Trimethylsilyl halide-promoted Michaelis-Arbuzov rearrangement.
[reaction: see text] We describe a new, straightforward, and easy-to-handle method for achieving an unprecedented trimethylsilyl halide-catalyzed Michaelis-Arbuzov-like rearrangement. This rearrangement occurs at temperatures from room temperature to 80 degrees C and does not require addition of any alkyl halide. The scope and limitations of this new reaction are explored, as well as its mechanism.

Easy access to phosphonothioates.
A new and particularly mild method for the formation of phosphorus-sulfur bonds has been achieved through base-catalyzed addition of thiocyanate to the corresponding H-phosphine oxide, phosphinate, or phosphonate. This reaction procedure offers many advantages: the use as starting material of a stable and not oxygen-sensitive phosphorus(v) species, particularly mild and nonaqueous reaction conditions and workup (a pivotal point for these sensitive phosphonothioates), and, through optimized access to thiocyanates, a wider scope of substrates. This method has been applied to achieve the synthesis of substrate analogues for the study of antibody-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor PhX (11).
