Synthesis of Phosphorus Derivatives from 1,3-Dioxolan-2-one

Abstract

A new route for the synthesis of some mixed organic phosphorus compounds from 1,3-dioxolan-2-one is reported. By heating a mixture of phosphorus-chlorine derivatives and 1,3-dioxolan-2-one in the presence of a catalyst, mixed phosphorus derivatives having 2-chloroethyl ester groups could be obtained. A wide range of phosphorus derivatives can be obtained using this method.
