Diphenylphosphoryl azide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) is a colorless or pale yellow liquid which boils at 134-136 °C/0.2 mmHg, and it will be stable at room temperature under shading. It is non-explosive just like the other phosphorazidate. When DPPA is stored at room temperature for a long time, it might be slowly and partially hydrolyzed with moisture in air to produce diphenyl phosphate and toxic explosive hydrazoic acid. In this case, it will be recommended to use after washing DPPA with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate followed by drying.

Uses

Diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA or diphenyl phosphorazidate, (PhO)2P(O)N3) is a very toxic and potentially explosive organic compound. DPPA has been found to be effective for a variety of organic reactions as a versatile synthetic reagent. It is widely used in synthesis of other organic compounds especially as a reagent for the synthesis of peptides by virtue of its reactions with carboxylic acids leading to either the urethane or the amide.

Application

Diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) is a well-known azide reagent used in peptide couplings, Curtius rearrangements, and Mitsunobu inversions—is often encountered in pharmaceutical process development because it enables the most direct route to a desired product. Diphenylphosphonic azide acts as a reagent for the synthesis of peptides and phosphoramidates by reacting with amines. It is also used in the preparation of oligosaccharides linked with carbamate and urea bonds utilizing modified Curtis rearrangement. It is involved in pseudohalogen replacement of the azido group by treatment with nucleophilic reagents, such as water, butanol, ammonia, and various amines. Further, it is used as a hydroazidation catalyst for preparation of organoazides.

Preparation

Diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) is easily prepared in high yield by the reaction of the corresponding chloride with sodium azide in acetone. Combination of sodium azide and 18-crown-6 in the same reaction was reported, and the use of a quaternary ammonium salt as a phase-transfer catalyst in a biphasic phase of water and an organic solvent was also reported to be effective, as shown in Scheme 3.

Reactions

Diphenylphosphoryl azide, originally developed by Yamada in 1972, has shown significant synthetic versatility, being used in isocyanate synthesis, especially in the Curtius rearrangement, stereospecific conversion of alcohol into azide, as a coupling reagent in macrolactamization[4], in allylic amine synthesis, and in aziridination reactions. Diphenylphosphoryl azide, also called DPPA, diphenyl phosphorazidate or phosphoric acid diphenyl ester azide, is a colorless liquid with high boiling point (157 ??C/0.17 mmHg), and can be easily prepared by the reaction between diphenylphosphoryl chloride and sodium azide in acetone in high yield. The Waldvogel group developed a reliable protocol for the large-scale (100 g) synthesis of DPPA, including purification by reduced-pressure distillation (Picture 1). A polymer-supported form of the reagent has also been developed using phenol resin by the Taylor group.

Mechanism of action

Diphenyl phosphoryl azide is used in the aziridination of olefins catalyzed by colbalt-tetraphenylporphyrin. It is also used as the activating agent in the preparation of macrocyclic lactams and of an aldose reductase inhibitor.
