“…[20] However, phosphinylation of C sp3 in hetarylalkyl halides was not described in these works, obviously due to numerous side processes (easy hydrolysis, oxidation, intermolecular self-alkylation of the starting reagents, halogenophilic reactions S N 2Hal, S RN 1, etc.). [21] There are only sporadic reports in literature on phosphinylation of hetarylmethyl halides, which occurs in the presence of such hydrolytically unstable and flammable reagents as LDA, [22] BuLi, [22b] NaH, [22a,23] LiHMDS (Scheme 1), and requires especially dry conditions and specific equipment (Schlenk glassware).…”
