Nickel-Catalyzed Decarbonylation of Aromatic Carboxylic Acids with P(O)-H(2) Compounds to Form C–P Bonds

A novel strategy for C–P bond formation has been developed. The reaction employed aromatic carboxylic acids as the source of aromatic groups to couple with three types of P(O)-H₍₂₎ compounds without the need to isolate intermediates, thereby achieving a one-pot construction of carbon–phosphorus bonds. The protocol demonstrated excellent applicability and functional group tolerance, enabling the production of Ar–P(O)R₂ and Ar₂–PPh with moderate to excellent yields.
