which directs the ring to span apical-equatorial positions) are of comparable magnitude when methoxide is the leaving group.

Phosphines and Phosphonium Salts

Aryl migration reactions in the hydrolysis of vinyl-phosphonium salts (134) continue to be studied, with particular reference to the role played by the substituent Z . When the latter is able to stabilize an adjacent carbanion (e.g. COAr,131 SR132),aryl migration from phosphorus to adjacent carbon occurs to form the rearrangement products (135), as established by earlier workers. When Z is less strongly electron-withdrawing (e.g. OR), rearrangement does not occur, and simple loss of phenyl or the vinylic substituent depending on the conditions. The previously accepted mechanism for aryl migration, involving intramolecular collapse of the phosphorane (136), has been criticized, and an alternative route involving the ylide (137) and the carbenoid phosphorane (138) suggested.132

3 Phospholes A detailed review of the literature relating to the problem of phosphole aromaticity has appeared,148and the past year has seen the publication of several more papers on this theme. A theoretical approach, coupled with the results of photoelectron spectroscopy, confirms that phospholes (163), despite their pyramidal structure at phosphorus, are ‘aromatic’ systems. The ‘aromatic’ stabilization relative to the conjugatively interrupted cis-butadiene and PR sub-units is gained from nn* conjugative and P-C/n* hyperconjugative interactions between the sub-units. These interactions appear not to be accompanied by appreciable n-charge transfer (i.e. electron delocalization) from the PR sub-unit to the diene sub-unit, mainly due to In an alternative theostrong electron acceptance by the phosphorus 3d 0rbita1s.l~~ retical the electronic structure of phosphole itself (163; R = H) has been compared with those of furan, thiophen, and pyrrole by the non-empirical LCGO procedure. The results indicate (i) that phosphole will have a non-planar structure, (ii) that the phosphorus 3d orbitals behave as polarization functions rather than strongly bonding functions, and (iii) that phosphole has no resonance energy, the two most stable n M.O.’s being as in butadiene, suggestingat least a non-aromatic character. It is clear that phosphole is much less aromatic than other heterocyclopentadienes. The low inversion barriers measured for phospholes, previously taken to indicate delocalization of the phosphorus lone pair, can be accounted for without reference to aromatic character. In a related paper,151it is predicted that phosphole is likely to be isolated as a Diels-Alder dimer, due to its high dienic character. Theoretical studies have also been made to compare the valence ionization potentials of phosphole and pyrrole.162 5-Phenyl-dibenzophosphole (1 64) results from the reaction of tetraphenylphosphonium chloride with certain lithium dialkylamides;a free-radical mechanism

Examples include (2), formed from dineopentyl phosphonite and pinaco1,l and (3), formed by the addition of phenols to phosphorus(rI1) species.2p3

X = 0 or NH; R1= Me,Et, or Ph; R2= H, 0-NIi,, or 0-OH

Such phosphoranes are potential reducing agents; mild oxidation of (4), or rleat ng, gives the spirophosphorane (5) whereas (6) is slowly transformed into the spirophosphorane (7) at 0 0C.3 In general, cyclic PH-phosphoranes of structure (8) are in equilibrium in solution with the phosphorus(Ir1) species (9).3

Although the phosphoranes (1) so far detected are all stabilized by the presence of a ring, acyclic analoguespresumably exist in solution, and there are clearly interesting 1 2

Electron diffraction has shown12that (CF3)zPC13is trigonal bipyramidal, with both trifluoromethyl groups apical and the fluorines staggeredwith respect to the equatorial chlorines whereas (CF,),PCl, has distorted trigonal-bipyramidalgeometry, with two apical trifluoromethyl groups. Ab initio SCF calculation^^^ on the series PHnFs-n and extended Huckel calculat i o n ~ on ~ * this series and on PMenF5-n have been reported. The latter trace the increasing apical PF bond length on successive replacement of equatorial fluorines by hydrogen or methyl to an increasing repulsive interaction between fluorine lonepairs and equatorial 0-bonds. Ab initio calculationsl5 on Berry pseudorotation and turnstile rotation in PH5gave free energies of activation of 1.95 and 10.05 kcal mol-1 respectively, and led to the conclusion that, in structurally flexible phosphoranes, turnstile rotation is a vibrationally excited mode of Berry pseudorotation. Calculationsla on phosphoranes of the general structure (17) show that square-pyramidal geometry is favoured by enhanced electronegativity in X and Y and by enhanced electropositivity in Z. Mixed hetero-ring atoms favour trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.

acetonitrile have allowed the calculation, on the basis of a number of necessary assumptions, of the equilibrium constants Kl and K227 [equations (1) and (2)]. For

PhP(OPh), Kl = (3 k 5 ) x 10-lo and K 2< 1 x moll-l. In general, the more oxygens attached to phosphorus the less the dissociation of the phenoxyphosphorane. The rate constants for the dissociation of a number of the phenoxyphosphoranes(26) were obtained from a study of thevariable-temperature n.m.r. of equimolar mixtures of the phosphoranes and the related phosphonium triflates Rnh(OPh)4-nCF3S03-.28 Together with the equilibrium constants Kl for these dissociations, these led to the conclusion that the reactions of the cations Rn$(OPh),-% with phenoxide ion in acetonitrile proceed with the speed of collision. 4 Four-membered Rings Details have appeared of the preparation and variable-temperature n.m.r. of the difluorophosphoranes (27), (29), and (30).29Only with (27) was the conformer (28), with a diequatorial four-membered ring, detected at low temperatures.

were rapid in the case of the chloro- and dimethylamino-analogues. The formation of the phosphorane from (101;R = OMe) and diethyl peroxides was less rapid than in the case of triethyl phosphite.

The 1,3,2-0xazaphosphorines(105)were obtained from triaryl phosphites and the 3-cyano-3-halogenosuccinimides (104).66Because of their negative slP chemical

3 Halogenophosphines and Related Compounds BY J. A. MILLER

1 Halogenophosphines The chemistry of the PIII-halogen bond continues to attract a good deal of attention. Unfortunately, much of the effort is undistinguished, and the best work has often been concerned with tidying up old reactions, rather than with breaking new ground. Physical and Structural Aspects.-Perhaps the most significant theoretical paper comes from an application of pseudopotential SCF methods to PX3 molecules.1 This method neglects core orbitals, and hence shortens computer-time requirements, in comparison with more conventional SCF calculations. The results1are really most encouraging, and compare favourably with standard SCF results, in relation to experimental values for bond angles and lengths, and for dipole moments. Photoelectron spectra have been obtained by three different groups working with halogenophosphine~,~-*and binding energies discussed in terms of electronic structure. Thus, for the trifluoromethyl derivatives(I), the ionization potential for the lone pair on phosphorus decreases steadily as n changes from n = 3 through to n = 0,2 in keeping with the high electronegativity for the trifluoromethyl group. The relatively high binding energy of the lone pair in phosphine is possibly related to its high s-character, as indicated by the small HPH bond angle. Other work in this field has been directed at simple phosphorus trihalides and their oxides and sulp h i d e ~while , ~ various methylphosphine derivatives have also been ~ t u d i e d . ~

Halogenophosphines and Re lafed Compoiirids

51

Miscellaneous spectral studies include e.s.r. spectra of chloro-phosphines(2) and vibrational spectra of various phosphines.6-8N.m.r. studies include those of borane complexes of aryldichloropho~phines,~ and studies of the conformation of dichloro(isopropy1)phosphine (3) lo and dichloro(ethy1)phosphine (4).1° These phosphines have the preferred conformations shown. Conformation has also been the theme of electron-diffraction work on the anhydride (3,which appears to have a staggered conformation.ll The electronic implications of a relatively short P - 0 bond and wide POP angle have been discussed.ll The basicity of halogenophosphines has attracted some attention this year. A careful study of the protonation of several halogenophosphines (6) has led to the characterization by 31Pn.m.r. of phosphonium species, such as (7).'* These salts show *lP shifts to relatively high fields, and large ~ J P H values; e.g., (7) has 1190Hz.l2 Attempts have been made to correlate phosphine basicity with ~ J Pvalues B in borane complexe~,~~ and, in turn, to correlate ~JPB with electrostatic interactions in the phosphorus-boron bond.13 From such correlations, the authors deduce that this bond is dominated by electrostatic contributions, and not by other factors, such as n-bonding. Preparation.-Two new synthetic routes to simple iodo-phosphines have appeared this year. Thus phosphorus tri-iodide (8) is produced in fairly good yield when the iodides of lanthanum, strontium, or europium are treated with the corresponding ~h0sphates.l~ Tetraiododiphosphine (9) is formed in 75-80 % yield, by the reaction

of phosphorus trichloride with potassium iodide,16 initially as a suspension in ether. This route appears to offer distinct advantages over those based on elemental phosphorus. The tetraiodide (10) is prepared as shown.ls When diphosphines are heated with carbon tetrachloride at 120-140 "C, chlorophosphines are formed, together with trichloromethyldialkylphosphines (1 1).17 B.

In particular, 31Pn.m.r. and thermographic analysis of the reactions of acetaldehyde diethylacetal(48) with a wide range of chloro-phosphines has revealed the stepwise nature of the replacement of the halogens.41Kinetic studies41indicate the following orders of reactivity for the halogeno-phosphines, and imply a change in the r81e of phosphorus when substituted by two ethyl groups : PC13 > PhPClz > PhzPCl PCls > EtPClz < EtzPCl

2 Halogenophosphoranes Physical and Structural Aspects.-Fluorophosphoranes (73) feature prominently in an extensive ab initio SCF study of the bonding in fluoro-derivatives of Group V elements.66Using different basis sets, the authors have demonstrated, yet again, the energetic benefits of including d-orbitals.66A somewhat different application of MO methods has been reported by Howell,67 who has used extended Huckel and CNDO/2 calculations to probe the structural changes in phosphorus pentafluoride (73; n = 0) as the fluorine nuclei are replaced by hydrogen or by methyl groups. In particular, the relatively greater stretching of axial P-F bonds (relative to equatorial P-F) experimentally observed for a number of substituted fluorophosphoranes has been ascribed to a repulsive interaction between the equatorial a-bonds and the axial lone pair of fluorine.67 The question of the energetics of trigonal-bipyramidal (TBP) as against squarepyramidal (SP)structures has been analysed for phosphoranes in which phosphorus is incorporated into a five-membered (or smaller) ring.68Holmes has discussed the importance of the difference between axial and equatorial bond lengths to phosphorus, in a TBP structure, and shown that this induces significant ( 3 - 4 kcal mol-l) strain when the phosphorane possesses an unsaturated five-membered ring bonded by electronegative elements to the phosphorus.68This effect is likely to be enhanced

mol-l) suggests that the benzoyl group has an apicophilicity comparable to that of the phenoxy-group. Details 77 have appeared of the synthesis of fluorophosphoranes containing fourmembered rings,78 and extensive variable-temperature n.m.r. studies have been described. Thus, for the phosphorane (82), the most stable conformations are (83) and (84), which inconvert to a minor conformer (85), via the intermediate (86).77

This work provides further evidence that axial placement of phenyl accompanied by equatorial placement of fluorine is costly in energy, while diequatorial siting of a fourmembered ring containing only carbon and phosphorus is considerably easier.7 7 Preparative details and extensive Lr., n.m.r., and mass spectra have been described for the phosphoranes (87)?6 These phosphoranes have a TBP structure, and for (87a)-(87c) their n.m.r. spectra are temperature-independent, and indicate that the fluorines bonded to phosphorus are equivalent. The authors have suggested an explanation based on rapid intramolecular isomerization, and discussed the possibility that a facile TR pathway exists for this process.46Octahedral adduct formation between (87) and fluoride ion or trimethylphosphine has also been de~cribed,*~ as shown in (88).

is obtained in this reaction, in good enough yield to suggest that this type of transformation may yet be of general synthetic utility. Synthetic Uses of Phosphine-Halogenocarbon Reactions.-This is a field which has attracted an increasing amount of effort in recent years, largely due to the extensive studies by Appel and his colleagues. Much of this work is summarized in a review lo3 which covers the principles and synthetic applications of reactions involving a tertiary phosphine and carbon tetrachloride. Despite the interest generated by this work, little is known about the mechanistic aspects of these reactions, although one might not appreciate this from some of the current papers in the area. This year has witnessed three independent attempt^^^^-^^^ to rectify this situation, and overall a fair measure of agreement can be seen in the conclusions. The first paperlo4is devoted to a study of the intermediates formed in reactions of triphenylphosphinecarbon tetrachloride with compounds possessing acidic hydrogens. Thus the initial interaction of triphenylphosphine (120) with carbon tetrachloride yields the ylide (121) and the phosphorane (112), which, in the presence of protic species (such as ROH in Scheme 8), react further to give the salt (122) and triphenylphosphine oxide. A recycling sequence then converts (122) into the dehalogenated salts (123) and (124), respectively,lo4as shown in Scheme 8. 0 2Ph,P + CCl, --+

Selected examples of the Arbusov reaction include phosphorylation of the chloroacetophenones (1) to give phosphonates, which cyclized to (2) in the presence of acid chlorides,l formation of the azodiphosphonate (3) from 2,2'-dichloro-2,2'-azopropane,2and the reaction of 2-chloro-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H1,4-benzothiazine (4) with triethyl phosphite to give the 2-phosphonate (9, which is used as an o l e h synthon? Bis(trimethylsily1) trimethylsiloxymethylphosphonite(6) has been synthesized by silylation of hydroxymethylphosphonous acid, and, as expected, undergoes a normal Arbusov reaction with alkyl halides to give the phosphonates (7).4 This series of reactions, followed by 0

A kinetic study of the Arbusov contribution in the reactions of triethyl phosphite and aryl-substituted a-bromoacetophenones gives a Hammett p value of -0.22.6 This suggests that the ketophosphonate product is formed via substitution at carbon and that attack on bromine is unlikely. The reaction of phosphites with trialkyloxonium salts in acetonitrile generally gives the corresponding alkyltrialkoxyphosphonium salt (12). However, under the same conditions, the bicyclic phosphite (13) accepts a proton, rather than an alkyl group, to give (14).'

In a continuation of his phosphine-carbon tetrachloride reactions, Appel has reported a convenient synthesis of alkyl phosphinates from chlorophosphines, alcohols, carbon tetrachloride, and base.48The reaction presumably takes place via the alkoxyphosphonium salt (61) and an Arbusov reaction. The reaction of nucleophiles with monoalkoxyphosphonium salts (62), obtained from the reaction of glycols with tris(dimethy1amino)phosphine-carbon tetrachloride, provides a highyield route to monofunctionalized alcohols.49The tris(dimethy1amino)phosphinecarbon tetrachloride reagent converts vicinal diols into trans-epoxides or spirophosphoranes, depending on the diol sub~tituents.~ O The proposed mechanism is shown in Scheme 2, and the relative rates of rotation and y-elimination in the intermediate (63) control the products formed. Secondary phosphites react in a similar way with carbon tetrachloride, and further reaction with trimethyl sulphoxonium ylide gives a high yield of the phosphonylsulphoxonium ylide (64).5l 47

A new synthesis of diarylacetylenes in moderate yield has been r e p ~ r t e d The .~~ reaction of a benzyl alcohol with the phosphorochloridite (65) gives the phosphorodiamidite (66), which reacts with benzotrichloride to give a 1,1 -dichlorodibenzyI. Finally, dehydrohalogenation gives an arylphenylacetylene. The phosphoruselimination step probably involves an Arbusov-type reaction, and this suggestion is supported by kinetic data. 31P N.m.r. spectroscopy of the Arbusov reaction of halogens or benzenesulphonyl chloride with cyclic phosphites is said to provide the first direct evidence for a five-co-ordinated intermediate in the reaction.53 52

Hudson and Verkade have offered an explanation for the conformational preference of phosphorus substituents in both dioxaphosphorinans (89) and their oxides (90).'O In the case of (89) the interactions involved are oxygen-phosphorus lone-pair repulsion, oxygen lone-pair repulsion of electrons in the P-X bond, and a hyperconjugative attraction involving the antibonding orbital of the P-X bond. In some cases, interactions with lone pairs of electrons on the phosphorus substituent also contribute.

Optically active phenyl-t-butylphosphine oxide with the same sign of rotation has been prepared by the reaction of Raney nickel with the (+)-selenide (107) and the (+)-sulphide which suggests that the latter compounds have the same sign of rotation for the same absolute configuration. The absolute configuration of (-)phenyl-t-butylphosphine oxide was apparently established by conversion into ( - )methylphenyl-t-butylphosphineoxide, but no details have been given. 82

6 Quinquevalent Phosphorus Acids ~

~~

BY R. S . EDMUNDSON

An increase in the output of papers dealing with derivatives of phosphoric, phosphonic, and phosphinic acids during the period under review has required even greater selectivity in the final choice to be included here; about half the published papers are not covered by the present Report. Marked activity has been evident in the general areas of phosphorylation and assignment of configuration in phosphoruscontaining ring systems, but application of these ring compounds to the study of mechanisms of reactions at phosphorus, and in the synthesis of chiral phosphorus compounds, continues to be of particular interest. The final volume of ‘OrganophosphorusCompounds’, edited by Kosolapoff and Maier, contains chapters on phosphonic acids and their derivativesla and organic derivatives of thio- (seleno-, telluro-)phosphoricacids.lb The stereochemistry of optically active phosphorus thio-acids has been reviewed and published lectures have covered such topics as phosphate and phosphonate compounds based on adamantaneS and NN-dihalogeno-amides of phosphoric acids.4

1 Synthetic Methods General.-Triethyl phosphite has been used to achieve stepwise 0-ethylation of phosphoric and benzylphosphonic acids.5 The disulphide linkage in bis(phosphiny1) disulphides is cleaved by ammonia in a suitable solvent to yield the phosphinylsulphenamides (1).

phosphates are obtainable by direct reaction between the alcohol and phosphoric acid at temperatures below 130 "C; at higher temperatures the dehydration of the alcohol becomes more important.ls The phosphoramidic chloride (11) has been employed to phosphorylate phenols and alcohols, including carbohydrates.ls Other activity in phosphorylation chemistry has been mostly concentrated in two main areas. In the first of these, Japanese workers have continued their studies on the use of 2-substituted-4-nitrophenylphosphoric acids. The N-protonated form of the 2-dimethylamino-compound (1 2 ; R = Me) is a better phosphorylating agent than the corresponding 2-diethylaminocompound. The reaction of (12) with hydroxy-amines results in selective O-phos-

phorylation, and with hydroxythiols the S-hydroxyalkyl phosphorothioate is the main product.17Primary hydroxy-groups are selectivelyphosphorylated by the same compounds.ls The pyridinium phenyl phosphate (13) phosphorylates alcohols in pyridine in the presence of triethylamine, but inorganic polyphosphates are formed in the absence of the latter.l* In the second area of interest, the high reactivity of compounds that stems from inherent ring strain in fivemembered ring systems has been exploited in the synthesis of mixed diesters of phosphoric acid. These, for example (15), may be obtained by

cleavage of the corresponding 2-hydroxyphenyl triesters (in turn obtainable from cyclic catechol esters) by lead tetra-acetate or by hydrogenolysis.20Hydrolysis of the benzoxazaphospholines (16; R = alkyl), obtained by transesterification between the corresponding phenoxy-compound and ROH, gives the phosphoramidic acids shown.a1 W.

The same intermediate may be obtained directly from the pyrophosphate (17) and RlOH, or indirectly from the imidazolide (18) or the phosphorochloridate (19). Treatment of (20) with the alcohol R20Hyields the acyclic ester (21), a reaction apparently catalysed by Et,N for primary alcohols but not so for secondary alcohols. Hydrolysis of (21) then yields the desired diester (22). In spite of the ability of all the compounds (17)-(20) to react with primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, some selectivity can be achieved. Thus, (17) will phosphorylate (23) and the resultant ester (20) will then react preferentially with the primary hydroxy-group of (24) to give (25). Compound (19) is useful for the phosphorylation of sensitive and (or) poorly nucleophilic alcohols. A new and reliable procedure for the synthesis of 0,s-dialkyl hydrogen phosphorothioates (27) involves the trifluoroacetolysis of the t-butyl esters (26); the method is facilitated by the lack of need to isolate (26).23

The preparation of phosphoramidates from dialkyl phosphites, using the ToddAtherton procedure, has been carried out in two-phase systems containing a phasetransfer agent, for example benzyltriethylammoniumchloride, at 5 mole % concentrati~n.~~ The reaction between dialkyl phosphorocyanatidite and acyl cyanides in dichloromethane at 0 “C parallels that between the same phosphite and 1,Zdicarbonyl compounds, and is probably initiated by attack of tervalent phosphorus on the carbonyl group; the formation of 0-and N-alkyl products, (30) and (29), is an indication of the probable nature (28) of an intermediate.26The extension of the reaction (see ‘Organophosphorus Chemistry’, Vol. 7, pp. 108, 126) to include ethyl phosphorodicyanatidite and 1-keto-estersprovides a route to the 5-phosphabicyclo[3,2,0]heptanes(31) in high yields.28 The reaction between benzoylhydrazineand ethyl or phenyl phosphorodichloridate 5-(2-benzoylhydrazino)-5,6-dihydro-2,8-diphenyl-4~1,3,4,6,7,5-0xatetrayields azaphosphocine 5-oxide (32).27

However, steric effects, also considered as an explanation for instances of failure of the reaction (see ‘Organophosphorus Chemistry’, Vol. 7, p. 111) may be operating adversely. Phosphonic and Phosphinic Acids and their Derivatives.-Further fundamental information on important reactions for preparing phosphonic acid derivatives has

appeared. The formation of 2,4-dimethyl-l,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan 2-oxide (38) from the sodium salt of the cyclic hydrogen phosphonate (37)and Me1 proceeds stereospecifically, with preservation of configuration of the starting material.33 A recent Russian report discloses that oxidative chlorophosphonation of saturated hydrocarbons may be initiated by hydroperoxides present in the hydrocarb~n.~* Some doubts regarding the relative importance of compounds (39)and (41) uis a uis the carbocation (40) in the phosphorylation of terminal alkenes by PCl, have been resolved, at least partially. Although compounds of types (39) and (41) (after treatRCHClC&P(O)CL, --+ [R6HCH2P(0)CI,] (39)

ment of the intermediate RCH2CH2k13PCI,complex with SO,) are very often found together as products of this reaction (although there may be a distinct bias towards one or the other), it has not been determined whether (39) and (41) are formed independently or whether (41) is produced via (40)from (39). The rate of phosphorylation appears to be controlled to some extent by the ability of R to conjugate. Electron release by R (R = aryl, alkoxy, or aryloxy) increases the stability of (40)and thus favours the formation of (41).When R = alkyl, elimination of a proton is aided by electron withdrawal by P=O. The initially formed complex RCHClCH2hC13PC&, produced by competing chlorination, must lose HCl more readily than (39), so that (39), which is stable at room temperature, may correspond to (40),that is unstable under the same condition^.^^ 31 32 33 34 35

The initial observations, reported in 1972, on the ring expansions to azaphosphepines which take place when A3-phospholen l-oxides are treated with one molar proportion of each of butyl-lithium and a nitrile have now been extended. The use of two molar proportions of each of butyl-lithium and nitrile results in a further twoatom ring enlargement to give the 1,3,2-diazaphosphacyclonona-4,6,8-trienes (69), albeit in only 3-5 % yields.

Many of the reported mechanistic studies have utilized cyclic phosphorus esters, particularly of the 4-methyl-l,3,2-dioxaphosphorinansystem, employed largely by the Polish group (Stec, Michalski et aZ.), and of the bicyclic 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan and perhydro-l,3,2-oxazaphosphorinsystems based upon carbohydrates (Inch et aZ.). An interesting comparison has been made between the behaviour of (78)-(80) in their reaction with Cla and SOzClz.81Compounds (78) and (79) react at - 70 "C via phosphonium-like intermediates, with retention of configuration; in the former case the product is the phosphonic chloride (81) whereas (79) yields the cyclic oxophosphoranesulphenyl chloride (82).

The phenylphosphonic amide hydrolyses faster than the other compounds, and also with 100% P-N bond fission, the remainder undergoing P-0 bond fission to various extents.

Organophosphoriis Chemistry

A novel demonstration of the latent reactivity of the phosphoryl bond and the apparent ease with which the number of ligands around the phosphorus atom can change under very mild conditions is provided by the hydrogen phosphonate (loo), prepared from catechol and phosphorous acid or PCl,. When treated with DCC, (100) yields ultimately the spiran (102). An explanation for this relies on the assumption that the phosphoryl bond participates in ring-chain tautomerism involving (101).6*

When the monosodium salts of uracil and similar pyrimidines react with diphenyl phosphorochloridate, phosphorylation takes place on oxygen unless other suitable iiucleophilic centres are present and free.69The reaction between the sodium salt of a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound and diethyl phosphorochloridothionate yields the Zvinylphosphorothionate; if the tetrabutylammonium salt is employed, the product has E geometry. This phenomenon has been interpreted in terms of the shape of the

dicarbonyl anion in different solvents. Equilibria of the type (103)+(104) are also observable in such reaction mixtures. 70 Phosphorylation of phenolate anions with dimethyl phosphorochloridothionate in water-dichloromethane systems normally gives large amounts of dithiopyrophosphate because of extensive hydrolysis of the phosphorus chloride, but in the presence of tetrabutylammonium salts and 1 % imidazole, phosphorylation of the phenolate anion is complete. The explanation lies in an evident combination of activation of acylating agent (by imidazole) and of nucleophile (by phase-transfer catalysis).71 Interest in solvolysis studies of phosphate esters appears to have sagged during the year, but such studies as have appeared include those on the acid-catalysed hydro68 69

Comparison of the compounds (105; n = 0 or 1) suggests that such electrostatic barriers as might exist and resist the formation of cyclic transition states are overcome. An optimal size of metal ion in the catalysis of the former compound is apparent ; specific metal-ion-catalysed hydrolysis of (106) proceeds through a cyclic intermediate (transition state) after expulsion of phenol. 75 NN’-Diaryl-l,3,2diazaphospholidine 2-oxides undergo ring fission in formic acid buffers to give Nformyldiarylethylenediamines.7s Thiophosphate esters in fluorosulphonic acid protonate at (thio)phosphorylbonds, as demonstrated by lH and 31Pn.m.r. spectroscopy.

When the phosphoramidic difluoride (1 16) reacts with diols, alkanolamines, or diamines, the manner of ring closure is dependent on n in a way which is both novel, and, from the synthetic viewpoint, potentially useful, although for compounds for which n = 2 a mixture of products (117; R = F or Me,N) may result.88

In reactions between the cyclic phosphonic chloride (137) and the diols (138), the composition of the reaction products that have not been thermally treated differ widely, depending on n, the compound (139) that is initially formed evidently undergoing further change. When n=2, the product then consists of either (140) or (141)

(141)

whereas if the hydroxylic starting material is propane-l,2-diol the mixture of reaction products also contains the cyclic phosphonate (142). In general, an increase in the number of substituents in the carbon chain of the diol favours a cyclic product.lll Several addition reactions of mono- and di-enephosphonates have been reported. Diethyl vinylphosphonate reacts at 100 "C with cyclohexanone pyrrolidenamine in a stepwise fashion. Hydrolysis of the initial adduct yields the ketophosphonate (143) but further reaction of the adduct in a Mannich-type process can yield, ultimately, the cyclobutenylphosphonate (144).l12 Diethyl butadienephosphonate condenses 110

azonium salts, the relative amounts of these depending on the probabilities of proton approach from one or other diastereotopic side. Loss of nitrogen proceeds with the formation of a planar (at carbon) cation, which then undergoes reaction with the anion X- to give diastereoisomeric products (154), the relative proportions of which will depend on the sizes of R1, R2, and X.121 Further studies on lY3-dipolaraddition reactions of diazophosphonates have been recorded,122and work on 2-diazo-l-hydroxyalkylphosphonates also continues.123 The ester (155; R = H) reacts with esters of acetylenedicarboxylic acid without liberation of nitrogen to give stereoisomeric C-phosphorylated pyrazolines, which can be decomposed with both phosphorus-carbon and carbon-carbon bond fission, affording mixtures containing dimethyl acetylphosphonate, dimethyl hydrogen phosphonate, and tri(alkoxycarbony1)pyrazolines. In the reaction between the same diazophosphonate and diazomethane, the latter conceivably acts as a basic catalyst for proton transfer in a series of steps which includes phosphonate-phosphate isomerization. The importance of a labile proton is demonstrated by the fact that the ester (155; R = Me) does not react in the manner described above.

When a solution of the ester (155; R = H) in dioxan is warmed at 80 "C,the phosphonate (156) is produced together with about 5 % yields of each of dimethyl hydrogen phosphonate and diazoacetoacetic ester (Scheme 8) ; the enol phosphate (157) could not be detected. The explanation for this sequence of reactions also relies on proton mobility, and the reaction is known to be acid-~ata1ysed.l~~ The deselenization of t-butyl phenylphosphinoselenoic acid by Raney nickel is highly stereoselective, allowing a stereochemical correlation between the selenoate and the analogous phosphorothioic acid through a common intermediate.126 121

The acid-catalysed hydrolysis of phosphinic esters (158) is relatively insensitive to the substituent (R = Me, Et, Pri, or But) attached to phosphorus; this contrasts with the base-catalysed process.126The acid hydrolysis of the phosphinic esters (1 59) (see ‘Organophosphorus Chemistry’, Vol. 7, p. 129 for the base hydrolysis) takes place with alkyl-oxygen fission in an S Nprocess.127 ~

A range of mechanisms is possible for the acidolysis of phosphorus amides, depending on the nucleophilicity of the departing amine.

7 Phosphates and Phosphonates of Biochemical Interest BY D. W. HUTCHINSON

1 Introduction Magnetic resonance techniques have again been popular for studying enzymes which are involved in phosphate hydrolysis and transfer. 31Por l9F N.m.r.lS2 and spinlabelling3 have all been used to study the interaction of substrates with these enzymes, while affinity labelling4is another technique which has been used to obtain information about the sequence and conformation of amino-acid chains at the active sites of enzymes. Recently, these experimental methods have been applied to the study of cell membrane^,^-^ and these are mentioned in a new series of books concerned with enzymes in biological membranes.s A new journal, Trends in Biochemical Sciences, which contains concise, up-to-date reviews on these and other topics is published by Elsevier on behalf of the International Union of Biochemistry. Affinity chromatography and the insolubilization of enzymes continue to attract attention. Affinity chromatography is now used routinely for the purification of enzymes and other macromolecules; reference to this technique will be made in the various sections of this Chapter. Immobilized enzymes have great industrial potential as, unlike soluble enzymes, they can be re-used, thus reducing significantly the cost of a product. A new development mentioned in last year’s ReportQ is the use of insolubilized enzymes as analytical tools, when advantage can be taken of the sensitivity and selectivity of the enzymic reaction. Immobilized enzyme reactors have been made which can detect inorganic phosphate, organophosphorus insecticides, and other phosphate esters.1° This technique will, no doubt, be used extensively in the future.

2 Coenzymes and Cofactors Nicotinamide Nuc1eotides.-A number of dehydrogenases have been purified by affinity chromatography, using NAD+ linked to insoluble supports either through the 6-113l2 or the 8-positions13of the adenine nucleus. The reverse process, the use of immobilized dehydrogenases to purify NAD+, has also been described re~ent1y.l~

3-Iodopyridine-adenine dinucleotide (1; X = I, Y = H) has been prepared by transglycosidation with NAD+ using a nucleosidase from pig brain.lS Alternatively, diazotization of 3-aminopyridine-adeninedinucleotide in the presence of the cuprous salt of the appropriate halide ion leads to (1; X = F, C1, Br, or I; Y = H). The halogeno-analogues are competitive inhibitors with respect to NAD+ for several dehydrogenases,and since they bind strongly to these enzymes they could be used as heavy-atom derivatives of NAD+ in X-ray crystallographic studies. An oestradiol 17b-dehydrogenasefrom human placenta will accept NAD+ analogues substituted in either the pyridine (1; X = CN or MeCO, Y = H) or purine (1; X = H, Y = Br or SH) rings.16 The purine-substituted analogues are good hydrogen acceptors for this dehydrogenase, which means that there can be few steric requirements at the active site of this enzyme, as the purine ring must be in the syn- rather than the anti-conformation relative to the sugar in these analogues. Substituted NMN+ derivatives have been prepared by cleaving the corresponding NAD-+or NADP+ with a pyrophosphatase from crude snake ven0m.l' While AMP is completely hydrolysed by this crude enzyme, these NMN+ derivatives are comparatively stable. The binding of NAD+ or NADH to lactate18 or D-glyceraldehyde3-phosphate19 dehydrogenases involves the pyrophosphoryl group.

of NAD+ and NADH are the same for a given dehydrogenase but are different in the two enzymes.2oSince NADH binds lo3 times more strongly than NAD+ to lactate dehydrogenase, the difference in binding strengths between the reduced and oxidized forms of the coenzyme cannot be due to differences in the conformation of the pyrophosphoryl group. Flavin Coenzymes.-5-Deazaflavin-adenine dinucleotide (2) can be prepared from the 5-dea~aFMN,~l using a FAD pyrophosphorylase from rat liver.22When the apoprotein of D-amino-acid oxidase from pig kidney is reconstituted with (2), no oxidation of D-alanine is observed, although the flavin chromophore in the reconstituted enzyme is reduced on the addition of DL-amino-acids.22This has been interpreted as indicating that hydrogen transfer from the amino-acid to (2) can still CH,(CHOH),CH,OR

take place. An alternative synthesis of (2) has been and it has been observed that (2) binds to a number of enzymes in a manner remarkably similar to the natural FAD. The reduction of (2) to (3) can take place both chemically and en~ymically.~~ 2-Hydroxy-but-3-ynoic acid (4) inactivates L-lactate oxidase from Mycobacterium smegmatis and modifies enzyme-bound FMN in this system.26The initial adducts formed from (4) and FMN are unstable, however, and reduction of these adducts with borohydride can lead to the release of ( 5 ) (see Scheme 1). The structure of this adduct is very different from that (6) formed in the reaction of NNdimethylpropargylamine and monoamine oxidase, another flavin enzyme.26This indicates that the substrates may not be bound to the two different enzymes in the same position relative to the flavin moiety, and hence D-amino-acid and monoamine oxidases may function by different mechanisms. Pyridoxal Phosphate.-Analogues of pyridoxal and pyridoxamine 5’-phosphates have frequently been used to probe the size and shape of the active sites of a number of enzymes. For example, the apoenzyme of a tryptophanase from BaciZZus aluei will bind pyridoxal 5’-phosphate as well as the 2-nor, 2’-methyl, 2’-hydroxy, 6-methyl, and N-oxide analogue^.^' No analogue that has been modified at C-4 binds to the enzyme, confirming the absolute requirement for Schiff-base formation between the 2*

chromatography, using pyridoxal 5’-phosphate immobilized through the 3-oxygen atom.as A two-component resonance signal has been observed when pyridoxal 5’phosphate was added to phosphorylase The resonance changes dramatically on the addition of the activator AMP or the inhibitor glucose 6-phosphate. If the twocomponent signal is due to a slow interchange between two enzymic conformations, then the addition of a ligand probably fixes the enzyme in one of these conformations. Thiamine Phosphates.-Thiamine thiazolone and thiothiazolone have been phosphorylated in two steps to the corresponding diphosphates (8; X = 0 or S).31

These diphosphates bind very tightly to pyruvate dehydrogenase, which is consistent with the suggestion32that they are transition-state analogues of thiamine pyrophosphate. Complexes formed between magnesium ions and thiamine pyrophosphate may be directly involved in enzymic reactions, and such metal complexes have been studied using paramagnetic manganese(@ions.33* 34 The thiamine pyrophosphate in these complexes exists in a folded conformation at low pH, and as the pH is raised the population of unfolded complex increases, presumably due to the ionization of the pyrophosphate group.

3 Sugar Phosphates The stereospecific synthesis of 1,2-truns-glycosyl phosphates from the reaction between dibenzyl phosphate and the 1,2-0rthoesters of protected gluco-, glacto-, and manno-pyranoses, e.g. (9), has been reported (see Scheme 2).36Removal of the protecting groups gives the 1-glycosyl phosphates in high yield. 3-Deoxy-arubino-heptulosonic acid 7-phosphate (10) is a metabolic intermediate before shikimic acid in the biosynthetic pathway to aromatic amino-acids in bacteria and plants. While (10) is formed enzymically from erythrose 4-phosphate (11) and phosphoenol pyruvate, a one-step chemical synthesis from (11) and oxalacetate has now been published.36The synthesis takes place at room temperature and neutral pH 29

One of the earliest stages in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan is the transfer of the enol phosphate residue of phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) to the oxygen attached to C-3’ of the glucosamine moiety of UDPGlcNAc. Inorganic phosphate is liberated and the double bond of the enol pyruvate is preserved.

7 Enzymology Enzyme Mechanisms.-The inert co-ordination complex of CrIII and inorganic pyrophosphate binds strongly to yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase, but is not hydrolysed by the enzyme.81Moreover, this complex does not inhibit the MgIIcatalysed hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate by the enzyme. In contrast, the calcium inorganic pyrophosphate complex is a strong inhibitor of the MgII-catalysed hydrolysis although it is not itself a substrate. This probably means that the CrIII-PPi complex binds to the enzyme via the metal ion rather than through the phosphoryl oxygen atoms. The MgII-catalysed hydrolysis of inorganic pyrophosphate by inorganic pyrophosphatase at pH 7 shows a kinetic solvent isotope effect of 1.45.s2 At least one molecule of water must, therefore, be involved in the transition state of this reaction. Alkaline phosphatase from both prokaryotes and eukaryotes contains a specific serine residue which is phosphorylated during the hydrolysis reaction by noncovalently bound inorganic phosphate.83 The native enzyme requires zinc for activity, but a CdII enzyme can be prepared which on treatment with chelating agents gives an apophosphoryl enzyme. On dialysis of the latter with 32P-labelledphosphate, the phosphoryl enzyme is obtained which contains both covalently and non-covalently bound p h o ~ p h o r u s The . ~ ~ two forms of phosphorus can be distinguished by 31P n.m.r. in the native zinc-containing 8 G The chemical shift of the covalently bound phosphorus cannot be related to that of any known amino-acid analogue, e.g. phosphoserine,8sand it is postulated that the anomalous chemical shift is caused by steric strain with an 0-P-0 angle of under 100". This highly strained intermediate, together with a conformation change caused on binding a MgII ion to the zincenzyme,87may be important features in the hydrolytic reaction (Scheme 5). Phosphoglucoisomerase catalyses the interconversion of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate via enzyme-bound metastable intermediates (Scheme 6). A stable analogue (28) of the enediol intermediate (27), which has been prepared by the aerial oxidation of fructose 6-phosphate,is the strongest known competitive inhibitor of the enzyme.88 Neutral sugar phosphates, e.g. erythrose 4-phosphate (1 1) or glucitol 6-phosphate, are not inhibitors of phosphoglucoisomerase.8gAlthough (1 1) does bind tightly to the enzyme, the binding does not involve a group on the enzyme which is ionizable at physiological pH, as the binding is invariant in the range E.

The enediolate is believed to hydrogen-bond strongly to a glutamate residue in the active site.

When the synthesis is carried out in lsO-enrichedwater, l80is incorporated into the PRPP, but not into AMP.g1The lSOin the PRPP arises from a pre-exchange between the H,180 and the ribose phosphate, and hence the results confirm that fission of the p-P-0 bond takes place.

Presqualene pyrophosphate is well established as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of squalene and derived steroids.lo5Terpene phosphonophosphates, e.g. (33), have recently been synthesized and shown to block the biosynthesis of squalene, as the phosphonophosphate group cannot be eliminated under physiological conditions.lo6This is further evidence that presqualene pyrophosphate is an obligatory intermediate in this biosynthetic pathway.

1 Introduction Reviewers’ Canute Syndrome - the hallucination that one is about to be drowned beneath a rising tide of reference cards - has become prevalent during the past year, enforcing stringent selection of material covered. The considerable literature dealing with n.m.r. and X-ray studies of nucleotide structure has been omitted; to repair this deficit, the reader is recommended to two books.lS2 Reports of scientific meetings have also been omitted, since the work presented at these generally appears later in full papers in the literature; however, the Meeting Report of the Third Symposium on the Chemistry of Nucleic Acid Components in 19753 can be recommended as a source of interesting papers. 2 Mononucleotides Chemical Synthesis.-Treatment of cyclopropylmethyl alcohol with dibenzyl phosphorochloridate and subsequent hydrogenolysis of the benzyl groups gives cyclopropylmethyl dihydrogen phosphate. The reaction of 2’,3’-isopropylidene ribonucleosides with this compound and DCC affords phosphodiesters of type (l), from which the protecting groups are removed by boiling in dilute acid to give the nucleoside 5’-monophosphates in moderate yield^.^ The method, envisaged as an 0

Nucleoside 5’-phosphordiamidates may be prepared by treatment of sugarprotected nucleoside 5’-phosphorodichloridates with ammonia. In alkali these break down, regenerating the nucleoside, but in acid, under controlled conditions, one amide group may be removed, and the resulting phosphoramidate used for polyphosphate synthesis. Formation of [2’(N)-+5’]-phosphoramidate links by the reaction of 2’-amino-2’-deoxyuridine with nucleoside 5’-phosphorimidazolates takes place much faster than the formation of [2’(3’) -+5’]-phosphodiester links when a ribonucleoside is employed, and 2’-amino-2’-deoxyuridine-5’-phosphorimidazolate will correspondingly self-condense to form oligomers (5). * The internucleoside phosphoramidate linkage is fairly stable at neutral pH, and the possibility of such oligomers forming templates for abiotic replication may thus be explored.

When 3’- or 5’-thymidylic acid is treated with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzenein DMF, the corresponding phosphofluoridates are formed in good yield. Initially the 2,4dinitrophenyl ester of the nucleotide is formed, and the phenate ion subsequently expelled by fluoride ion. If a nucleoside mono-, di-, or tri-phosphate, or an oligonucleotide bearing a free terminal phosphate, is treated with excess mesitoyl chloride in pyridine, the corresponding mesitoyl phosphates (6) are formed,l0 and are reportedly sufficiently stable for work-up of the reaction on DEAE-cellulose. Presumably steric hindrance inhibits hydrolysis. On treatment with appropriate nucleophiles, mesitoic acid is expelled, yielding amides, thioesters, nucleoside polyphosphates, phosphodiesters, or, if hexamethylenediamine-Sepharose is used, immobilized nucleotides. The yields are generally good. It is interesting to note the choice of agent used for phosphorylation at the 5’position, particularly in unprotected nucleosides. Thus, phosphoryl chloride in various trialkyl phosphates has been employed for imidazole nucleosides and 3-deazaguanosine,11for l-methyl-6-thio-inosine,12 for 9-(2,3-0-isopropylidene-a-~lyxopyranosyl)adenine,13 for certain imidazo[1,Zc]pyrimidine ribonucleosidesl4 (albeit in rather low yields), and for arabinonucleosidesl5(although different solvent mixtures have been employed).la Either this reagent, or pyrophosphoryl chloride in acetonitrile, has been used to phosphorylate pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine nucleosides.17 Enzymatic phosphorylation has been used for 2-amino-6-chloropurine riboand for 3’-amino-3’side,18 for 5-aminouridine,lBfor 2’-arnin0-2’-deoxyadenosine,~~ deoxy-adenosine20and -guanosine.21It is not clear whether the use of enzymes is dictated by the scarcity of the nucleoside or by the need to avoid potential difficulties due to the presence of extra basic amino-groups. However, 8-aminoguanosine has been phosphorylated with phosphoryl chloride and triethyl phosphate.22 In order to study steric and electronic requirements at the C-5’ position of nucleotides with respect to their ability to bind to enzymes, analogues of TMP or TTP (7)23 have been prepared via condensation of 3’-O-acetylthymidine-5’-aldehydewith nitromethane, reduction, acylation at the resulting amino-group, phosphorylation with 2-cyanoethyl phosphate and DCC, and deblocking with ammonia. The phosphonate analogues (8) and (9), isosteres of AMP, are substrates for AMP kinases from rabbit and pig muscle, suggesting that the C(5’)-O(5’) torsion angle of AMP bound to AMP kinase resembles that in the fixed stereochemistry of (8).24 P.

Several useful transformations of the nucleoside moiety in nucleotides have been described.

Ethylating agents behave similarly, with less reaction overall, and higher phosphate :base alkylation ratios. 25

A complete series of analogues of ApA has been prepared in which one of the adenosine moieties (at either the 3’- or the 5’-end) is replaced by 1-deaza-adenosine or 3-deaza-adenosine, and the internucleotide bond is either (2’+ 5’) or (3’+ 5’).31 Synthesis follows Khorana-style condensation methods. Hyperchromicity studies indicate that, in a pair of positional isomers, the (2’+5’)-isomer is the more heavily stacked. Treatment of 3-deaza-adenosine with its 2’,3’-cyclic phosphate in the presence of ribonuclease M gives the (3’ --f 5’)-dinucleoside monophosphate. Uridylyl(3’+ 5’)-(3-ribosyl-6-methyluracil)has been prepared similarly 32 by treating uridine2’,3’-cyclic phosphate with (12) in the presence of pancreatic ribonuclease. 4Thiouridine, found in tRNA, is readily derivatized, and is thus a useful nucleoside for structural studies. The preparation of a complete series of dinucleoside (2’+5’)and (3’+ 5’)-nonophosphates in which one nucleoside residue is 4-thiouridine and the other adenosine, uridine, or guanosine has been described.33All are generated by sulphydrolysis of the corresponding cytidine compounds with hydrogen sulphide in pyridine. The position of the internucleotidic link is demonstrated by treatment with ribonucleases, which do not split the (2’ -+5’)-isomer. Hyperchromicity is again larger for the (2’ -+ 5’)-isomers. Diribonucleoside monophosphates containing 4thiouridine have also been prepared via phosphotriester methods,34which define a methodology for the construction of oligonucleotides containing this base. If thymidylyl (3’+ 5’)-thymidine is prepared via the ‘phosphotriester method’, using acyl blocking of the sugar hydroxy-groups and a phenyl group to protect the phosphate, it is found that, if sugar hydroxy-groups become free during deblocking before the phenyl group has been removed from the phosphate, transesterification can take place with isomerization, to form (5’-+5’) and (3’-+3’) internucleotide links as well as the desired product. In a careful study, pure thymidylyl-(3’+3’)-, -(3’+5’)-, and -(5’+ 5’)-thymidine have been prepared by phosphotriester methods, by selectively deblocking the acyl groups while leaving the phosphotriester intact, re-masking the hydroxy-groups with the acid-labile 4-methoxytetrahydropyranyl group, alkaline hydrolysis of the phenyl group, and finally treatment with The intermediates, in which the phosphotriester is intact while the sugar hydroxy-groups are free, were

Since presumably 3’,5’-cyclophosphate triester intermediates are involved, one is led to wonder why thymidine is not lost. It is presumed that the intermediate must resemble (13), and that on hydrolysis ring-opening, rather than loss of thymidine, is the best way to relieve the steric strain of three equatorial P-0 bonds in the hypothetical transition state. In similar studies in oligoribonucleotide triester synthesis, treatment of (14) under conditions for hydrolysis of the aryl group gave rise to (15), stereoisomeric purity at the phosphorus atom being maintained.37Hydrolysis of each stereoisomer of (15 ) gave rise to

Phosphotriester methods employing acyl and benzyl groups to block sugar hydroxy-group have been used to prepare a series of benzyl-substituted diuridyl phenyl phosphotriesters in which the internucleotide link is (2’+2’), (3’-+3’), (5’-+5’), (2’+5’) or (3’-+5’).38In 37

Cyclic Nuc1eotides.-A new method for preparation of nucleoside 3’,5’-cyclic phosphates consists of treating the unprotected nucleoside with trichloromethylphosphonyl chloride in triethyl phosphate and ring closure of the resulting nucleoside 5’-trichloromethylphosphonate (22) with potassium t-butoxide to give the required product (23) in high yield.47Fission of the carbon-phosphorus bond takes place, with loss of the trichloromethyl group, and it is thought that a metaphosphate intermediate may be involved. The 3’-amido-analogue of cAMP (24) has been prepared by ring-closure of 3’-amino-3’-deoxyadenosine-5’-monophosphate, using a watersoluble ~arbodi-imide,~~ and the corresponding 5’-thio-3’-amino-analogue (25) has been prepared similarly49 from 3’-amino-5’-thio-3’,5’-dideoxyadenosine-5’-monophosphate, which in turn was obtained by treatment of 3’-amino-5’-bromo-3’,5’dideoxyadenosine with lithium thiophosphate. The 3’-N-benzyl derivative of (24) was also prepared.48 Compound (25) is more stable than (24), exhibiting no hydrolysis at neutral pH, and binding to rabbit-muscle protein kinase one-tenth as strongly as (24). The 1-deaza-adenosine analogue of cAMP has been prepared by ring-closure of l-deaza-adenosine-5’-monophosphate with DCC,50 but this method gave very low yields for the corresponding 3-deaza-compound, and cyclization of the 4-nitrophenyl ester of 3-deaza-adenosine-5’-monophosphatewith potassium t-butoxide was more effective. The same alkoxide has been used to cyclize thymidine 5’-phosphorofluoridate to cTMP in high yield.51 44

Adenosine 5’40- 1-thiotriphosphate) (31) and adenosine 5’40- 1-thiodiphosphate) may be prepared from adenosine 5’-phosphorothioate using diphenyl phosphorochloridate and inorganic pyrophosphate or phosphate, respectively, and adenosine 5’-(0-2-thiotriphosphate) (32) from adenosine 5’-(0-2-thiodiphosphate)by coupling with 2-cyanoethyl phosphate and DCC and removal of the cyanoethyl group with alkali. Clearly, (31) and (32) exist as stereoisomers, and it is possible to achieve separation of these by the use of kinases which accept, preferentially or exclusively, one stereoisomer as substrate.66 Unfortunately the stereoisomeric pairs are not distinguishable by 31P n.m.r., and can presently only be distinguished by their behaviour with enzymes. Nevertheless, the use of these compounds renders possible the study of stereochemical aspects of enzymic interaction with the polyphosphate chain, and if crystallization and determination of the absolute configuration can be realized, much valuable information will be obtained. Only one isomer of (31) is a substrate for phenylalanyl tRNA synthetase from baker’s yeast,66and it can be shown that, during the exchange reaction of pyrophosphate with this isomer, the stereochemical configuration is retained. As the result of an extensive study in which 18 analogues of ATP were tested for their ability to act as substrates for amino-acyl tRNA synthetases, substrate suitability was thought to depend on the ability to form .~~ speculative a metal-nucleotide complex (34) of acceptable anti c o n f ~ r m a t i o n A model is depicted in Scheme 2.2’-Amino-2’-deoxy- and 3’-amino-3’-deoxyadenosine5’-triphosphate 2o and 2’- and 3’-deoxyadenosine-5’-triphosphate6 8 s 6 g are substrates 0-

ATP labelled with l80in the terminal phosphate group is obtained On by incubating [180]H,P0, with ADP and a suitable phosphorylating incubation with myosin subfragment one, some 75% of this label is exchanged within two seconds, thus establishing a rapid, reversible cleavage reaction as an initial step in the interaction of ATP with myosin. On treatment of guanosine with excess pyrophosphoryl chloride, followed by hydrolysis, the 2’,3’-cyclic phosphate-5’-polyphosphates(40) are formed, along with the corresponding 2’(3’)-phosphate and a trace of N3,5’-cycloguanosine-2’,3’-cyclic phosphate, via expulsion of the polyphosphate moiety.77 Compound (41) is the starting point for a synthesis of guanosine-3’,5’-bis-diphosphate(45).78Compound (41) is coupled with S-ethyl dihydrogen phosphorothioate to give (42), which is cleaved by TI ribonuclease to afford (43).

Pancreatic ribonuclease forms stable complexes with its competitive inhibitors uridine- and cytidine-2’(3’),5’-diphosphate, and on irradiation at > 300 nm, using acetone as photosensitizer, covalent attachment occurs to a part of the polypeptide sequence known to lie close to the binding site for pyrimidine nucleotide~.~~ Other photoaffinity labelling experiments have employed azido-derivatives of nucleotides. 8-Azido-adenosine-3’,5’-cyclic phosphate has been used to label CAMPbinding sites in erythrocyte membranes 92 and in protein k i n a ~ e ,and ~ ~ 8-azidoadenosine-5’diphosphate to label a regulatory binding site on glutamate dehydrogenaseg4 and to inhibit adenine nucleotide transport across mitochondrial membranes. However, this last case illustrates an important point, requiring a word of caution: addition of the photoaffinity label after completion of a phosphorylating cycle induced partial oxidation of respiratory pigments, without irradiation. 96 The azido-group is easily reducible and readily takes up free electrons,88and could thus lead to the formation of oxidized artefacts and a reduced nucleotide derivative of unknown properties.

However, careful work has shown that the non-hydrolysable (36) still binds tightly to 65-80 % of the ATP binding sites of the modified myosin, and it is surmised that (66) is bound to other, possible regulatory, sites, resulting in the observed loss of ATPase activity.lo2This paper is an excellent example of the care with which affinity-labelling results must be examined. A bromoacetylated derivative of the ‘nonsense’ codon UpGpA has been synthesized and used to label ribosomal proteins.lo3 Prebiotic Models.--If AMP, magnesium ions, and trimetaphosphate are mixed and the solution is allowed to evaporate at room temperature, adenosine 5’-polyphosphates are formed in high yield.lo4If the same reaction is performed in water at pH 8.8 for extended periods, there is a tendency to formation of shorter polyphosphate products, notably ATP, and a convincing case can thus be made for ATP formation under ‘primitive earth‘ conditions. If glycine, ATP, and imidazole are heated together in the solid state, glycine oligomers are formed.lo6Reaction is thought to proceed via formation of adenosine 5’-phosphorimidazolateor 5’-glycine phosphoramidate as intermediate, which on reaction with glycine forms an acyl phosphate of type (67) that is suitable for peptide coupling. Imidazole-catalysed transfer of phenylalanine from (67) to poly(rU) has been examined as a model system for tRNA amino-acylation.106 If thymidylic acid is heated with cyanamide at pH 3, oligomers, for the most part cyclic, are formed, presumably via activated phosphate intermediates such as (68).lo7 On addition of acid salts, the same reactions can be realized at neutral pH.lo8 102

Digestion with Taribonuclease reveals that some 95 % of the new links formed are (2’+5’).lU9 If now the dodecamer containing a single (2’+ 5’)-link and an all-(3’+ 5’)-dodecamer are hydrolysed at pH 8 in aqueous ethylenediamine, the rates of hydrolysis are similar, but addition of two equivalents of poly(rU) causes acceleration of the hydrolysis of the former and retardation of hydrolysis of the latter.l1° Indeed, when the oligomers are fully constrained in the helical form, it is estimated that the (2’+5’)-link is hydrolysed at 900 times the rate of the (3’+5’)-link. The poly(rU) is thought to hold the (2’+ 5’) internucleotide bond in a conformation which favours in-line displacement by the 3’-hydroxy-group. While this poses a ‘chicken-and-egg’ problem, it is clear how a selective advantage for the (3’-+5‘) internucleotide bond can thus be propagated. 4 Oligo- and Poly-nucleotides Chemical Synthesis.-Chemical methods in oligonucleotide synthesis have been reviewed.lll In a comparative study of condensing agents used in oligoribonucleotide synthesis, DCC, TPS, and triphenylphosphine-2,2’-dipyridyl disulphidella were found to be the most effective for joining a protected nucleoside 3’-phosphate to the 5’-hydroxy-group of another protected nucleoside residue, and TPS best for performing the same coupling between oligonucleotide b10cks.l~~ The use of triphenyl phosphite and 2,2’-dipyridyl diselenide as a system of condensing and coupling agents has been described.l14 Yields are high, and no side-reactions are observed during coupling. The reagent may also be used to prepare phosphomonoamidates in high yield. A base-catalysed method for synthesis of the internucleotide link consists of treating a nucleoside 3’- or 5’-phosphorofluoridate with a nucleoside bearing a free 5’- or 3’-hydroxy-group in the presence of potassium t-butoxide.61Yields are good if only pyrimidine bases are present, but are not as good when purine derivatives are used.lls An alternative approach to the synthesis of internucleotide bonds is to use an insoluble condensing agent, such as poly(3,5-diethylstyrene)sulphonyl chloride.ll6 A.

After coupling, the reagent is simply filtered off, and potential by-products such as sulphonate esters are also removed. The reaction is thought to involve initial formation of a sulphonate-phosphate anhydride, which then forms symmetrical pyrophosphates and trimetaphosphate triesters for attack by alcohol. While yields are high for dinucleoside phosphates, steric hindrance seems likely to limit this agent’s usefulness. The use of dichlorophosphoric acid for forming phosphodiesters and internucleotide bonds has also been described.l17 Internucleotidic (3’ --f 5’)phosphoramidate links can be formed by direct coupling of a protected nucleoside 3’-phosphate with 5’-amino-5’-deoxynucleoside derivatives, using triphenylphosphine-2,2’-dipyridyl disulphide.ll* If a deoxyribonucleoside 5’-monophosphate is first esterified with a bulky apolar group, and then used as the 5’-terminus for synthesis of an oligodeoxyribonucleotide, reaction products may conveniently be isolated by solvent-extraction techniques, up to about the tetranucleotide stage. 2-(4-Tritylphenyl)thioethanol (69) and 2-(4tritylphenyl)sulphonylethanol(70)have been used for this purpose.110For deblocking, (69) is first oxidized to (70) with N-chlorosuccinimide and then removed with alkali. 0-

Among several new phosphoramidates investigated as potential protecting groups in oligoribonucleotide synthesis, those derived from 4-methylsulphoxylaniline (71) show promise, being stable under conditions in which the monomethoxytrityl group is removed, but cleaved by isoamyl nitrite.lZ0 Pentadecathymidylic acid has been prepared by the ‘triester method’, using alkalilabile protecting groups for internucleotide and 3’-terminal phosphates, and acidlabile protection of the 5’-hydroxy-group, and extending the chain from the 3’towards the 5’-end.la1 As condensing agents for forming internucleotidic links, the arylsulphonyltriazoles (72) and (73),leaprepared from the corresponding sulphonyl chloride and (1H)-l,2,4-triazole, afford high yields, particularly when purine bases are present, and by-products resulting from the sulphonation of hydroxyl and base moieties are much reduced.lz29l z 3Both (72) and (73) have been employed for lengthy oligonucleotide s y n t h e s e ~la4 . ~ Arylsulphonyltetrazoles ~~~ (74), similarly prepared, 11‘ lL9 120 121

Treatment of 2-chlorophenyl phosphorodichloridate with one equivalent of 2,2,2-trichloroethanol affords (75), which reacts with 5’protected thymidine to give the 3’-phosphotriester in high yield.126Removal of the trichloroethyl group and subsequent condensation with the 5’-hydroxy-group of another nucleoside residue using TPS generates a protected internucleotide link. If a suitable min e , e.g. cyclohexylamine or morpholine, is used in place of trichloroethanol, the agents (76) are formed, which may be used to prepare nucleoside or oligonucleotide 3’- or 5’-ary1phosphoramidates.l2?Alternatively, treatment of 4chlorophenyl phosphorodichloridate with (1H)-l,2,4-triazole affords bis(triazolyl)4chlorophenyl phosphate (77),122which on successive treatments with a 5’-blocked

base-protected deoxynucleoside and 2-cyanoethanol affords the monoaryl monocyanoethyl nucleoside-3’-phosphotriester,suitable for deprotection and further coupling as described above. Tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF rapidly removes cyanoethyl, trichloroethyl, and phenyl groups from the internucleotide link under mild conditions,128a valuable finding which may well eliminate the danger of isomerization described previously. The condensed intermediates produced during oligonucleotide synthesis have been studied by adding TPS or DCC to thymidine phosphate derivatives and observing the resulting 31Pn.m.r. If 8-mercaptoadenosine-2’,3’-cyclic phosphate is treated with a phosphateactivating agent, e.g. diphenyl phosphorochloridate or tetraphenyl pyrophosphate, an oligomer is formed in which each phosphate is esterified by the 2’- and 3’hydroxy-groups of one nucleoside residue and the 5’-hydroxy-group of the next.

The simplest method for forming oligomers, however, is treating Ns-benzoyl-8,2’-S-cycloadenylic acid with DCC, and the same method has been used to oligomerize 6,2’-anhydro-6hydroxy-auauridylic acid (79).131The octamer of (79) appears to form 1 :1 or 2: 1 complexes with the octamer of (78), depending on the proportions mixed, and c.d. data suggest the formation of left-handed helices in each case.

When a mixture of dCTP, dGTP, dATP, and 5’-amino-5’-deoxy-TTP is incubated with DNA polymerase I, T4 DNA ligase, and the (+) strand of bacteriophage $X 174 as template, the (-) strand of the duplex circular DNA so formed contains phosphoramidate links,137demonstrable by chain breakage at pH 3.5, as shown by the effect on the sedimentation coefficient. 2’-0-(1-Methoxyethyl)nucleoside-5’-diphosphatesare ‘single addition’ substrates for polynucleotide phosphorylase for the synthesis of oligoribonucleotidesof defined sequence, and optimum conditions for their preparation have been described.138The polymerization of appropriate nucleoside 5’-diphosphates using this enzyme has led to the description of a number of new homopolynucleotides, including poly(7deaza-8-aza-adenylic acid),17 poly(isoguany1ic acid),139 poly(2’-O-ethylcytidylic acid),140 poly(5-aminouridylic acid),lg poly(8-aminoguanylic acid),141 poly(1methyl-6-thioinosinic acid),12 and poly(6-thioinosinic which was obtained from poly(6-chloropurinylic acid) by sulphydrolysis. 6-Thioinosine-5’-diphoshate,^^^ like N6-methoxy-2-aminoadenosine-5’-diphosphate1~ and 7-carboxamido7-deaza-S-a~a-adenosine-5’-diphosphate,~~ would not form a homopolymer but could be copolymerized with a suitable naturally occurring substrate. The polynucleotide analogues have generally been studied for their stacking properties and for the formation of ordered self-structures or complexes with complementary polynucleotides.

Several new repeating-sequence polydeoxyribonucleotides have been prepared, using combined chemical and enzymatic synthesis.lso Thus, the base-protected oligonucleotidesd(pApGpC) and d(pCpTpG) are synthesized by standard methods, and each is oligomerized using mesitylenesulphonyl chloride, and the bases are then deblocked.

as templates for DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Thus a set of repeatingsequence polynucleotides may be built from only two trinucleotide starting blocks. Starting with poly(dT) and poly(dC), by elegant enzymatic tailoring and the use of deoxynucleotidyl terminal transferase, it is possible to build block duplexes of the form d(CnAm) d(TmGn),151 The drug netropsin binds specifically to the oligo(dA)* oligo(dT) segment of the duplex, and it is found that the co-operative melting temperature is raised not only for this, but also for the oligo(dG).oligo(dC) segment. Similar results are obtained with actinomycin. It has been proposed that the bound drug stabilizes the helix at a point remote from the actual binding site (‘telestability’)lS1,lS2and that this represents a model for gene regulation at a distance. Sequencing.-With the elucidation of the primary and secondary structure of the replicase gene, the complete 3569-nucleotide-long sequence of the RNA of bacteriophage MS2 is now known.ls3This is the first organism for which theentire nucleic acid structure has been elucidated, and Fiers and his group richly deserve their bouquet. If polyribonucleotides are treated simultaneously with methoxylamine and bisulphite, cytidine residues are converted into 5,6-dihydro-N4-methoxycytidine-6sulphonate,ls4and uridine into 5,6-dihydrouridine-6-~ulphonate.~~~ Treatment with dilute ammonia regenerates the uridine residues, leaving the dihydrocytidine derivatives unaffected. When only the cytidine residues have been derivatized, pancreatic ribonuclease becomes ‘uridyl’ ribonuclease, since it is unable to cleave the chain on the 3’-side of the modified cytidine.lS4This allows the isolation of blocks of modified cytidine residues. T2 ribonuclease may also be used. Alternatively, a ribonuclease from Physavurn polycephalum has been found to hydrolyse CpX links very slowly, allowing the isolation of cytidine b10cks.l~~ If both uridine and cytidine residues are modified, T2 ribonuclease acts as ‘puryl’ ribonuclease, allowing the isolation of cumulative blocks of pyrimidines.155This ability to alter the specificity of nuclease cleavage is a useful tool in sequence analysis. Two very powerful new methods for DNA sequencing have been described in the past two years, and are summarized in a review letter.ls7One useful method in DNA sequencing, ‘ribo-sub~titution’,~~~ consists of allowing a complementary piece of DNA to be synthesized (‘repair’ or ‘copy’ synthesis) using DNA polymerase, manganese ion, three deoxynucleoside triphosphates, and one ribonucleoside triphosphate. Digestion with ribonuclease A then gives oligodeoxynucleotideswith a ribonucleotide 3’-terminus, which can then be sequenced by standard methods. Altering the identity of the ribonucleotide gives different oligonucleotide patterns, 150 Copy synthesis methods using DNA 160 and sequence determination is 151

If cobalt is used instead, not only does double-stranded DNA become an acceptable substrate, but ribonucleotides or homopolymer deoxyribonucleotide tracts may be added to all forms of duplex DNA at their 3’-ends, regardless of whether these are staggered or even.lS2This allows terminal labelling for sequence analysis at the cleavage sites of restriction endonucleases,1621 l e 3 or tail formation for in uitro studies on recombinant DNA.162 If RNA or double-stranded DNA containing some 5’-end phosphate groups is incubated with [Y-~~P]ATP and polynucleotide kinase, only those chains lacking a phosphorylated 5’-end are labelled. In the presence of ADP, however, all 5’-ends are labelled, since the ‘cold’ phosphate is exchanged via the reverse reaction of the enzyme. Comparison of the degrees of labelling with and without ADP gives the proportion of chains initially carrying a 5’-phosphate, and this method has been used to show a preference for the formation of 5’- over 3’-monoesters in high-pressure shearing of double-stranded RNA.16*Base analysis of the 3’-ends of breaking sites indicates that irradiation or mechanical breakage occurs randomly in prokaryotic DNA, but there seems to be a slight tendency for mechanical breakage of eukaryotic DNA to occur in thermodynamically less stable regions, possibly at (dA . dT) spacer Sequence analysis of the 5’-ends of viral and nuclear mRNA molecules reveals that these are frequently ‘capped’, with an unusual structure in which 7-methylguanosine is joined by a (5’-+5’) triphosphate link to a 2’-O-methyl nucleoside moiety which is the first residue in the (3’+5’)-linked polynucleotide chain.166-16gThe presence of this ‘cap’ structure is required for ribosomal binding and translation to take 168 and 7-methylguanosine-5’-pliosphate inhibits translation by preventing formation of the ribosome-niRNA complex.169 5 Analytical Techniques and Physical Methods Separation and Quantitation.-The specific radioactivity of [ p 32P]ATP of very high activity (up to 240 Ci per millimole) may be measured by using it to phosphorylate [dT(pT), 0] quantitatively, using polynucleotide kinase, isolating the labelled undecanucleotide, and measuring its activity.170 Isotope dilution is used to confirm the values. An alternative method of measuring specific radioactivities of ribonucleoside triphosphates utilizes a 3M-labellednucleoside triphosphate (e.g. UTP) of unknown specific activity, a 14C-labellednucleoside (e.g. ATP), a suitable primer (in M.

This method is usefully applicable to determination of sizes of pools of ribonucleoside triphosphate, and a similar method employing DNA polymerase has been described for the determination of picomole amounts of dCMP.173 The quantitative separation of nucleotides on mercurated Sephadex columns has been described.174Oligo(dT)-cellulose forms a complex with the poly(rA) tail of mouse globin mRNA. If deoxyribonucleosidetriphosphates and reverse transcriptase are added to this system, copy synthesis takes place to add the DNA complementary to mouse globin mRNA to the oligo(dT) tract. After washing with dilute alkali to hydrolyse the ribonucleic acid, the resulting complementary DNA column may be used to quantitate globin mRNA, a powerful new analytical method.175DNA columns have been prepared by adding DNA in DMSO to diazotized 3-aminobenzyloxymethylcellulose.1713 The determination of the molecular weight of animal cell RNA, using electrophoresis on exponential polyacrylamide gels under fully denaturing conditions, has been described.

The coupling constants and chemical shifts for ATP suggest that it is present as the magnesium complex.184Using data drawn from the published X-ray structures of nucleoside 2’,3’- and 3’,5’-cyclic phosphates, the variation of 31Pchemical shift with ring size in cyclic phosphodiesters has been interpreted as a function of 0-P-0 bond angle and torsional angles.lSsThe variation with pH of the 31Pchemical shifts in 2’-, 3’-, and 5’-CMP and 3’-UMP, both free in solution and bound to pancreatic ribonuclease, has been studied to gain information about the nature of phosphate binding at the active site.186The influence of lanthanide ions on the shifts of the slP resonances in ATP has been studied with a view to determining its conformation in aqueous In similar studies, the binding of dTTP to DNA polymerase I and the perturbation of the phosphorus relaxation times on adding the paramagnetic manganese ion have been investigated in an attempt to determine the nature of the metal-nucleotide interaction on the enzyme.lS8

a-Oxo-y-enaminomethylenephosphoranes (53) can be obtained from readily available isoxazole derivative^.^' These ylides show a reactivity comparable to that of those stabilized by a single carbonyl group, reacting with aromatic aldehydes to give compounds (54) which can be hydrolysed by aqueous HCl to the tricarbonyl-substituted alkenes (Scheme 16). Michael additions occur between (diethoxyviny1idene)triphenylphosphoraneand carbonyl compounds which have an a-CHz. The initial products eliminate EtOH to 56

10 Phosp hazenes BY R. KEAT

1 Introduction Interest in the basic chemistry of these compounds continues at about the same level as last year, except that the number of publications dealing with their applications has again increased. Review articles are mainly limited to the plenary lectures of the 1974 Prague Symposium on Inorganic Phosphorus Compounds, where relevant titles are: ‘Aspects of Structure and Bonding in Inorganic Phosphorus Compounds’,l ‘New Examination of Halides and Chalcogens of Phosphorus’,2 ‘Results and Problems connected with the P-N Bond’,3 and ‘Photoelectron Spectra and Bonding in Phosphorus compound^'.^ An attempt has been made to rationalize the bond angles at nitrogen in phosphazenes in terms of steric interactions. Finally, an excellent account of the properties and applications of polyphosphazenes derived from (NPCI,), has been published. 2 Synthesis of Acyclic Phosphazenes From Amines and Phosphorus(v) Halides.-Given a suitable primary amine, the Kirsanov reaction remains one of the most convenient routes to these compounds, e.g. (1) and (2).8In both investigations the trichlorophosphazenes were characterized by their now familiar reaction with formic acid :

RNzPC13

+

HC02H+RNHP(O)Cl2

HCl

CO

Where the phosphazene is dimeric, and forms a cyclodiphosphazane, (RNPCI,),, heating in the absence of solvent results in the formation of cyclic phosphazenes (3).9 When R = acyl, the products are a nitrile and phosphoryl chloride. The results for (MeNPCI,), are in agreement with previous work.1°

The imino-nitrogen a t o m in the phosphazenes undergo an ‘isomerization’ process which is of an intermediate rate on the n.m.r. time-scale at ambient temperatures. From Azides and Phosphorus(u1) Compounds.-The reactions of aminophosphines, and of phosphites, with trimethylsilyl azide are not as simple as might be expected, in view of the formation of significant quantities of by-products, (11) and (12), which have been identified.21 (Me2N)3P + MesSiN3 + (MezN)sP=NSiMes (MezN)sP=NP(NMe2)2 =NSiMes N2 MesSiNMe2 (1 1) (Me0)3P + MesSiNs +(MeO)sP=NSiMez N2 (MeO)zP(O)NMeSiMe3 (12)

The influence of phosphorus basicity on the reactions of aminophosphines with azides has been nicely demonstrated by comparing the reactions of (Me,N),P, MeC(CH,NMe),P, and P(NMeNMe),P with phenyl azide.22It was argued that the base strength of the acyclic phosphine is higher because of the repulsive interactions between the nitrogen lone pairs and the phosphorus lone pair. This stabilizes the intermediate, (Me,N),P=N -N=NPh, and renders its decomposition slower than, for example, that of MeC(CH,NMe),P=N.N=NPh. The base strength of the free l6

It seems probable that these reactions proceed by nucleophilic attack of the phosphorus atom on the carbonyl group or activated olefin with the formation of a dipolar ion intermediate, which rearranges to a phosphazene by migration of a hydrogen atom or silyl group.

This phosphazene is thermally unstable and, somewhat surprisingly, the silyl group migrates to nitrogen, forming (RO),P(O)NSiMe,N=CHCO,Et at ambient temperatures.

The energies of absorptions observed in the U.V. spectra of the phosphazenes R13P=NCR2=C(CN)2 (R1= Ph, R2 = H, C1, or CC13; R1 = C1, R2 = C1 or CCl ,) have been compared with energies obtained from molecular orbital calculations.64 Amino-, Alkyl, and Aryl Derivatives.-Although few results on the synthesis of new phosph(1n)azenes have appeared, the reactions of this interesting group of compounds have been of particular interest. It has now been found that (Me,Si),NP= NSiMe,, the first phosph(r~~)azene to be isolated, undergoes slow dimerization at ambient temperatures. The crystal structure of this dimer, [(Me,Si),NP=NSiMe,],, has been e~tablished.~~ The ring is planar and the silylamino-groups adopt a mutual trans-orientation, with considerable steric crowding affecting the bond angles at nitrogen in these amino-groups. The reactions of the monomer (Me,Si),NP= NSiMe, with halogen compounds have been studied in detail (typical results are shown in Scheme 5).6s Br

The Ph3P=N- group can produce a strong deactivating effect, and where more than one chlorine atom is to be replaced by these groups in the same molecule, difficulties can arise. For example, reactions with PhP(S)CI2and with C3N,C13gave only PhP(S)CIN=PPh3 and C,N,CI(N=PPh,), re~pectively,~~ although there seems to be no difficulty in obtaining (Ph3P=N)3P0 and (Ph,P=N),PhPO by this route.72 Phosphorus(1n) chlorides do not always give simple products. Thus it was not possible to obtain PhP(N=PPh3)2 by this 72 and PhPC12and Ph,P=NSiMe, gave PhP(N=PPh3)2Me3SiC1.72 The trimethylsilyl-phosphazeneis useful in reactions with Pc13:72

The formation of (39) provides examples of a rearrangement where the rate is related to the acidity of the phenolic proton. N-Arylphosphazenes Ph3P=NC6H4X-p(X = H, Me, hal, or NOz) form adducts with stannic chloride in which the P-N absorption in the i.r. spectra near 1300 cm-l disappears.s2From this it was inferred that the donor atom is nitrogen and that the P-N bond order is reduced. The phosphazene Ph,P=NPh undergoes preferential metallation by phenyl-lithium in the ortho-positions of a P-phenyl group, probably because lithium can be complexed intramolecularly by the phosphazene nitrogen atom in this position.83In the P-alkyl-substituted derivatives Ph2RP=NPh (R = Me or Bun) metallation occurs at the a-carbon atom.

4 Synthesis of Cyclic Phosphazenes Yet more improvements in the synthesis of chlorocyclophosphazeneshave appeared. Yields in the PC15-NH4Cl reaction are increased by the use of heavy-metal salts as catalystsYg3 but similar results may also be achieved by the use of acid-treated montmorillonite clay.94The use of surfactants can also improve yields of cycIic products.95 The new phosphazene triazene hybrid ring compound (42) can be obtained from cyanamide by two slightly different routes, A g6 and B 9 7 (Scheme 11). Substitution of ammonia in route B leads to further ring compounds (43) and (Ma, b).97 Methylcyclophosphazenes N3P3Me6 and N,P,Me are more conveniently prepared and separated using methylamine hydrochloride, rather than ammonium chloride, in the reaction with Me2PC13.98The initial product from this reaction is probably (Me,PClNMe),, which on pyrolysis gives a mixture of N,P,Me, * MeCl and 86 87 88 89

The second example is formed in the reaction of 2,6-N4P4C16(NHEt),with dimethylamine in chloroform solution to form (49).l14 The crystal structure of (49) (see Section 8) reveals that the bridging P-N bonds are very long, and that the bridge nitrogen atom has considerable sp3 character.

The importance of steric effects has been emphasized in understanding the reactions of N3P3Cl,with dibenzylamine and ben~ylarnine.~~~ This is particularly true of reactions with the former amine, which gave only two derivatives,N3P3C1,N(CH,Ph), and non-geminal N3P3C1,[N(CH,Ph),],. The remaining chlorine atoms in these derivatives can, however, be selectively replaced by dimethylamino-groups. These products include N3P3C1N(CH2Ph)2(NMe2)a, the first example of a stable pentaaminomonochloro-derivative, in which reactions at the =PClN(CH,Ph) group are sterically hindered. Benzylamine is, as expected, more reactive, and gives a series of derivatives N3P3Cl,-,(NHCH,Ph)n, n = 1, 2 (two isomers), 4, and 6. Structures were established by lH n.m.r. spectroscopy and by the preparation of mixed benzylamino-dimethylamino-derivatives. Interestingly, the non-geminal isomer predominates when n = 2, but the n = 4 isomer has a geminal structure. The reaction of N3P3CI, with the N-sodio-derivative NaNMeP(O)(OEt), gives a series of derivatives N3P3Cl,-,[NMeP(0)(OEt)2]n, n = 1, 2 (non-geminal), and 3 (surprisingly, gemina1),l16 the structures of which were established by IH and 31P n.m.r.

Crystallographic work suggests that the latter behaviour can be correlated with a preferred conformation in which the plane containing the exocyclic P-N-P unit is perpendicular to the phosphazene ring (53). Ring protonation, and better electron transfer to the phosphazene ring, occurs when the Ph3P=N- group in (53) is turned through approximately 90"(see also ref. 1).

Alkoxy- and Ary1oxy-derivatives.-The results of a complete study of the replacement of chlorine in N3P3C16by trifluoroethoxy-groups have appeared.lZ2Sodium trifluoroethoxide gives the series N,P3CI,-n(OCH,CF,)n, n = 1, 2 (two isomers), 3 (two isomers), 4 (two isomers), 5, and 6, and the structures of those derivatives where n = 2, 3, and 4 were established by n.m.r. spectroscopy. Dipole moments were not very useful for distinguishing isomers. The reaction follows a predominantly trans-non-geminal pathway, and the authors suggest that this may be accounted for 118 119 120 lzl

In N3P3C1,(NMe,),(OCH,CF3), both trifluoroethoxy-groups are bonded to the same phosphorus atom, but it is not clear whether this is the result of steric control also. The structures of the fluoroalkoxy-derivatives N3P3C16-n(OCH2C,F5), (n = 2, 3, or 4), reported previously, have now been shown by 31Pn.m.r. spectroscopy to be n0n-gemina1.l~~ The same technique was used to show that N3P3C14[OCHp(CF2)3CH20] has a spiro-structure (54).

11 Photochemical, Radical, and Deoxygenation Reactions BY R. S. DAVIDSON

1 Photochemical Reactions Further studies have been made of the quenching of excited singlet states by triphenylphosphine1*2and triphenyl phosphite.2 Rate constants were determined for the quenching of the fluorescence of a variety of 9-mono- and 9,lO-di-substituted anthracenes by the ph0sphine.l The constants approached the diffusion-controlled limit when electron-withdrawing substituents were present. The constants were markedly lower for anthracenes containing electron-donating substituents. It was proposed that high rate constants were obtained when quenching occurred by a predominantly electron-transfer process and that the lower rate constants reflected a change in the quenching mechanism to one in which an intermediate complex was formed where binding energy was mainly due to exciton resonance. However, it should be pointed out that the experimentally determined rate constants (k,) are composite rate constants i.e. ArH*(Sl)

k, k, + Ph3P + [ArHPh3P]* +ArH(S0) + PhsP(S0)

k-I

and lower than diffusion-controlled values are often obtained because of the increasing efficiency of the reverse process, i.e. inc~eases.~ Thus, before any real conclusions can be reached about the mechanism of the quenching process, the effect of temperature upon the quenching constants (k,) will have to be determined. Triphenylphosphine and triphenyl phosphite both quench the fluorescence of fluorenone (k, = 4.5 x logand 2.1 x lo81 mol-1 s-l in benzene solution).2 Since the quenching efficiency is insensitive to solvent polarity, it was concluded that the quenching complex had little charge-transfer character. The lower reactivity of the phosphite compared with phosphine and the lack of quenching by triphenylphosphine oxide demonstrated that the efficiencyof quenching was dependent on the availability of the lone pair on phosphorus. There has been the very interesting report that dialkyl(hydroxymethy1)phosphines rearrange to dialkylmethylphosphine oxides on irradiation with U.V. light.4 No mechanistic details are available. Irradiation of the phosphine (1) causes a molecular rearrangement, and it was proposed that the primary chemical reaction is C-P bond cleavage.6 a

Irradiation of dianisyl alkyl phosphates gives alkyl phosphates and 4,4'-dimethoxybiphenyl in yields exceeding 90%.6 As stated by the authors, this type of reaction appears to have promise for the synthesis of nucleotides. The phosphonium compounds (2) normally give the phosphonates (3) quite readily on heating. However, when R = Ph the salts are thermally stable but will rearrange under the influence of U.V. radiation.'

Addition of tristearyl phosphite to polyethylene containing ferric acetylacetonate has been shown to decrease the stability of the polymer towards photo-oxidation.* 2 Phosphinidenes and Related Species A comprehensive review of the chemistry of phosphinidenes has been published,g and topics such as their preparation, spectroscopic properties, and reactions used to trap such species are dealt with. The chemistry of phosphinidene oxides and sulphides is also reviewed. Several reactions, e.g. of (4) (Scheme 1),lo (5),11 and (6),12 have been reported in which phosphinidene oxides are probably produced, although there is no conclusive evidence for the generation of such species.

The reaction of cis- and trans-stilbene oxides with phenylphosphonothioic dichloride in the presence of magnesium gives cis- and trans-stilbene and (7).13 Phenylphosphinidene sulphide is postulated as being an intermediate. The zwitterion (8) bears a remarkable similarity to the controversial perepoxides which are thought to be intermediates in the reaction of singlet oxygen with alkenes.

3 Radical Reactions Several radical anions such as (9) have been prepared and their e.s.r. spectra recorded.'* It was found, from calculations, that dn-pn interactions are of much greater significance than pn-pn interactions. The previous report l5 that U.V. irradiation of phosphine in krypton gives PH, has been criticized.16The e.s.r. spectrum, previously interpreted as being due to PH, radicals, has been re-interpreted as being due to (H,PPH,)+= radicals. The calculated spectrum of this radical is in good agreement with the one obtained experimentally, and also there is a very close resemblance between this and the spectrum of radical (10).

s- sbeen prepared by y-irradiation of triinethylphosphine at - 196 O C . 1 7 The radical (Me,PPMe,)+* was also formed in this system. It was noted that the replacement of apical groups by groups less electronegative than RO in phosphoranyl radicals PX., leads to a transfer of spin density from the central atom to the o-orbitals, leading to a destabilization of the radical. Thus, as spin density in the apical bonds is increased, the tendency for phosphoranyl radicals to undergo an a-scission reaction is increased. There is good experimental evidence to support the view that a-scission occurs preferentially from apical positions.18 The kinetics of the a-scission reactions of R1R2P(OBut), have been examined by e.s.r. spectroscopy. In none of the cases examined could the reactivity of the radicals be explained solely on the ease of C-P bond fission, and therefore the conclusion was reached that it is the relative stabilities of the permutational isomers of the phosphoranyl radicals which are of prime importance. Thus in the case of (lla) and (llb), it is the less stable (lla) which undergoes the a-scission reaction. Just the opposite view has been put forwardxgto explain the reactivity of (12) towards the thiyl radicals (13a-c). From the fact that substitution is favoured over oxidation for the series (1 3c) > (13b) > (13a) it was concluded that the relative strengths of the C-P and C-S bonds controlled the outcome of these reactions.

When polar solvents are used the phosphoranyl radicals can break up either by loss of halide ion or by formation of phosphino radicals.28The radicals obtained by y-irradiation of phenylphosphinic and phenylphosphonic acids have been examined by e.s.r. At room temperature, phenylphosphinic acid gave PhP( :O)OH and cyclohexadienyl radicals having the partial structures (19) and (20). In contrast, irradiation at 77 K gave radical (21). Annealing of the matrix led to the observation of radicals (22). The proton in this radical was shown by

deuterium labelling to have been originally bound to phosphorus. Cyclohexadienyl radicals of the type (19) and (20) were also obtained from phenylphosphonic acid and diphenylphosphinic acid. Attempts have been made to demonstrate that the formation of radicals such as (24) involves prior formation of phosphoranyl radicals such 23 24

By the use of open-shell CNDO$ calculations, the geometries of a variety of phosphoranyl radicals have been determined.32The validity of using this type of calculation is attested to by the fact that the calculated hyperfine coupling constants for the radicals are in close agreement with the experimentally determined ones. The anion of di-isopropyl phosphorothiolothionic acid (26) reduces hydroxyl radicals, and the radical (27) so produced is detectable by e . ~ . rAttempts .~~ to observe these radicals by photolysis of the free acid were unsuccessful. However, the use of a spin trap (e.g. N-methylene-t-butylamineN-oxide) enabled radicals in this system and other closely related systems [e.g.with (28)] to be observed by e.s.r. spectroscopy.

4 Deoxygenation and Desulphurization Reactions A review has been published which describes the use of deoxygenation reactions in synthesis.44There have been some interesting uses of the deoxygenation of 1,4endoperoxides, prepared by the addition of singlet oxygen to cyclohexa-l,4-dienes. Epoxide (39)45and the benzene diepoxide (40)4shave been synthesized in this way. Pyrazine (41) reacts with singlet oxygen to give a 1,4-endoperoxide which is reduced by triphenylphosphine to (42).47 The chemistry of arene oxides is of particular interest because of the possible role of these compounds in chemical carcinogenesis. Deoxygenation reactions have been successfully used in the synthesis of these compounds, e.g. (43),4* (44),49 and (45).50 Another application of deoxygenation reactions has been to the polemical problem as to the mechanism of ozonolysis of olefins. An ozonide was allowed to react61awith acetaldehyde labelled at oxygen to give a molozonide, which was deoxygenated by triphenylphosphine. Examination of the products showed that the label was located at the ether oxygen, which once again makes the refined Criegee mechanism51bthe favourite. There is a valuable discussion 41 42 43

Organophosphorus Chemistry

The deoxygenation of some penicillin and cephalosporin sulphoxides has been accomplished by the use of phosphorus p e n t a ~ u l p h i d e .The ~ ~ ~reactive species responsible for deoxygenation was not identified. A particularly mild method for reducing sulphoxides to sulphides involves the reaction of the sulphoxide with 2-chloro-l,3,2-benzodioxaphosphole at room f e m p e r a t ~ r e . ~ Yields ~ in excess of 80 % were reported. Acyl-nitroso-compounds are deoxygenated by triphenylphosphine to give isocyanates, and reaction via the zwitterion (46) was po~tulated.~*

The reaction of several derivatives of N-nitrosoanilines with tervalent phosphorus compounds has been shown to give diazo-benzenes, which in some cases give benzynes in low yield.55A kinetic study has been made of the deoxygenation of 2-nitrobenzylidenederivatives of substituted anilines by several tervalent phosphorus esters and a m i d e ~The . ~ ~reaction is very sensitive to the nature of the deoxygenating agent, and the order of reactivity observed was (Me,N),P > (EtO),PMe z EtOPPh, > EtOP(NEt 2)2 z (Et0)2PNC5Hlo> (MeO)3Pz(EtO),P z (PriO)3P. Tervalent phosphorus compounds having the phosphorus atom contained in a five-membered ring are relatively unreactive. This is attributed to the fact that ring strain in the tetragonal intermediate produced by attack upon the nitro-group is much greater than in the starting phosphorus compound. There has been a series of papers on the deoxygenation of 2-nitrophenyl phenyl ethers and sulphides. Of particular interest has been the role of pentacovalent intermediates (47) in these reactions. These are certainly not the primary intermediates in the reactions but are of great importance in determining the course of the reaction. Their genesis is thought to be that shown in Scheme 3.57 A number of pentacovalent compounds of the type (47) have been isolated from reactions of ether^.^'-^^ The structures of the compounds were established by n.m.r. spectroscopy and X-ray ~rystallography.~~~ 5 9 The stability of these intermediates 53 54

The abbreviations PIII, PIV, and PV refer to the co-ordination number of phosphorus and the compounds in each subsection are usually dealt with in this order. A number of relevant theoretical and inorganic studies are included in this chapter. In the formulae the letter R represents hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl, X represents electronegative substituents, Ch represents the chalcogenides (usually oxygen and sulphur), and Y and Z are used to indicate a wide variety of substituents. 1 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy The very high accuracy which may be obtained by the pulsed Fourier transform method has been demonstrated using o-phenylene phosphorochloridite.l Biological Applications.-Following the extensive n.m.r. studies of the stereochemistry of nucleotides2attention is now being turned to linking the n.m.r. results with circular dichroismS, and other proper tie^.^ Phosphorus n.m.r. spectroscopy has been used to assist oligonucleotide synthesis6and has been applied to model and biological membrane systems.*Procedures have been described for the measurement of an order parameter for the phosphate head group in phospholipid bilayen6 Structural and dynamical studies of mixed chlorophyll-phosphatidylcholinebilayers have been reported.

Use of very high magnetic fields, which may be obtained from super-conducting magnets, permits the chemical shielding anisotropy to dominate dipolar broadening. In this way, order parameters have been estimated for lipid phosphates.13 Proton decoupling has been used to remove PH dipolar broadening so as to reveal the tensorial information contained in the chemical shielding anisotropy of rigid or slowly moving phospholipid molecules.14In addition the principal values and orientation of the shielding tensor were determined from the 31Pspectrum of a single crystal of phosphorylethanolamine.The broader 31P signals of t-RNA at high field (65 kG) are attributed to chemical shift anisotropy.16 The 31Pn.m.r. spectra of developing tadpoles showed that the main phosphorus component was yolk phosphoprotein.ls Inorganic phosphate (ca. 30 mmol/embryo) was detected at the swimming tadpole stage. It appeared that the phosphate groups of the nucleotide triphosphates were bound in uiuo to a divalent cation.

The chemical shifts of the phospholans (3) allow the estimation of the relative configurations in these The cis-2,3-diphenylphospholans, e.g. (3; R = Ph, X = 0),resonate at lower field than the trans-isomers. For other substituents the reverse generally applies. The stereochemistry of the dioxaphosphorinans (4), which has been rationalized in terms of lone-pair interaction^,^^ also manifests itself in stereo-dependent chemical shifts.26The strong dependence of 8~ on the steric disposition of the phosphorus groups on a cyclohexane ring has enabled the determination of conformational free-energy differences between (5) and (6).2s The Me I

PH, and PMe, groups follow the trend for methyl groups, with the axial group appearing more upfield. The opposite is true for the PCI, and four-co-ordinate groups. The reversal of the effect for the PCl, group is most striking (ASP 14.3 p.p.m.), showing that steric compression does not always produce shielding. By lowering the temperature, the individual conformers were observed directly, and AG * values calculated from Tc were in good agreement with those calculated from the averaged chemical shifts. It was evident that replacement of the 4-methyl group by the t-butyl group had only a small effect on 6~ of the equatorial phosphorus groups. The disappearance of the 31Psignal for (5 and 6; R = Me) near Tc occurred as a consequence of the very large difference in 8~ (axial) and 8~ (equatorial). 6~ of PIv Compounds. The reactions of alkyl-lithium reagents with methylphosphonium salts give lithium salt adducts (7) and not pure methylenephosphoranes (8). This accounts for the similarity of the chemical shifts of ylides and corresponding salts which has been observed in several cases. Other salts such as the ethyl and isopropyl compounds give the ylides if the solution of salt and organolithium reagent is stirred for at least 2 h. CND0/2 Calculations indicate that the lithium ion does not significantly alter the electron density or conformation about the methylene group except that the phosphorus atom loses electron density.27The subject of d-orbital

The pronounced 10 p.p.m. upfield shift upon replacing the ,!?-methylgroup of the phospholen (10; Y = Me; BP -76.0 p.p.m.) by a ,&rnethoxy-group is attributed to a resonance interaction by the methoxy-group in (10; Y = MeO) with the phosphorus atom through the double bond.31The resultant increase in dn-p,, bonding could replace the loss of dn--pnbonding which is thought to be the cause of the downfield shift for cyclic phosphine oxides compared to acyclic oxides.

-45 1 Hz for (45 ;R = But), which is due to rehybridization rather than a change in conformational populations.71 The changes are rationalized by increases in the bond angles, which reduce the s-character in the hybrid orbitals used to form the n-bond between the two phosphorus atoms. The catenated phosphorus dianions such as the disodium and dipotassium tetraphenylphosphines (46) give spectra with positive and temperature-dependent P-P coupling constants in accordance with the cyclic structures shown.72The direct P1I1-PIV coupling constant for the phosphinophosphinimines (47) was found to increase with decreasing basicity of the N Y As with the diphosphines above, t-butyl groups also greatly increase the magnitude of ~JPP in the disulphides (48).22c* 74 The mixed chalcogenides (49a; R = C,Hll) and (49a; R = But) had lJpp values of 175 and 149.5 Hz re~pectively.~~ The spectra of 0

The selenide (50) and the cyclic phosphonate (51) show larger ~ J P values C to the 79 equatorial carbon atoms than to the axial carbon atoms in the other thus the coupling is 145.0 Hz for (51) but only 132.8 Hz when the methyl group is

axial. It is deduced from the P-C coupling constants from the low-temperature spectra of tetra-alkyldiphosphines (45) that NPC(i.e. ~ J P+ C*JPc)is large when the P--C bond is trans to the phosphorus lone-pair of electrons, as shown in (52), and small when the P--C bond is gauche to the lone pair of electrons, as shown in (53).80 For the diphosphine (45; R = But) it is deduced that NPCis 45.5 Hz for the bond in the tramorientation and 1 Hz for the bond in the gauche-orientation. It is interesting to note that the geminal PCC coupling constant of dichloro-t-butylphosphine (54), measured at - 140 "C, is at a minimum (0 Hz) when the C-C bond is trans to the phosphorus lone-pair of electrons and at a maximum (31.5 Hz) when the C-C bond is gauche to the lone-pair of electrons.81The appearance of averaged coupling constants for isopropyldichlorophosphine (55; R = Me, JPC= 17.5 Hz) and

ethyldichlorophosphine (55; R = H, a J p ~= 13.6 Hz) indicates that the conformers with a methyl group trans to the lone-pair of electrons predominate in a rapidly interconverting conformational equilibrium. The signs and magnitudes of the one-, two-, and three-bond P-C couplings for a series of acetylenic phosphines (56) and some PIV derivatives (57) have been described.82In contrast to the PIV derivatives, orbital coupling and/or spin dipolar mechanisms are probably dominant for the phosphines, due to the negligible s-character in the P - C bonds. The vicinal POCC coupling constants for the phosphite (58; Y = SMe)85and the amino-compound (58; Y = N H B u ~ )in , ~the ~ cis configurations shown, are over double those when the group Y is axial.

Methylene ylides prepared by other methods give ~ J P values C in the region of 90-100 H z . ~ The ' P-C couplings through 1-5 bonds of model phosphonates such as (59) and (27) show that the vicinal coupling constants are at a maximum when the bonds are orientated at 180"and severely attenuated by OH substitution, especially when the hydroxy-group is trans-coplanar to the C-terminus of the coupling path. When a cyclopropyl group is part of the CCCP pathway, the coupling constants are much less than those predicted on the basis of dihedral angle. A highly asymmetric dihedral dependence of the vicinal couplings has been suggested. Some long-range C-P couplings through saturated bonds have been found which do not follow a W path.47 JPC,H.The geminal PCH coupling constants of the phosphinoacetonitriles (60) decrease with an increase of the bulk of the alkyl groups; thus 2 J is 5.1 ~ Hz~ for ~ (60; R = Et) and 2.1 Hz for (60; R = But).84The corresponding oxides have

larger coupling constants, 14.2 and 12.6 Hz respectively, the trend in magnitude being the same as in the phosphines. MO-LCAO calculations on the oxides (61) indicate that JPCH is dependent on the orientation of the HCPO bonds. The calculated values varied from 10 to 16 Hz for (61 ;Y = Me) and a remarkable 3 to 31 Hz for (61; Y = Cl).85The CNDO-CP method gave coupling constants closer to a normal Karplus relationship than those deduced experimentally from rigid molecules, whereas the reverse applied when the Pople-Sanky approximation was used.

The unpaired electron is coupled to all the protons in the molecule as well as to the two phosphorus atoms, and shows that the electron is completely delocalized.

UHF and CND0/2 calculations indicate that the barriers to pseudorotation are very much higher for phosphoranyl radicals than for phosphoranes, e.g. 25.2 kcal mol-l for (87), 26.3 kcal mol-1 for (88), cf. 3.6 kcal mol-1 estimated for phosphorus pentafluoride. The high barriers appear to arise from a high p-character of the radial bonds, which leads to increased rigidity of these bonds. The calculations indicate that for electronegative ligands the orbital of the odd electron has a large contribution from the phosphorus s and p z electrons, but that for ligands of low electronegativity the s spin density decreases and the px density increases.11o The e.s.r. spectra of y-irradiated diethyl phosphate and its salts have been studiedlll and the structuresof the phosphonates(89) 112 and somenucleoside phosphates113have been studied from the e.s.r. spectra of the nitroxide spin-labelled compounds.

Organophosphorus Chemistry

two such phosphine sulphide groups are linked by a methylene chain or ethene group, as in (160), the phenyl groups migrate from one phosphorus atom to the other or to l ~ ~mass spectra of the the sulphur atom bound to the other phosphorus g r 0 ~ p . The difluorides (161) also provide evidence for the migration of aryl groups, in this case to the oxygen atom. Fragmentations involving loss of carbon monoxide (which are common with phenates) are detected, and therefore the molecular ion is assigned the three-co-ordinate structure (162).Ig7 A wide range of dioxaphosphorinans (163) has been studied. In all cases hydrogen migration from the cyclic alkyl residue is an important feature. Other fragmentations are the result of simple bond fission. Deuteriation shows that the loss of methyl comes entirely from the geminal groups at C-5. The ionization potentials are lowest when a phenyl group is present, i.e. (163; Y = Ph, OPh, or CH,Ph), which is attributed to the removal of an electron from the aryl ring rather than from the usual ester oxygen atom. There is another exception when Y is a dirnethylamino-gr~up.~~~ A range of alkylphosphonic acids (164) which possess hydrogen at the 8-position of the alkyl group eliminate a methyl group or hydrogen to give daughter ions which fragment with loss of water. The methyl and bromomethyl acids (164; R = Me or CH,Br) fragment with immediate loss of water.lggThe mass spectra of a range of

phosphorylated derivatives of phenols have also been reported.200Combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry has been used to analyse the acetolysis products of phosphatidylcholine201and for the determination of l 6 0 to l8O ratios in inorganic phosphates after their conversion into tributyl phosphate.202The g.1.c.mass spectral identification of steroids uiu the dimethylphosphinic esters and the corresponding thiophosphinic esters has been investigated.203 10 pKa and Thermochemical Studies A comparison of the basicities of Group VA element organic derivatives in nitromethane solution showed that trioctylphosphine oxide (165; R = octyl) is a much weaker base than the corresponding amine oxide or hexamethylphosphoric triamide.

This is attributed to p,,-d, back-bonding in (165).204A comparison of acidity of the phosphine oxides such as (166) with the sulphides showed that the oxides are far more sensitive to changes in the media, and their pKa’s in diglyme are three to five orders of magnitude higher than they are in DMSO. The comparisons were made by transmetallation relative to the indicator-acid f l u ~ r e n eThe . ~ ~study ~ has been extended to substituted benzylphosphine oxides (167), and it was concluded that the sensitivity of the oxides to changes in the media is due to co-ordination of the cation to the phosphoryl group.2osMeasurement of the base-catalysed deuterium exchange of the a-protons in a series of phosphine oxides, phosphine sulphides, and phosphonium salts showed that their acidities increase in the order given, and that the acidities of the trialkylphosphineoxides increased with shortening of the alkyl chain.2o7The pKa values of the hexamethylenediamine derivatives (168) 208 and the methylenediphosphonic acids (169) 209 have been measured, and Hammett-Taft correlations made in the latter work. The standard enthalpies of combustion and formation of crystalline phosphonic and phosphinic acids (170), (171), and (172) have been determined.210 The reactions of a variety of PI11 chloro-compounds (173; X and Y = Cl, OEt, Et, or Ph) with acetal to give PI11 esters (174) have been followed by thermogravimetry.211
