Base-induced rearrangement of the O-methanesulphonyl derivatives of N-(alkylphenylphosphinoyl)hydroxylamines. Highly selective migration of the phenyl group
Abstract
The N-(alkylphenylphosphinoyl)-O-methanesulphonylhydroxylamines RPhP(O)NHOSO2Me (R = Me, Et, or Pri) react readily with MeNH2 or NaOMe–MeOH to give products resulting from phenyl, but not alkyl, migration.
