Abstract

The electrophilic fluorination of a wide variety of benzylic phosphonates with N- fluorobenzenesulfonimide has been examined. The fluorination reaction proceeds well in the presence of an array of functional groups such as nitro, bromo, ketone, ester, phenyl and ether groups. Phenyl and biphenyl derivatives containing two α, α- difluoromethylenephosphonate groups can also be prepared. This procedure is ...
