title: Palladium(II)-catalyzed ortho-olefination of benzylic phosphonic monoesters.
abstract: The new monophosphonic acid directing group is successfully utilized in the Pd(II)-catalyzed ortho-olefination of benzylic phosphonic monoesters and offers further development of other phosphoryl-related directing groups in the transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activations.
