The Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl phosphates using Ni(PCy3)2Cl2 as an inexpensive, bench-stable catalyst is described. Broad substrate scope and high efficiency are demonstrated by the syntheses of more than 40 biaryls and by constructing complex organic molecules. The poor reactivity of aryl phosphates relative to aryl halides is successfully employed to construct polyarenes by selective cross-coupling
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.
