Metal-free electrophilic phosphination of electron-rich arenes, arenols and aromatic thiols with diarylphosphine oxides†
Abstract
A new protocol for achieving the phosphination of arenes, arenols and thiols has been disclosed. This chemistry, in which diaryl(((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)oxy)phosphines as a kind of electrophilic phosphination reagents are in situ generated from diarylphosphine oxides, provides an efficient and mild approach for the synthesis of aromatic organophosphorus compounds.
