Abstract

Phosphorohydrazidates have been shown to work as radical precursors by iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation to generate corresponding phosphonyl radicals. Generated radicals cause intermolecular addition to various alkenes in the presence of molecular oxygen to give β- hydroxyphosphonate compounds in good yield.
