Reaction Steps

200 ml (100 mmol) of potassium diphenylphosphide solution in THF (manufacturer: Aldrich) were added dropwise at -5° C. to a solution of 21.90 g (95 mmol) of isobutyl 4-fluorophenylmethylphosphinate in 150 ml of THF. After stirring for 20 hours at 23° C., the mixture was hydrolyzed by addition of 250 ml of degassed water and stirring for 15 minutes. Extraction with ethyl acetate, drying of the organic phase over Na2SO4, evaporation on a rotary evaporator and drying under reduced pressure gave 37.0 g of isobutyl (4-diphenylphosphinophenyl)methylphosphinate in the form of a yellow oil.
