X. Zhang et al., The preparation of (EtO)(2)P(O)CFHZnBr and (EtO)(2)P(O)CFHCu and their utility in the preparation of functionalized alpha-fluorophosphonates, TETRAHEDR L, 40(14), 1999, pp. 2681-2684
The organometallic reagent, (EtO)(2)P(O)CFHZnBr, was generated in situ in e
xcellent yields via the reaction of (EtO)(2)P(O)CFHBr with zinc metal. Meta
thesis with Cu(I)Br gate (EtO)(2)P(O)CFHCu. The reagents exhibit excellent
reactivity with substrates, such as allyl halides, alkynyl halides, vinyl h
alides, aryl halides and acyl or phosphoryl halides, and provide a useful o
ne flask route to functionalized alpha-fluorophosphonates. (C) 1999 Elsevie
