A transition-metal-catalyzed approach to cyclic α-thiophosphonates is reported. This strategy incorporates both a Rh2(OAc)4-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of intermediate sulfur-ylides generated from α-diazophosphonates and a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of the resulting α-thiophosphonates 2 a - c to yield functionalized cyclic α-thiophosphonates 4 a - c.
