Abstract

Transformations of α-hydroxyphosphonates derived from proline or serine by treatment with different deoxyfluorinating reagents (DAST, Deoxofluor, PyFluor) are reported. Depending on the applied reagent, as well as the protecting group used (N-Cbz, N-Boc, N-Bn) different types of products are observed. The reaction of N-Cbz or N-Boc prolinols with DAST or Deoxofluor due to aziridinium intermediate participation gave fluorinated amino phosphonates such as piperidine and pyrrolidine derivatives and/or oxazolidine-2-ones. Similarly, the analogous reaction of N-Cbz or N-Boc protected serinol yielded oxazolidine-2-ones or its fluorinated analogues. As the second type of product formed by DAST-induced reaction of serine derivatives, aziridines were obtained. Only in the case of deoxyfluorination of N-benzyl prolinols were both diastereoisomers of β-fluoropiperidine-α-phosphonates formed, while the reaction of protected N-benzyl serinols gave fluorinated oxazolidines. Moreover, application of PyFluor gave sulfonate derivatives.
