Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20.0 g of O-isopropyl P-ethyl[[2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)sulfonyloxy]methyl]phosphinate (Compound 119), 80 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane and 4.6 ml of thionyl chloride was heated to 50° C. for four hours. 31P NMR analysis of an aliquot of the reaction showed that one third of the starting material was still present so the reaction was heated to 50° C. for 1.5 hours, cooled and let stand at room temperature for 65 hours, heated again to 50° C. for 4 hours and let stand overnight. 31P NMR indicated that starting material was still present so 2 ml of thionyl chloride was added and the reaction was heated to 50° C. for 3.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 19.4 g of the desired phosphinoyl chloride which was shown to be 95% pure by 31P NMR.
