A. Allen et al., Synthesis of functional bisphosphonates via new palladium-catalyzed bis-hydrophosphorylation reactions, TETRAHEDR L, 41(2), 2000, pp. 151-154
A series of functional bisphosphonates have been synthesized in good isolat
ed yields via new palladium-catalyzed bis-hydrophosphorylation reactions of
terminal alkynes and dialkyl phosphites. The scope and mechanism for such
a bis-hydrophosphorylation process are also discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Sc
