title: Selective synthesis of o-acylbenzylphosphonates by insertion reactions of arynes into beta-ketophosphonates.
abstract: A mild method for selective synthesis of o-acylbenzylphosphonates has been developed by the reactions of arynes with beta-ketophosphonates. In the presence of CsF and THF, the carbon-carbon sigma-bonds of 2-oxopropylphosphonates were selectively cleaved and added to arynes providing the corresponding 2-acylbenzylphosphonates in moderate to good yields.
