Catalytic and Direct Oxyphosphorylation of Alkenes with Dioxygen and H‐Phosphonates Leading to β‐Ketophosphonates

Abstract

Direct access: The title reaction has been developed under mild reaction conditions (see scheme; DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide). This reaction can be effectively scaled up and offers not only a green and attractive approach to β-ketophosphonates, but also a useful example of direct incorporation of an oxygen atom from dioxygen into organic frameworks.
