Реферат: This review summarizes the methods for the synthesis of α-phosphonocinnamates and their heterocyclic analogs, which have found important applications in materials chemistry, as convenient building blocks in organic synthesis and in other areas of science and technology. Five complementary disconnections are critically compared: (i) Knoevenagel condensation of phosphonoacetates or phosphonoacetic acid with (hetero)aromatic aldehydes and N-tosylimines under amine, amine/carboxylic acid, or amine/Lewis acid catalysis; (ii) arsine-mediated condensation of 2-bromophosphonoacetates with aldehydes; (iii) Mn(III)- or Ag(I)-mediated radical C–P bond formation on cinnamic esters; (iv) phosphine-catalyzed hydrophosphonylation of arylpropiolates; and (v) Heck coupling of aryldiazonium salts with α-phosphonoacrylates. The factors that govern (E)/(Z) selectivity, the substrate scope (electron-rich versus electron-deficient (hetero)arenes), and the chemoselectivity issues encountered with salicylaldehydes—where acyclic phosphonocinnamates, 3-phosphonocoumarins, and [1,2]benzoxaphosphinines (2-phosphacoumarins) compete—are analyzed in detail. A dedicated section covers the synthesis of coumarin-3-phosphonates, including Knoevenagel-type cyclization, Mn(III), Ag(I), Cu or Pd-catalyzed and electrochemical phosphorylation of preformed coumarins, decarboxylative phosphorylation, and intramolecular cyclization strategies. Conflicting literature reports are reconciled where possible, and the practical strengths and limitations of each protocol are highlighted to guide method selection.
