A novel and efficient electrophilic fluorination of secondary phosphine oxides with Selectfluor has been achieved. This transformation provides direct access to phosphoric fluorides in up to 92% yield under mild conditions. In addition, P-O bond construction via a one-pot coupling process of secondary phosphine oxides with water or alcohols in the presence of Selectfluor leads to the formation of phosphinic acids or phosphinates in up to 96% yield.
The novel P-arylation of dialkyl phosphites and secondary phosphine oxides with arynes has been achieved. The reactions produce dialkyl arylphosphonates in 71-99% yield and tertiary phosphine oxides in 68-92% yield under mild conditions.
α-Sulfenylation of carbonyl compounds has been achieved via Cs2CO3-promoted aerobic cross-dehydrogenative coupling of thiophenols with active methylene compounds.
An efficient P-arylation of secondary phosphine oxides has been achieved through the ligand-free copper-catalyzed addition of H-P(O) bonds to in situ generated arynes at room temperature. This transformation provides a straightforward route to the formation of the aryl-P bond with wide functional group compatibility, which produces arylphosphine oxides in up to 99% yield.
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.
