Burn, A. J. published the artcileThe reactivity of organophosphorus compounds. XVII. A novel oxidation of some tervalent compounds: reduction of carbon tetrachloride to chloroform by trialkyl phosphites, Category: chlorides-buliding-blocks, the publication is Journal of the Chemical Society (1963), 5788-96, database is CAplus.
cf. CA 58, 13780a. (RO)3P react with R’OH in the presence of CCl4 or BrCCl3 to give the corresponding trialkyl phosphate, CHCl3, and an alkyl halide (when R = R’). Small quantities of the dialkyl trichloromethylphosphonate are also formed under some conditions. Variation of the phosphite and alc. (R ≠ R’) leads to mixtures of phosphates, but when R’ = tert-Bu, oxidation to (RO)3PO occurs. The results are discussed in terms of solvolysis of intermediate quasiphosphonium ions of the type [(RO)3PCCl3]+. Similar reactions involving Ph3P and (PhO)3P with EtOH and polyhalomethanes have been investigated.
Journal of the Chemical Society published new progress about 866-23-9. 866-23-9 belongs to chlorides-buliding-blocks, auxiliary class Aliphatic Chain, name is Diethyltrichloromethylphosphonate, and the molecular formula is C5H10Cl3O3P, Category: chlorides-buliding-blocks.
