C–P bond formation of cyclophanyl-, and aryl halides <i>via</i> a UV-induced photo Arbuzov reaction: a versatile portal to phosphonate-grafted scaffolds
A new versatile method for the C–P bond formation of (hetero)aryl halides with trimethyl phosphite via a UV-induced photo-Arbuzov reaction, accessing diverse phosphonate-grafted arenes, heteroarenes and co-facially stacked cyclophanes under mild reaction conditions without the need for catalyst, additives, or base is developed. The UV-induced photo-Arbuzov protocol has a wide synthetic scope with large
