Ethynylphosphonates (or phosphine oxides) react with a lithium halide in acetic acid at 70°C to yield (Z)-2-halovinylphosphonates (or phosphine oxides), which give (1Z,3E)-dienylphosphonates and (1Z)-en-3-ynylphosphonates (phosphine oxides) after coupling with alkenes and alkynes, respectively, in the presence of a palladium catalyst.
