Participants

Reaction Steps

69.7 g (0.382 mol) of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl chloride and 0.9 g of triethylamine were heated under a nitrogen atmosphere to 115° C. and 57.8 g (0.191 mol) of monoethyl mono-2-tert-butylphenyl phenylphosphonite were added dropwise in one hour with stirring. Ethyl chloride was given off as a gas and was condensed in a downstream cold trap. The mixture was further stirred for 2 hours. In total, 11.7 g of ethyl chloride (95% of theory) condensed. After distilling off the excess acid chloride, the residue was distilled with the aid of a thin-film evaporator (bath temperature: 270° C.; 0.4 mbar). 70 g were obtained. The product was brought to crystallization from concentrated acetone solution, melting point: 76°-79° C. The yield was 87% of theory.
