Abstract

The front cover picture, designed by Michael Shevchuk, illustrates difluoromethylene phosphonates as bioisosteric, non-hydrolyzable analogs of natural phosphates, reflecting on their prominence as molecular tools to study intricate phosphate biochemistry and beyond. The review comprehensively summarizes the recent synthetic advances in the chemistry of difluoromethylene phosphonates, such as visible light-driven photocatalytic transformations, and highlights compounds that have found significant importance in biochemical research. Details can be found in the Review by Gerd-Volker Röschenthaler, Jianlin Han, and co-workers (M. Shevchuk, Q. Wang, R. Pajkert, J. Xu, H. Mei, G.-V. Röschenthaler, J. Han, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2021, 363, 2912–2968; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.202001464).
