The radical coupling of α- or β-iodo phosphorus compounds such as iodo phosphonate, iodo phosphane oxide, and iodo phosphonothioate with butenylindium species, prepared by transmetalation between a (cyclopropylmethyl)stannane and InBr3, afforded the corresponding cyclopropylmethylated products. The radical reaction was initiated by the radical species generated from butenylindium assisted by a small amount of oxygen. Butenylindium works not only as a cyclopropylmethylating reagent, but also as a radical initiator. For successful coupling, a tin/indium transmetalation was used, where it was important for the tin halide by-product to be inert to the reaction system. In addition, the transmetalation of a (cyclopropylmethyl)stannane and InBr3 provided the dibutenylindium bromide as a single product, which smoothly coupled with the unstable phosphonyl radical species from the iodo phosphorus compound. A photochemical method (UV irradiation) was also applied and accelerated the coupling reaction. The cyclopropylmethylated phosphonate produced was a good intermediate in the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction and gave functionalized olefins bearing the cyclopropane moiety. Copyright
