Substituent-Controlled Chemoselective Cleavage of C═C or Csp2–C(CO) Bond in α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds with H-Phosphonates Leading to β-Ketophosphonates
An unprecedented substituent-controlled chemoselective cleavage of C═C double bond or C(sp2)–C(CO) bond along with aerobic phosphorylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with H-phosphonates through a radical process has been disclosed. The current strategy provides an access to β-ketophosphonates under mild conditions with a wide substrate scope.
