title: Reactivity of vinyl phosphonate containing diazoesters: formation, reactivity, and utility.
abstract: Treatment of diazo vinyl phosphonate with alcohols, amines, and thiols in the presence of Rh(II) results in the chemo- and stereoselective generation of enol ethers, enamines and vinyl sulfides via an X-H insertion process. The utility of the products from these reactions was demonstrated through their conversion into quaternary substituted heterocycles including furans and oxetanes as highlighted by the generation of a bicyclic phosphonate analogue of neodysiherbaine.
