- Trialkylphosphite displaces alkyl halide to form phosphonate ester- Discovered by Michaelis in 1898, but the scope and limitations explored by Arbuzov- Ethyl halide produced considered a reactive byproduct; can undergo undesired side reactions

Michaelis-Arbuzov Reaction
Limitations include:- high temperatures may not be tolerated by sensitive substrates- phosphonate esters are usually purified by fractional distillation (multiple products)- phosphite reagent is often used as the solvent

Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) Reaction
Developed to improve the Wittig olefination by:- allows further functionalization of α-carbon to phosphonate- water soluble phosphate anions are easier to remove than phosphine oxides
HWE produces E-alkene as major isomer
Still-Gennari modification produces Z-alkene as major-R = CH2CF3- R’’/RL lies anti to phosphonate in transition state

Therapeutics and Agrochemicals
Small molecules with C-P bonds find applications in both pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries
Fosfomycin:- activity against methicillin- and vancomcin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus- deactivates essential enzyme (MurA) which is essential in the first step of cell wall biosynthesis
Dehydrophos:- isolated by Eli Lilly; shown to have broad antibiotic activity- structure confirmed by synthesis- mode of action of enamine not fully understood- hydrolysis of C-terminus of peptide may produce methyl acetophosphonate, a pyruvate mimic
Phosphinothricin:- widely used herbicide

Wolff-Kishner Reduction
Standard conditions for Wolff-Kishner reduction are harshCram modification proceeds at rt; yields are variable on small scale
Recent example of Lewis acid catalyzed hydrazone formation proceeds in good yield

Title Paper: Preparation of Acyl Phosphates
- Phosphine addition to acyl halide occurs under mild conditions over the traditional alkyl halide displacement- Hydrazones of acyl phosphonates can be isolated
- pH neutral and basic pH leads to decomposition to hydrazide and phosphite- “Moderately acidic” conditions worked the best, where low pH promoted no reaction

Conclusions
Uses two classical reactions to formulate a new methodology
Mild conditions offer attractive method to prepare alkyl phosphonates over classical methods
Methodology should be applied to sensitive molecules to demonstrate synthetic utility
