Ligand-Free Palladium Catalyzed Phosphorylation of Aryl Iodides.

A reusable ligand-free palladium catalyzed phosphorylation of aryl iodides using PdCl2/tetrabutylammonium bromide is described. Functionalized triarylphosphines were obtained in good to excellent yields in the absence of external reductants and supporting ligands.
