title: Facile synthesis of γ-ketophosphonates by an intermolecular Stetter reaction onto vinylphosphonates.
abstract: The atom-economic and practical N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed Stetter reaction for the synthesis of γ-ketophosphonates by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with vinylphosphonates is reported. The NHC derived from N-mesitylimidazolium salt (IMes) was an effective catalyst for this transformation, and the products were formed in moderate to good yields.
