New one-pot cross-coupling reaction between grignard reagents and alkoxymethyldiphenylphosphonium iodides in situ-formed from alcohols, chlorodiphenylphosphine and iodomethane
A new one-pot cross-coupling reaction between Grignard reagents and alkoxymethyldiphenylphosphonium iodides, which were in situ-formed from (BuLi)-Bu-n-treated alcohols, chlorodiphenylphosphine and iodomethane, proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding coupling products in good to high yields.
