Air-induced double addition of P(O)–H bonds to alkynes: a clean and practical method for the preparation of 1,2-bisphosphorylethanes†
Abstract
An air-induced double addition of diphenyl phosphine oxide to various alkynes is reported. This reaction can proceed efficiently under metal- and solvent-free conditions, and is a clean and practically useful method for the preparation of the valuable 1,2-bisphosphorylethanes.
