Abstract
A simple one-pot method for the synthesis of 2-aminoethyldiphenylphosphine oxides is developed based on readily available diphenyl(2-phenoxyethyl)phosphine oxide and amines of different types under phase transfer catalysis conditions using anhydrous cesium carbonate as a base in acetonitrile or DMSO.
