Reactions of 2- and 4-pyrones with secondary phosphine chalcogenides: a facile synthesis of functional phosphorylated pyrones

The oxidative cross-coupling between 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone or 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone and secondary phosphine chalcogenides proceeds in CCl4/Et3N under mild conditions (20–52 °С, 0.75–10 h) through the hydroxyl group to give O-(6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-4-yl) diorganylphosphinochalcogenoates or O-(2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-3-yl) diorganylphosphinochalcogenoates, in high yields.
