Synthesis of Aryl-Thiophosphonates via A [1,2] or [1,3] Phospho-Fries Rearrangement

Abstract

The synthesis of O,O-diethyl arylthiophosphonates is achieved following a base-induced [1,2] or [1,3] phospho-Fries rearrangement that makes use of O,O-diethyl O-aryl thiophosphates as substrates. The coordination properties of O,O-diethyl arylthiophosphonates are also discussed.
