Abstract

A facile hydrophosphonylation of alkenes by phosphites promoted by potassium carbonate was developed. The reaction features include easy handling, environmental friendliness, and avoidance of the use of strong bases. A variety of alkenes are tolerated in this reaction, with moderate to excellent yields.
