Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXXVII [1]. Etude à l'aide de H2[18O] de la scission de quelques monoesters phosphoreux et de l'acide propargyl-benzènephosphonique

(1) Monopotassium phosphite KH₂PO₃ heated at 300°C with CO¹⁸O] exchanges one atom of oxygen after 3 hours, one to two atoms after 6 hours, and its three O atoms after 12 hours; the probable mecanism of this exchange is discussed. When the same treatment is carried out in the presence of o-phenylene diamine hydrochloride, the exchange is total (three O) after 3 hours at 300°C. Treated by this last procedure, benzenephosphonic acid C₆H₅PO(OH)₂ undergoes equally a total exchange of its O atoms in 3 hours.
