Autoxidative C(<i>sp</i>²)–P Formation: Direct Phosphorylation of Heteroarenes under Oxygen, Metal-Free, and Solvent-Free Conditions

Abstract

We reveal here a direct autoxidative phosphorylation of heteroarenes induced by oxygen under metal-free and solvent-free conditions. This new methodology provides an economical, operationally simple, and environmentally friendly approach toward (Het)C(sp(2))-P formation with medium to excellent yields. Heteroarenes including thiazole and quinoxaline derivatives are applicable under standard conditions, which is testified via a radical mechanism.
