The interaction of 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-sorbitol with phosphorous and phenylphosphonous acid amidochlorides leads to oligophosphites and -phosphonites with free hydroxyl groups on the periphery of their molecules. The obtained compounds were introduced into reactions via the transformation of trivalent phosphorus and hydroxyl groups.
