title: Metal catalyst-free substitution of allylic and propargylic phosphates with diarylmethyl anions.
abstract: Substitution of secondary allylic phosphates with the anions derived from Ar2CH2 with BuLi or LDA proceeded regioselectively and stereoselectively without a metal catalyst, affording inversion products in good yield. Similarly, propargylic phosphates gave propargylic products selectively.
