Visible Light Driven Oxidative Coupling of Amines and P(O)-H/P-OR Compounds under Photocatalyst-Free Conditions

A photosensitizer-free, visible light driven Atherton-Todd type coupling of P(O)-H/P-OR compounds and amines was developed. This highly efficient protocol that employ air as the terminal oxidant offers a direct and efficient access to phosphinamides, phosphonamides and phosphoramidates in good to excellent yields.
