Two efficient procedures involving tin hydride or thiophenol-mediated intramolecular homolytic substitution at the sulfur atom are reported. They lead to the generation of varied P(V)-centered radicals from the corresponding aryl or alkyne thiophosphorus substrates. The radical formed can be trapped by an olefin via an intermolecular addition, leading to the construction of C–P bonds. Thiophosphination
A novel radical domino process relying on the homolytic cleavage of P-S bonds allows the preparation of phosphorus-containing molecules through addition of P-centered radicals onto olefins. The key step of this reaction is a homolyticsubstitution on a sulfuratom. The scope of the reaction is broad. Diaminophosphonyl radicals whose reactivity was unknown react smoothly with olefins.
