Abstract
P-enantiomerically pure cyclic phosphonamides have been synthesized via a cyclisation reaction of (S, S)-aminobenzylnaphthols with chloromethylphosphonic dichloride. The reaction is highly stereoselective and gives almost exclusively (S, S, SP)-cyclic phosphonamides in good yields. Analysis of the X-ray crystal structures shows clearly that the cyclisation reaction forces the two naphthyl rings into a stable parallel displaced stacking assembly and indicates also the existence of intra-molecular CH…pi interactions and weak forms of inter-molecular hydrogen bondings, involving the oxygen and the chlorine atoms. QM computations and NMR spectra in solution confirm the stacked molecular assembly as the preferred arrangement of the two naphthyl groups.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
