Abstract
(Halodiazomethyl)phosphonates 2A-C have been generated by a one-pot procedure via a clean, efficient, and rapid deprotonation/electrophilic halogenation sequence from diethyl diazomethylphosphonate 1 (EDP). Subsequent intermolecular Rh(II)-catalyzed cyclopropanation afforded the corresponding halocyclopropylphosphonates 3-10 in moderate to high yields and high diastereomeric ratios. Catalyst loadings down to 0.1 mol % as well as clean and selective product formation were achieved.
