Abstract
Abstract Aryl phosphorus compounds have found versatile applications in materials, medicinal and synthetic chemistry. As a powerful tool, aryne chemistry has been widely utilized in constructing aryl C−P bonds under mild conditions; this has enabled facile access to a variety of structurally diverse aryl–phosphorus compounds with good efficiency. The present review aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the chemistry between arynes and organophosphorus compounds, with emphasis placed on reactivity modes and mechanistic aspects. According to the valency of phosphorus atoms, this paper is divided into two main sections, reactions of arynes with organophosphorus(III) compounds and those with organophosphorus(V) compounds. magnified image
