Reaction Steps

The electrolyte was 2.9 g. tetramethylammonium chloride in 60 ml anhydrous ethanol. The electrolysis was carried out at 35° C. for 88 hours at 6.5 v. to give 0.1 a current. Gas chromatographic analysis of the red-brown reaction liquor showed that both triethyl phosphate and triethyl phosphite were formed.
