Abstract

The biological importance and practical significance of phosphate esters and their analogues have been the major driving forces for research in various areas of synthetic organic phosphorus chemistry. In this Account, the authors' studies on the development of a comprehensive H-phosphonate methodology and the underlying chemistry for the preparation of biologically important phosphate esters and their analogues are briefly discussed.
