Abstract
A new route to α-alkyl-α-fluoromethylenebisphosphonates, 2 has been developed starting from commercially available tetraethyl fluoromethylenebisphosphonate (1), and alkyl halides using either caesium carbonate in DMF or sodium dimsyl. De-esterification of 2 provided biologically important α-alkyl-α-fluoromethylenebisphosphonic acid, 3, while alkoxide-induced carbon-phosphorus bond cleavage of 2 gave α-fluorophosphonates, 4, which are useful synthons in organic synthesis.
