Recent Developments in the [1,2]-Phospha-Brook Rearrangement Reaction
1State Key Laboratory of NBC Protection for Civilian, Beijing 102205, China.
Abstract:
The [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement serves as a powerful synthetic strategy that enables efficient carbonyl umpolung through phosphoryl group migration, providing direct access to α-hydroxyphosphoryl compounds-a privileged class of synthons with broad applications in organophosphorus chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent progress in synthetic methodologies, possible mechanisms, and asymmetric transformations, highlighting key breakthroughs and future directions in this rapidly evolving field.

The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...
