Diethyl phosphite may be used to prepare the nickel chloride-diethyl phosphite system, efficient catalyst for the cross-coupling reaction between various functionalized arylzinc halides and aryl bromides, triflates and activated chlorides. It may be used:
  • in the stereoselective synthesis of β-fluorinated alkylphosphonates
  • in the synthesis of homoallylic bromide
  • in the synthesis of series of carbazole-based α-aminophosphonates
