Benzoyl Peroxide → Di-n-octylphosphinic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a stirred mixture of 46.5 g (0.261 mol) of n-octylphosphinic acid in 250 mL 95% ethanol, 1-octene (58.6 g, 0.5218 mol) was added followed by 9.042 g (0.026 mol) of 70% benzoyl peroxide. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 8 hs, and then another 6.758 g (0.0196 mol) of benzoyl peroxide was added and the reaction continued to reflux for an extra 8 hs. A third 4.244 g of benzoyl peroxide was added (0.01305 mol) and refluxing continued for an extra 8 hs. The resulting mixture was cooled in the refrigerator, filtered, and 11.8 g of di-n-octylphosphinic acid was recovered using a rotary evaporator. The solid was washed with 100 mL of cooled 95% ethanol and the filtrate was concentrated on the rotary vacuum and replaced in the refrigerator. Another 24.9 g di-n-octylphosphinic acid was obtained on cooling to attain a total of 36.7 g (48.4% yield).
