A Sustainable and Efficient Synthesis of Benzyl Phosphonates Using PEG/KI Catalytic System

An efficient and expedient protocol for the synthesis of benzyl phosphonates using KI/K(2)CO(3) as a catalytic system and PEG-400 as benign solvent has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature achieving excellent selectivity and yield of the corresponding products. The comb...

Sumario:An efficient and expedient protocol for the synthesis of benzyl phosphonates using KI/K(2)CO(3) as a catalytic system and PEG-400 as benign solvent has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature achieving excellent selectivity and yield of the corresponding products. The combination of PEG-400, KI, and K(2)CO(3) in this reaction avoids the need of volatile/toxic organic solvents and reactive alkali metals or metal nanoparticles/hydrides. We believe that this benign combination (PEG-400 and KI) could be used for other related organic transformations.
