| Abstract: | Abstract Treatment of dialkyl (or diaryl) phosphites with titanium tetrakis-(diethylamide) at room temperature resulted in a smooth displacement of both ester functions by the diethylamino groups to give bis(diethylamino) phosphorus acid (58–65%). The same results are obtained at ?40° and no evidence of an intermediate product was detected using 1H n.m.r. techniques. Treatment of dimethyl phosphite with titanium tetrakis(n-dibutylamide) resulted in isolation of two products which were identified as bis-(n-dibylamino) phosphorus acid (52%) and methyl-(n-dibutylamino) phosphorus acid (21%). On the other hand, trialkyl (triaryl) phosphates are inert to the titanium reagents. |
