Radical phosphinylation of α,α-diaryl allylic alcohols with concomitant 1,2-aryl migration†
Abstract
A novel radical phosphinylation of α,α-diaryl allylic alcohols with arylphosphine oxides was described for the direct preparation of α-aryl-β-phosphinylated carbonyl ketones in medium to good yields via 1,2-aryl migration. In this reaction, formation of new C(Ar)–C(sp3) and C(sp3)–P bonds was observed.
