The visible-light-induced synthesis of 5-phosphoryl-functionalized pyrroles has been established by eosin Y catalysis, and different electron-donating or electron-withdrawing group substituted secondary Hphosphine oxides and phenacylmalononitriles showed good reactivity toward the reaction, affording the cascade phosphinoylation/cyclization products in 82-98% yields via PÀ C/CÀ N annulation. Step-by-step control experiments and 31 P NMR tracking experiments were further performed to gain the insights of the plausible reaction mechanism and kinetic reaction process. This reaction may have implications for the construction of C(sp 2 )À P bonds in organophosphorus chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
