Bronsted Acid/Organic Photoredox Cooperative Catalysis: Easy Access to Tri- and Tetrasubstituted Alkenylphosphorus Compounds from Alcohols and P-H Species

Org Lett. 2018 Jun 1;20(11):3341-3344. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.8b01173. Epub 2018 May 21.

Abstract

A Bronsted acid/organic photoredox cooperative catalytic system toward P-C bond formation from alcohols and P-H species is developed. With the assistance of visible light and TBHP, the reactions proceeded smoothly in an environmentally benign manner to give various alkenylphosphorus compounds in high efficiency.
