P. Zhong et al., A facile regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis of (E)-vinylphosphonates via cross coupling of (E)-vinyl iodides with dialkyl phosphites, SYN COMMUN, 30(2), 2000, pp. 273-278
(E)-Vinylphosphonates were conveniently obtained under mild condition via t
he cross coupling of the corresponding (E)-vinyl iodides, which were obtain
ed from the reaction of vinylzirconocenes with iodine, with dialkyl phosphi
tes.
