24. Since the manufacture and utilization of BroP and BOP involve the use and formation of the carcinogenic HMPA, the unpopular BroP and BOP have been replaced by their environmentally benign analogues, i.e., PyBroP and PyBOP, as the newer generation of phosphonium reagents, see: (a) Coste, J.; Le-Nguyen, D.; Castro, B. Tetrahedron Lett. 1990, 31, 205.
25. (b) Coste, J.; Frerot, E.; Jouin, P.; Castro, B. Tetrahedron Lett. 1991, 32, 1967. Therefore, in terms of environmental impact, atom-economy, and reactivity, the order of the preferred phosphonium reagents for coupling reactions should be: PyBroP > PyBOP ≫ BroP > BOP.

43. Interestingly, direct arylation of the multifunctionalized 2-pyrimidinone with aryl boronic acids produced the unexpected biaryl ethers (9a and 10a) (C-O bond formation) as the minor side products along with the desired biaryl products (9 and 10). To confirm their structures, the identical biaryl ethers 9a and 10a were alternatively prepared via our previous phosphonium coupling for the direct C-O bond formation by using the corresponding phenols (see Supporting Information). The reason for the biaryl ether formation on this substrate was unclear, and neither C-C nor C-O bond formation was observed in the absence of PyBroP. For recent reviews on biaryl ether synthesis via Cu-mediated C-O bond formation using aryl boronic acids, see: (a) Ley, S. L.; Thomas, A. W. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 5400.
