Abstract
A greatly improved, reliable protocol for the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of dialkyl phosphites with aryl bromides has been developed. The use of an alcoholic solvent was the key to high yields in the synthesis of a broad variety of arylphosphonates, with Pd(OAc)2/PPh3 as the catalyst and a sterically demanding tertiary amine as the base.
Key words
palladium - catalysis - arylphosphonates - cross-coupling - aryl halides

Synthesis of Diethyl p
-Toluenephosphonate (Representative Experimental Procedure).
A 200 mL round bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser and a magnetic stirring bar was charged with Pd(OAc)2 (45 mg, 0.2 mmol) and PPh3 (157 mg, 0.6 mmol). The reaction vessel was evacuated and purged with argon. Subsequently, EtOH (40 mL), p-bromotoluene (1.71 g, 10 mmol), dicyclohexylmethylamine (2.93 g, 15 mmol) and diethyl phosphite (1.55 mL, 12 mmol) were added via syringe. The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 16 h, and the resulting yellow solution was diluted with EtOAc (300 mL) and washed with 1 N HCl, sat. aq NaHCO3 and brine. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, the volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, hexanes-EtOAc, 1:3), yielding 2.06 g (90%) of 3e as a colorless oil. The reactions in Table
[2]
were performed on 1 mmol scale, the products were purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, hexanes-EtOAc) and characterized by means of 1H NMR and 13C NMR, GC-MS and HRMS.
