Insertion of Arynes into Arylphosphoryl Amide Bonds: One-Step Simultaneous Construction of C–N and C–P Bonds ShenChaoren YangGuoqiang ZhangWanbin 2013 The insertion of arynes into arylphosphoryl amide bonds to synchronously construct C–P and C–N bonds is described. Arynes generated in situ from <i>o</i>-triflate arylsilanes under fluoride-promoted conditions insert into relatively inert P–N bonds, producing <i>o</i>-amine-substituted arylphosphine oxides. This process provides a simple pathway for the preparation of precursors for a number of bidentate aminophosphine ligands.
