A new synthetic pathway for the preparation of benzoate-functionalized phosphanes for microwave-mediated traceless Staudinger ligations is described. Novel phosphane derivatives based on 4-substituted iodophenyl benzoates were prepared via palladium(II)-catalyzed P-C cross-coupling reaction strategy in high yields. The application of microwave conditions for the ligation reactions reduced the reaction
for the preparation of novel benzoate and nicotinate containing phosphanes is presented. This reaction path has a broad substrate scope. Thus, various functionalized phosphanes were obtained in high yields using an esterification procedure under Steglich conditions. A facile blocking of the phosphorus atom with BH3 was carried out. BH3 as easily insertable and removable protecting group enables a further
