SURFACE-MEDIATED SOLID PHASE REACTIONS: MICROWAVE ASSISTED ARBUZOV REARRANGEMENT ON THE SOLID SURFACE

Abstract

Microwave assisted Arbuzov rearrangement under solvent-free condition was found to be an efficient method for the preparation of dialkyl alkylphosphonates of alkyl halides. This method is an easy, rapid, and high-yielding reaction for the Arbuzov rearrangement.
