Iron-catalyzed Alkoxyl Radical-Mediated C-C Bond Cleavage/phosphorothiolation: a New Approach to Functionalized S-alkyl Phosphorothioates.

An efficient iron-catalyzed alkoxyl radical-mediated C-C bond cleavage/phosphorothiolation cascade is presented. This protocol features mild and redox neutral conditions, wide substrate scope and easy scalability, allowing straightforward access to functionalized S-alkyl organophosphorus compounds in moderate to good yields.
