Abstract

The >C=P– functionality in annelated azaphospholes acts as a dienophile and undergoes Diels–Alder reactions with dienes. 1,3-Bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-phosphaindolizines react with dienes even in the absence of a catalyst; however, in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as sulfur or selenium, the reaction is much faster. 3-Alkoxycarbonyl-2-phosphaindolizines with an electron-withdrawing group exclusively at position 3 undergo the Diels–Alder reaction only in the presence of a Lewis acid. Density functional theory calculations reveal strong hyperconjugative interactions between the nitrogen lone pair and the >C=P– functionality of the 3-alkoxycarbonyl-2-phosphaindolizine, making it electron-rich. However, in 1,3-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-phosphaindolizines, the ester group at the position 1 acts as a sink for the lone pair of electrons of nitrogen leaving the >C=P– functionality sufficiently electron-deficient to undergo the Diels–Alder reaction.
