Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 20 L four-necked round bottom flask fitted with an overhead stirrer and reflux condenser, flame dried and cooled in a stream of nitrogen, was charged with the product of Step 1 (250 g, 1734 mmol), THF (2500 mL), water (2500 mL) and benzyl amine (297.3 g, 2774 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 85° C. for 16 h. After completion, THF was removed under reduced pressure. The aqueous layer was extracted with ether to remove the excess of benzyl amine and later with dichloromethane (2×2500 mL). The combined dichloromethane layers were washed with brine (2×1000 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 1-benzyl-4-(propan-2-yl)-1,4-azaphosphinane 4-oxide (273 g, 63%) as brown oil.
