Recent advances in H-phosphonate chemistry. Part 2. Synthesis of C-phosphonate derivatives.

This chapter provides an overview of recent advances in the development of new methods and protocols for the formation of the P-C bond using H-phosphonate diesters as starting materials. Various chemical and stereochemical aspects of the transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling and organocatalyst-promoted reactions which are relevant to the synthesis of structurally diverse C-phosphonate derivatives are surveyed.
