efficient N,N′-carbonyl diimidazole-catalyzed protocol for the direct esterification of P(O)-OH compounds using phenols as efficient esterification reagents is illustrated. It is a simple way to synthesis a broad spectrum of functionalized O-aryl phosphinates, phosphonates, and phosphates from basic startingmaterials with moderate to excellent yields.
-promoted protocol for the selective and controllable esterification of P(O)OH compounds using O-nucleophiles (alcohols and phenols) as efficient esterification reagents is described. This method features a high efficiency and good functional-group tolerance, meaning a simple way to synthesize a broad spectrum of phosphinic and phosphoric acid esters from basic starting materials with moderate to excellent
