Abstract

Treatment of a catalytic amount of DBU (20 mol%) with a mixture of diethyl 3-cyanoallylphosphonate 1 and N-tosylsulfonylimines 2 gave diethyl 3-cyanobuta-1,3-dienylphosphonates 3 in 72–83% yields. All the products (3a–3h) are assigned 1E,3Z configurations on the basis of the crystal structure of diethyl (1E,3Z[hair space])-3-cyano-4-naphthylbuta-1,3-dienylphosphonate (3h), the proton NMR spectra and the proposed reaction mechanism.

  16. Both E and Z isomers can be used in this reaction, since the reaction is via carbanion 4(see Scheme 2). The coupling constants of the vinyl Hs in all products 3 are within the range 18.0–17.2 Hz, showing that H-atoms across the C2–C3 double bond are trans(1E).
