Abstract

Phosphorus fluoride exchange (PFEx) is a catalytic click reaction that involves exchanging high oxidation state P–F bonds with alcohol and amine nucleophiles, reliably yielding P–O- and P–N-linked compounds. Here, we describe steps for preparing a phosphoramidic difluoride and performing two sequential PFEx reactions to yield a phosphoramidate through careful catalyst selection. We then detail procedures for handling and quenching potentially toxic P–F-containing compounds to ensure user safety when conducting PFEx reactions.
