title: A facile route to vinyl- and arylphosphonates by vinyl and aryl radical trapping with (MeO)3P.
abstract: The generation of vinyl or aryl radicals under classical, thermal AIBN/n-Bu(3)SnH conditions at 80 degrees C in the presence of an excess of (MeO)(3)P gives rise to the corresponding vinyl- or arylphosphonates in good yields. This approach complements the photochemical reactions of the same systems previously used. Reactions with the individual stereoisomers of MeCH=CHMeBr (thermal AIBN/n-Bu(3)SnH conditions) afford a radical-equilibrated 96/4 E/Z ratio of vinylphosphonates. Substitution of (TMS)(3)SiH for n-Bu(3)SnH yields an approximately 1/1 ratio of separable E and Z vinylphosphonate diastereomers.
