Abstract
The Pd-catalyzed Michaelis–Arbuzov rearrangement of triaryl phosphites to produce the corresponding arylphosphonates in good to excellent yields is disclosed. In comparison to the traditional methods, this new method is highly atom efficient and is general, as it can be readily extended to aryl phosphonites and phosphinites. A gram-scale reaction of (PhO)3P to PhP(O)(OPh)2 with low loading of the catalyst was also demonstrated to show its potentially practical usefulness. A plausible mechanism is proposed.
