α-Phosphonovinyl Arylsulfonates: An Attractive Partner for the Synthesis of α-Substituted Vinylphosphonates through Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki Reactions
A new and attractive coupling partner for the synthesis of α‐substituted vinylphosphonates through Suzuki reactions has been developed. The developed O‐centered electrophiles couple with various organoboron reagents to give α‐substituted vinylphosphonates in moderate to excellent yields. This protocol features broad substrate scope, mild conditions, and high efficiency.
It has been demonstrated for the first time that alpha-phosphonovinyl tosylates could efficiently couple with a range of arylboronic acids to access alpha-arylethenylphosphonates. The unprecedented procedure exhibits excellent functional group tolerance, giving the terminal vinylphosphonates in good to excellent isolated yields (60-99%) under mild reaction conditions.
