General description

Propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P) is a reactive n-propyl phosphonic acid cyclic anhydride.[1] It is a mild and low toxic coupling agent used in peptide synthesis.[2] T3P also acts as a promoter and water scavenger in the Friedländer annulation reaction.[3] It participates in the conversion of carboxylic acids and amides into nitriles, formation of Weinreb amides, ester synthesis, dehydrations, oxidation of alcohols, isonitrile synthesis, synthesis of alkenes from alcohols and C-C coupling reactions.[1] T3P delivers outstanding advantages over traditional reagents, such as broad functional group tolerance, low epimerization, and water-soluble by-products and hence gives high purity and yield of the product.[4][1]

Application

Propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P) can be used:
  • As an acid-amine coupling reagent for the synthesis of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamides which are potent activators of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2).[5]
  • In the synthesis of substituted benzofurans as potent DNA gyraseB inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[6]
  • As a catalyst in the synthesis of benzothiazoles, benzoxazoles, and benzimidazoles under microwave irradiation.[7]
  • As a catalyst in the conversion of ketoximes to amides and aldoximes to nitriles via Beckmann rearrangement.[8]
  • As a reagent in the one-pot conversion of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes to nitriles.[9]
Propylphosphonic anhydride may be used in the following studies:
  • As coupling agent for the synthesis of bispyridine-based ligands, which are used as bridging linkers in multinuclear platinum anticancer drugs.[10]
  • Microwave-assissted Fischer indolization of arylhydrazines.[11]
  • As acid activating agent for the direct synthesis of acid azides from carboxylic acids.[12]
  • One-pot synthesis of coumarins.[2]
  • Microwave-mediated synthesis of carbocyclic and heterocyclic fused quinolones.[3]
  • One-pot synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles from carboxylic acids.[1]
  • Activation of the carboxyl group for hydroxyamidation and peptide coupling and in the one-pot conversion of carboxylic acids into hydroxamic acids.[13][14]
