“…Unfortunately, the efficient synthesis of six-membered benzofuzed phosphacycles, , especially the nitrogen-containing phosphacycles, still remains a significant synthetic challenge. The classic reaction of organometallic reagents with P–X to afford six-membered phosphacycles was extremely scarce (Scheme b) because the incorporation of two aromatic halides in one molecule sometimes was synthetically difficult. Very recently, a bislithiation strategy of aryl bromide followed by a trap with PhPCl 2 was reported by Samsung Display Co.; however, both aromatic rings should be exactly the same, which prevents the efficient nitrogen-containing six-membered phosphacycle derivative synthesis .…”
