Functionalized phospholanes and phosphorinanes from 1,4- and 1,5-diketones

Phosphorylation reactions of 1,4-diketones, 1,5-diketones, and methylene-1,5-diketones with bidentate phosphorus nucleophiles (phosphines and phosphonous acid derivatives) represent convenient methods of synthesis of saturated functionalized phospholanes and phosphorinanes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
