Access to 2-Fluorinated Aziridine-2-phosphonates from α,α-Halofluorinated β-Iminophosphonates—Spectroscopic and Theoretical Studies
Résumé
The efficient one-pot halofluorination of a β-enaminophosphonate/β-iminophosphonate tautomeric mixture resulting in α,α-halofluorinated β-iminophosphonates is reported. Subsequent imine reduction gave the corresponding β-aminophosphonates as a racemic mixture or with high diastereoselectivity. The proposed protocol is the first example of a synthesis of N-inactivated aziridines substituted by a fluorine and phosphonate moiety on the same carbon atom. Based on spectroscopic and theoretical studies, we determined the cis/trans geometry of the resulting fluorinated aziridine-2-phosphonate. Our procedure, involving the reduction of cis/trans-fluoroaziridine mixture 24, allows us to isolate chiral trans-aziridines 24 as well as cis-aziridines 27 that do not contain a fluorine atom. We also investigated the influence of the fluorine atom on the reactivity of aziridine through an acid-catalyzed regioselective ring-opening reaction. The results of DFT calculations, at the PCM/ωB97x-D/def2-TZVPD level of theory, are in good agreement with the experiments. The transition states of the SN2 intramolecular cyclization of vicinal haloamines have been modeled.
