✦ Synopsis
4-Phosphoranylidene-5(4H)-oxazolones 1 undergo hydrolysis in THF in the presence of HBF 4 at room temperature to give N-acyl-atriphenylphosphonioglycines 3 (R 2 = H) in very good yields. 4-Alkyl-4-triphenylphosphonio-5(4H)-oxazolones 2 react with water in CH 2 Cl 2 /THF solution without any acidic catalyst at 0-5 °C in a few days yielding N-acyl-a-triphenylphosphonio-a-amino acids 3 (R 2 = Me) or a-(N-acylamino)alkyltriphenylphosphonium salt 4 (R 2 = CH 2 OMe). a-Triphenylphosphonio-a-amino acids 3, on heating up to 105-115 °C under reduced pressure (5 mmHg) or on treatment with diisopropylethylamine in CH 2 Cl 2 at 20 °C undergo decarboxylation to give the corresponding a-(N-acylamino)alkyltriphenylphosphonium salts 4, usually in very good yields.
