Abstract

An efficient solvent-free α-phosphoryloxylation of ketones under microwave irradiation is reported. When ketones reacted with phosphates and (diacetoxyiodo)benzene under microwave irradiation for short time, the α-phosphoryloxylaction of ketones was easily be carried out and the corresponding ketol phosphates were prepared in moderate to good yields.
