BiCl3-Mediated direct functionalization of unsaturated C-C bonds with an electrophilic SCF2PO(OEt)2 reagent

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Jul 23;55(60):8784-8787. doi: 10.1039/c9cc01851d.

Abstract

A transition metal-free approach was developed for the direct difunctionalization of disubstituted alkynes and terminal alkenes with concomitant formation of C-SCF2PO(OEt)2 and C-Cl bonds. The BiCl3-mediated reaction offered access to high value-added functionalized scaffolds in a single operation under mild conditions. Extension to SCF2PO(OEt)2-containing alkynes was also studied.
