Direct Monoalkylation of Alkyl Phosphinates to Access H-Phosphinic Acid Esters
Publikationsverlauf
Publikationsdatum:

Abstract
Simple alkyl phosphinates prepared by the silicate esterification method can be alkylated under Barbier-like conditions with butyl lithium at -78 °C followed by warming to room temperature. The method is limited to the more reactive electrophile such as allylic bromides and alkyl iodides. With these electrophiles good yields of H-phosphinic acid esters are generally obtained in a straightforward manner.

- Based on this NMR data, it is not possible to unambiguously distinguish between the anion and the proposed hydrogen-bonded or tight ion-pair structures [for example for phosphites, (RO)3P and (RO)2PO- appear in the same range of chemical shift (δ = 130-150 ppm in 31P NMR), though there too ion-pairs are possible]:

The purification of H-phosphinate esters is often complicated by the very polar nature of these compounds, and their relative ease of hydrolysis. Benzyl alkyl-H-phosphinate esters are more labile than other alkyl esters.
