Allylation and methylation were carried out with allyl
bromide and methyl iodide, respectively. However, in case
of the attempted acylation of R-phosphonyl vinylcopper-
(I) intermediates with acetyl chloride and benzoyl chlo-
ride, complications occurred because of the isomerization
of unstable vinylic phosphonates containing a strong
electron-withdrawing R-acyl group and 2,2-dialkyl groups.
Therefore, we could not prepare the corresponding R-acyl
vinylic phosphonates successfully.
In conclusion, the reaction of organocopper(I) reagents
with 1-alkynylphosphonates affords a rapid entry into a
variety of vinylic phosphonates with high regio- and
stereoselectivity and with high yields in a one-pot process.
1-Alkynyl phosphonates (1) are easily converted into
1-phosphonyl-2,2-dialkyl vinylcopper(I) intermediates (2)
by treatment with organocopper(I) reagents. The adducts
(2) react with a variety of electrophiles to give the vinyl
phosphonate derivatives (3) RR′CdC(E)PO3Et2 (E ) H,
I, Me, allyl, SePh, TePh, SiMe3). The stereochemistry of
the carbocupration of 1-alkynyl phosphonates with or-
ganocopper(I) reagents are observed as only syn-addition
(R ) H, n-Bu, n-Hex, CH2OBn, Ph) and unexpected anti-
addition in the case of R ) t-Bu.

Gen er a l. All reactions were conducted under an atmosphere
of nitrogen in oven-dried glassware with magnetic stirring. THF
1
was distilled from Na/benzophenone ketyl. H-, 13C-, and NOE-
NMR spectra were recorded at 300 MHz in CDCl3, using TMS
or residual CHCl3 as internal references.
