GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
Synthesis of acylated phosphonocyclopropyl sulfoxide was performed in order to confirm some mechanistic aspects of 1,2 phosphoryl group migration. Reduction using phenylsilane in the KOH-catalyzed system was applied successfully for the conversion of carboalkoxy group to the corresponding alcohol. However, when both carboalkoxy and sulfinyl substituents were present at the same carbon atom, desulfinylation product was observed.
