Abstract
A facile, one-pot vinylation of secondary phosphine chalcogenides with alkyl(or aryl) vinyl sulfoxides has been elaborated. The vinylation comprises the nucleophilic addition of secondary phosphine chalcogenides to the vinyl sulfoxides (∼50 mol% KOH, dioxane, 25–40°C, 1 h) followed by the elimination of sulfenic acids from the adducts (additional equivalent of KOH, 60–70°C, 1.5–2.0 h), the yields of target tertiary vinyl phosphine chalcogenides reaching 92%.
