Copper-promoted oxidative-fluorination of arylphosphine under mild conditions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Sep 25;50(74):10879-82. doi: 10.1039/c4cc04830j. Epub 2014 Aug 4.

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of phosphoric fluoride via oxidative coupling between hydrophosphine oxide and NaF is reported. DDQ serves as the oxidizing reagent as well as the hydrogen acceptor. The process involves a Cu(II) catalysis and exhibits great functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions.
