The Chan-Evans-Lam N-arylation of phosphonic/phosphinic amides

Abstract A stoichiometric copper(II)-mediated arylation protocol of phosphinamides and phosphonamides was herein demonstrated. Various unreported N -aryl phosphinamides and phosphonamides were successfully prepared through Chan-Evans-Lam reaction with high efficiency (up to 88% yields) and good functional groups tolerance (30 examples) in the absence of any ligands or co-catalysts.
