Abstract

A metal-free intramolecular aminophosphination of sulfonamidoallenes with diarylphosphine oxides and Tf2O was developed. This method offers a general and practical procedure to construct valuable alkenylphosphine-substituted N-heterocycles via the bifunctionalization reaction of allenes in good yields under mild conditions.
