EFFICIENT SYNTHESIS OF α-ENAMINOPHOSPHONATES IN THE SERIES OF PIPERIDINE AND MORPHOLINE. Examples of synthetic applications

Recent approaches towards one-carbon homologation-functionalization of aldehydes

One-carbon homologation-functionalization in organic synthesis is a quite challenging and difficult task in terms of atom economy, ease of reaction, selectivity and number of steps involved. Due to the reactivity associated with most classes of carbonyls, these groups have always attracted a great deal of attention from synthetic chemists to transform them into various functionalities. In this context various researchers developed new methods for one-carbon extension-functionalization of carbonyls that serve as effective synthetic methodologies and are widely used in target-oriented and natural product synthesis. On account of the vast applicability associated with these transformations, herein we seek to summarize and highlight the important synthetic achievements in this advancing arena for various one-carbon homologation cum functionalization reactions of aldehydes and deep dive into some modern approaches adopted by organic chemists.

Chemistry of phosphorylated formaldehyde derivatives. Part I

The underinvestigated derivatives of unstable phosphorylated formaldehyde acetals and some of the structurally related compounds, such as thioacetals, aminonitriles, aminomethylphosphinoyl compounds, are considered. Separately considered are halogen aminals of phosphorylated formaldehyde, acetals of phosphorylated formaldehyde of H-phosphinate-type and a phosphorylated gem-diol of formaldehyde. Synthetic methods, chemical properties and examples of practical applications are given.
