Phosphoryl compounds in strong acids. Stability of the P–N bond and alkyl–oxygen cleavage of phosphoramidates in trifluoromethanesulphonic acid
Abstract
In trifluoromethanesulphonic acid (HTFMS) the P–N bond of (RO)2P(O)NMe2 is stable, but de-O-alkylation is observed; rates of the oxygen–alkyl cleavage of phosphoramidates and some other phosphoryl compounds in HTFMS have been determined.
