palladium-catalyzed synthesis of arylphosphonates from arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates and triethylphosphite or diethylphosphite is presented. The reaction tolerates useful substituents including bromo, chloro, nitro, ether, cyano, keto, and ester groups, can be performed as a one-pot process from anilines omitting the isolation of arenediazonium salts, and can be extended to the preparation of arylphosphine
