Mn(iii)-mediated phosphonation–azidation of alkenes: a facile synthesis of β-azidophosphonates†
Abstract
A new and general method for the synthesis of β-azidophosphonates has been achieved through Mn(OAc)3-mediated radical oxidative phosphonation–azidation of alkenes. The starting materials of P(O)–H compounds, alkenes, and azidotrimethylsilane are stable and cheap. This method can be easily adapted for large-scale preparation.
