Palladium-Catalyzed Cleavage of α-Allenylic Aryl Ether toward Pyrazolemethylene-Substituted Phosphinyl Allenes and Their Transformations via Alkenyl C-P(O) Cleavage

A palladium-catalyzed two-component coupling of allenylphosphine oxides with conjugated N-tosylhydrazones is revealed. For the first time, the cleavage of α-allenylic aryl ether toward pyrazolemethylene-substituted phosphinyl allenes enabled facile synthesis of combined motifs with pyrazole and allene. Moreover, the obtained adducts could be easily transformed to potential bioactive multifunctionalized phosphinates via a novel alkenyl C-P(O) cleavage.
