Visible‐Light‐Promoted Tandem Oxyphosphorylation Etherification of α‐Diazoesters to Access Phosphoric Esters

Abstract

AbstractAn efficient and novel strategy for the synthesis of phosphoric esters has been developed via visible‐light‐promoted tandem oxyphosphorylation etherification of α‐diazoesters under mild conditions in the absence of any catalysts and additives. The reaction simply utilizes air (O2) as the environmentally friendly and sustainable oxygen source, delivering functionalized phosphoric esters in moderate to excellent yield with operational simplicity and gram‐scale synthesis, as well as good functional‐group tolerance.
