This study reports the environment‐friendly electrochemical transformation of structurally diverse phosphorus compounds and alcohol into phosphonates in the presence of ammonium iodide as electrolyte and redox catalyst in acetonitrile at ambient temperature. This method for P−O bond formation exhibits remarkable features, such as transition metal‐ and oxidant‐free conditions. A reliable mechanism is proposed after control and cyclic voltammetry experiments.
