Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2, 6-Dichlorobenzyl bromide (1.20 g, 5 mmol) was mixed with triethyl phosphite (1.66 g, 10 mmol) and heated at 150° C. for 2 h. The resulting mixture was then distilled at 160° C. under reduced pressure (10 mm Hg) to remove the excess triethyl phosphite. (2,6-Dichloro-benzyl)-phosphonic acid diethyl ester was obtained as a colorless liquid (1.46g, 100%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.33-7.28 (m, 2H), 7.15-7.07 (m, 1H), 4.14-4.02 (m, 4H), 3.60 (d, 2H, J=22.4 Hz), 1.27 (t, 6H, J=7.0 Hz).
