Abstract

An effective catalytic method for α-phosphoryloxylation of ketones is reported. When ketones were reacted with phosphates in the presence of iodobenzene as the recyclable catalyst and m-chloroperbenzoic acid as the terminal oxidant in acetonitrile at room temperature, the α-phosphoryloxylation of ketones took place easily and the corresponding keto phosphates were obtained in moderate to good yields.
