Addition of the radical generated from the sodium salt of hypophosphorous acid to difluoroalkenes results in the formation of α,α‐difluoro‐H‐phosphinates. These intermediates can be transformed into different phosphorus‐centered isosteres, such as difluorophosphonates, difluorophosphonothioates, and difluorophosphinates (see scheme).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
