Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

18.8 g (0.6 mol) of diethyl phenylphosphonite and 64.9 g (0.6 mol) of p-cresol were mixed and heated at 300 to 500 mbar to 130° C. Ethanol distilled off via a small column. The temperature was increased to 165° C. stepwise, and the vacuum was simultaneously increased to 100 mbar. In total, 21 g (0.458 mol) of ethanol distilled off. The reaction mixture was then distilled. After a first fraction which contained the unreacted starting materials, 107 g were obtained having a boiling point of 118° to 120° C. at 0.1 mbar. At a 76% conversion rate, the yield was approximately 90% of theory.
