Quinquecovalent adducts from ethylene phosphonothioites and from dimethyl t-butylphosphonite
Abstract
Quinquecovalent adducts from ethylene phosphonothioites readily eliminate ethylene sulphide to give phosphoryl compounds; the low-temperature 1H n.m.r. spectrum of the adduct of dimethyl t-butylphosphonite with methylenedeoxybenzoin shows that the t-butyl group preferentially occupies an equatorial position.
