Tunable vicinal, geminal diphosphorylation and C-N bond phosphorylation of enaminones toward divergent phosphorylated ketone derivatives.

This paper reports the trifunctionalization reactions of tertiary enaminones in the fashion of selective gem- and vicinal diphosphorylation, leading to the tunable synthesis of α,α- and α,β-diphosphoryl ketones. In addition, the C-N bond phosphorylation with improved substrate tolerance has been achieved.
