Aryltrimethylammonium Tetrafluoroborates in Nickel-Catalyzed C-P Bond-Forming Reactions

The first nickel-catalyzed phosphorylation of aryltrimethylammonium tetrafluoroborates with the formation of C-P bond instead of C-N has been developed. Starting from easily available and inexpensive aromatic amines, a variety of important arylphosphonates have been synthesized in moderate to excellent yields.
