• phenoxyl radical with PbO2 in toluene [36]. Synthesis from diazomethylenebisphosphonates The feasibility of synthesizing trisphosphonate esters under mild conditions via metal-carbenoid-mediated P–H insertion reactions was demonstrated by Gross et al. [25]. In particular, the reaction between tetraethyl
