New access to H-phosphonates via metal-catalyzed phosphorus-oxygen bond formation.

ABSTRACT: A novel approach to H-phosphonates from hypophosphorous acid using a transfer hydrogenation process was developed. This method is atom-economical, environmentally friendly, catalytic, and efficient, leading easily to H-phosphonate monoesters or ammonium salt in moderate to good yields.
