Abstract

The reaction of diaryliodonium salts with phosphites in the presence of a base under visible-light illumination provides a large variety of aryl phosphonates. The reaction proceeds smoothly, tolerates various functionalities, and was applied for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds.
