Abstract

The first examples of the hydrophosphination of alkyl vinyl sulfides and selenides are described. The reaction of secondary phosphines (R1)2PH 1-3 with vinyl chalcogenides CH2=CHXR2 4-9 proceeds readily under radical initiation to give in anti-Markovnikov mode regiospecifically the corresponding organylchalcogenophosphines (R1)2PCH2CH2XR2 10a-h in high yields.
