1977 93Allenes. Part 362 Synthesis of 2,4,5-Trienamides as Potential Insecti-cides, by a Wittig ReactionBy Phyllis b. Landor, Stephen R. Landor,"? and Olwa Odyek, Department of Chemistry, Makerere University,Kampala, UgandaN-Substituted 2,4,5-trienamides have been synthesised by the reactions of a 4,4-dialkylbuta-2,3-dienal with diethylN-alkyl- and NN-dialkylcarbamoylmethylphosphonates, and characterised by i.r., u.v., and n.m.r. spectra. Anattempted Wittig reaction of hepta-2.3-dienal and diethyl N-isobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphonate resulted inmainly nucleophilic attack a t C-3 of the allenic aldehyde.MANY natural products of plant origin contain an iso-butylamide group conjugated with a trans double bond(-CHkH*CO*NHBui), for instance affinin and theisobutylamides from Chrysanthemum frutescens L.3Most of these amides possess considerable insecticidalactivity, and in some cases this is similar to that of thepyrethrins towards Musca domestica.We have, there-fore, synthesised a number of conjugated N-substitutedamides containing an allenic functional group in orderto have these tested for insecticidal activity.Previously allenic amides4 were prepared in ourlaboratory from allenic nitriles with hydrogen peroxide,and allenic N-t-butylamides were prepared by a Ritterreaction. This paper reports the synthesis of conjugatedN-substituted 2,4,5-trienamides from an a-allenic alcohol(I),5 as outlined in Scheme 1.MnO2MeEtC=C=CH.CHiOH hexanew MeE t C=C=CH.CHO( 1 ) I (11)+(III) INaH (EtO+PCICH-,CO.NR'R~ ,lo.( EtO),P(0).CHiC0.NR'R2(111 1t MeEtC=C= CH.CH= CH.CO.NR'R'(IY 12 - R'= H, Et.or CHiCH:CH2 R =Bu', Et,or CHiCH:CH,SCHEME 1The dlenic alcohol (I) was oxidised with activemanganese dioxide 1 in hexane and the reaction wasmonitored by i.r. spectroscopy to ascertain conditionsfor maximum yield of allenic aldehyde; the OHabsorption decreased while a new band (conjugatedGO) at 1 690 2m-l increased. When no further changeoccurred the product was worked up and the crudealdehyde used in the next stage. The crude productconsisted of a ca. 50 : 50 mixture of aldehyde (11) andalcohol (I), as shown by the integration of the allenicproton n.m.r. signals at T 4.1 and 4.71, respectively,and U.V. absorption at lmX. 224 nm (E 5 900) [ c j .Me,C:CH*CHO, A,,, 228 nm (E 14 2OO)J.The yield oft Present address : Department of Chemistry, University ofLagos, Lagos, Nigeria.3 Kindly donated by Hoff man-La-Roche, Basle, Switzerland.Part 35, S.

Possibly an equilibrium involvingcomplexing of alcohol and aldehyde with hydridetransfer prevents further oxidation of the allenic alcohollsee (A)]. A series of N-substituted carbamoylmethyl-phosphonates (111) were prepared for use as modifiedc o- -CH-0( A )'0-Wittig reagents in 65-73% yield from triethyl phosphiteand the appropriate N-alkyl- or NN-dialkyl-chloro-acetamide.The n.m.r. spectra showed a distinctivecoupling constant, J 22 Hz, for -P(O)CH,-. The anionof the appropriate N-subs titu ted carbamoylmethyl-phosphonate in dimethoxyethane was treated with4-methylhexa-2,3-dienal to give a one-step Wittigsynthesis of the trienamides (IV). Column chromato-graphy on alumina gave the pure trans-amides, vwx.1940 (C:C:C), 1650-1 640 (amide C:O), 1610 and 980(trans-CX), and 1 510 cm-l (NH def.). High intensityU.V. absorption at A,, 257-264 nm was comparable tothat for alka-2,4-dienarnides.' The n.m.r. spectraresembled those of the trans-2,4,5-trienoates with J2,315 and J3,4 10 H z .~N-Isobutyl-6-methylocta-trans-2,4,5-trienamide wasalso prepared, in lower yield but spectroscopicallyidentical with the previous sample, by using N-isobutyl-carbamoylmethyl( tripheny1)phosphonium chloride 3 asthe Wittig reagent.The known naturally occurring isobutylamides arestraight-chain compounds, and in an attempt to preparea similar allenic isomer we used hepta-2,3-dien-l-ol (VI)as starting material (Scheme 2). The allenic alcohol(VI) was prepared by a modification of our publishedroute,5 via the acetylenic alcohol (V), obtained from theaction of propyl-lithium followed by formaldehyde on3-tetrahydropyran-2-yloxyhex-l-yne. This reaction wasfaster and cleaner than the Grignard method; reductionF. Bohlmann and R. Miethe, Chem.B e y . , 1967, 100, 3861.P. M. Greaves, P. D. Landor, S. R. Landor, and 0. Odyek,J . S.
