Abstract
A green protocol for the synthesis of α-hydroxyphosphonates by condensation of carbonyl compounds on dialkylphosphites, under solvent free conditions, has been described using hydroxyapatite (HAP) catalysts. This condensation proceeds with excellent yields and 100% atom economy. The best results were obtained using Na-modified-hydroxyapatite (Na-HAP) catalyst. Furthermore, being heterogeneous in nature, these catalysts are easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused several times without any loss of activity, especially for Na-HAP, after being washed by acetone and calcined at 700°C.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
