An efficient method has been developed for reacting dialkyl H-phosphonates or diarylphosphine oxides with alcohols for constructing C-P bonds. This reaction was catalyzed by Lewis acid and involved nucleophilic substitution. A series of diphenylphosphonates and diphenylphosphine oxides were obtained, from the phosphorylation of alcohols, with good-to-excellent yields.
