Procedure

The amount of 1.9 moles of bis(2-chloroethyl) phosphite was reacted with excess carbon tetrachloride in the presence of a small amount of triethylamine. The bis(2-chloroethyl) phosphorochloridate formed was reacted with 0.86 mole of 2-butene-1,4-diol in the presence of pyridine. The product was isolated in the manner described in the above examples to obtain a yield of 100%. Identified by IR as tetrakis(2-bromoethyl) 2,3-butene diphosphate, the product had a refractive index (nD22) of 1.4852 and contained 29.65% chlorine and 12.24% phosphorus (compared to calculated percentages in C12H22Cl4O8P2 of 28.51% chlorine and 12.45% phosphorus).
