A number of procedures have been developed for the synthesis of vinyl silane phosphates (VSP's), a new type of functional group bearing trialkylsilyl and diaryl (or dialkyl) phosphate groups on adjacent sp2 carbons. a-Silyl ketone enolates, accessible in a variety of ways, react with phosphorochloridates to give VSP's. Alternatively, in select cases it is possible to trap a P-lithiated vinyl phosphate with a trialkylsilyl chloride to obtain the VSP. Because ...
