Participants

Reaction Steps

BBr3 (3.16 mL, 1 M solution in DCM) was added to a solution of ethyl (3-methoxyphenyl)methylphosphinate (0.169 g, 0.789 mmol) in DCM at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at rt for 15 h, then partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to give the title compound. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD): δ 7.35-7.40 (m, 1H), 7.19-7.26 (m, 2H), 7.05 (dd, 1H, J=8.3, 2.6 Hz), 3.85-4.05 (m, 2H), 1.69 (d, 3H, J=14.6 Hz), 1.29 (t, 3H, J=7.1 Hz).
