A two step procedure involving a transesterification between a diol and
diethyl phosphite followed by a palladium-catalyzed coupling of the so-obtained
cyclic phosphite with vinyl bromide gave vinyl phosphonates in good yields.

A convenient and efficient copper-catalyzed approach for P-arylation of
organophosphorus compounds containing P-H uses the commercially available and
inexpensive proline and pipecolinic acid as ligands. The method can provide an
entry to arylphosphonates, arylphosphinates and arylphosphine oxides.

When treated with a radical initiator selenophosphates,
selenophosphorodithioates, selenophosphorothioates and
selenophosphorotrithioates
undergo homolytic cleavage of the P-Se bond to generate radicals. Addition onto electron-rich and electron-poor alkenes
in the presence of a hydrogen donor delivers the expected adducts in good yields.
