β-Elimination of a Phosphonate Group from an Alkoxy Radical: An Intramolecular Acylation Approach Using an Acylphosphonate as a Carbonyl Group Acceptor

Abstract

On the basis of facile beta-elimination of a phosphonate group from an alkoxy radical, intramolecular acylation reaction has been developed, in which an acylphosphonate is used as an excellent carbonyl group radical acceptor.
