Abstract
Reactions of N-trifluoroacetyl trifluoroacetimidoyl chloride with acyclic or cyclic phosphites proceed by the cheletropic 1,4-cycloaddition scheme to form mono- or spirocyclic phosphoranes. The spirophosphorane resulting from the reaction with diethylamino-o- phenylenedioxyphosphite undergoes unusual acid catalyzed stereoselective rearrangement involving ring expansion to afford functionalized cyclic aminophosphonate.
