Fast and transition metal-free general method for the preparation of chalcogenophosphates

Publication date: Available online 31 January 2018 Source:Journal of Organometallic Chemistry Author(s): Junxing Wang, Xiaolong Wang, Hongjie Li, Jie Yan In the presence of Cs2CO3 and I2, the coupling reaction of dialkyl phosphites with dichalcogenides (S, Se and Te) proceeds efficiently and completes in several minutes under mild conditions, affording the corresponding chalcogenophosphates in moderate to good yields. This fast and transition metal-free procedure provides a general method for the preparation of chalcogenophosphates. Graphical abstract
