Rhodium(I)-catalysed conjugate phosphination of cyclic α,β- unsaturated ketones with silylphosphines as masked phosphinides

Nucleophile-activation of the phosphorus(iii)-silicon linkage in silylphosphines generates a nucleophilic phosphorus(iii) equivalent thereby allowing for a rhodium-catalysed conjugate phosphination of β-substituted α,β-unsaturated acceptors. The Royal Soc
