T. Yokomatsu et al., Synthesis of allenic (alpha,alpha-difluoromethylene)phosphonates from propargylic tosylates and acetates, SYNLETT, (2), 2001, pp. 287-289
Copper (I) bromide-promoted reactions of bromo[(diethoxyphosphoryl)difluoro
methyl]zinc reagent 2 with propargylic tosylates and acetates were examined
. The reaction proceeded in an S(N)2' manner to give allenic (alpha,alpha -
difluoromethylene)phosphonates in good to excellent yield.
