Y. Inubushi et al., THE REACTION OF ELECTROPHILIC TERMINAL PHOSPHINIDENE COMPLEXES WITH ENOLIZABLE KETONES - C-H VS O-H VS C-C INSERTION OF PHOSPHORUS, Chemical communications, (16), 1996, pp. 1903-1904
Transient [PhP-->W(CO)(5)], as generated from the appropriate 7-phosph
anorbornadiene precursor, reacts at 120 degrees C with various enoliza
ble ketones or beta-diketones to give the products resulting from the
insertion of phosphorus into either the alpha-CH, the enol OH, or the
acyl-CH2 bonds.
