The synthesis of P-arylated spirocyclic bisphosphonates is described. The title compounds were generated through a process that combined transesterification with a palladium catalyzed P-arylation. The cross-coupling step could be carried out at room temperature using aryl iodides, while analogous reactions involving aryl bromides required heating. Nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur containing heterocycles were also success-fully incorporated into the framework. Using this approach 20 new arylated compounds were generated bearing a range of electrophiles and functional groups. For the more reactive aryl iodides, the catalyst loading could be decreased to 0.3 % Pd per PÀH group in scaled-up versions of the method. The two-step process does not require the use of chlorophosphorus reagents.
