LiI/TBHP Mediated Oxidative Cross-Coupling of P(O)-H Compounds with Phenols and Various Nucleophiles: Direct Access to the Synthesis of Organophosphates
Direct phosphorylation of P(O)–H compounds with various nucleophiles such as phenols, alcohols, amines and enols is described using oxidative cross‐coupling strategy. The phosphorylation of hydroxylated naphthyls and heteroarenes has been achieved. Main features of this transformation are short reaction time, functional group tolerance, and broad substrate scope.
