Abstract
An
unexpected hydroxyphosphinylation of 3-cyclopropylideneprop-2-en-1-ones
with phosphines has been observed. This method provides a unique regio-
and stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized 1-dialkylphinyl-3-oxo-(1<i>Z</i>)-alkenyl cyclopropanols with important potentials. The
reaction displays an unusual mechanistic featurea highly selective
cleavage of C–P σ bonds in phosphines
