A one-pot strategy to synthesize β-ketophosphonates: silver/copper catalyzed direct oxyphosphorylation of alkynes with H-phosphonates and oxygen in the air†
Abstract
A highly efficient one-pot strategy has been developed for the synthesis of β-ketophosphonates directly from alkynes and dialkyl H-phosphonates in the presence of widely available AgNO3/CuSO4 and K2S2O8 at room temperature under open-air conditions.
