title: Hydroxyphosphinylation reaction of 3-cyclopropylideneprop-2-en-1-ones via C-P σ-bond cleavage.
abstract: An unexpected hydroxyphosphinylation of 3-cyclopropylideneprop-2-en-1-ones with phosphines has been observed. This method provides a unique regio- and stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized 1-dialkylphinyl-3-oxo-(1Z)-alkenyl cyclopropanols with important potentials. The reaction displays an unusual mechanistic feature--a highly selective cleavage of C-P σ bonds in phosphines.
