Reaction Steps

36 g (0.153 mol) of ethyl cyclohexylphenylphosphinite are heated to 90° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere and 2.9 g (0.161 mol) of water are added dropwise with constant stirring in the course of 3 hours. The batch is further stirred at 85° to 90° C. for 3 hours. An ethanol/water mixture is then distilled off in vacuo up to an internal temperature of 95° C. 30.5 g of cyclohexylphenylphosphine oxide are obtained as residue. This corresponds to a yield of 96% of theory.
