ChemInform Abstract: Manganese(III)‐Mediated Direct Phosphonation of Arylalkenes and Arylalkynes.

Abstract

Manganese(III)-Mediated Direct Phosphonation of Arylalkenes and Arylalkynes.-A Mn(III)-mediated regioselective phosphonation reaction of arylalkenes bearing conjugated groups, such as ketone, amide, nitro, or ester at the α-position is described. The transformation can also be used for arylalkynes (IX) to prepare inden-1-one derivatives (X). -(PAN, X.-Q.; ZOU, J.-P.; ZHANG, G.-L.; ZHANG*, W.; Chem.
