Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., a solution of 6.9 g of trimethyl phosphite in 20 ml of diethyl ether is added dropwise under agitation to a solution of 9.5 g of 4-chlorophenylacetic acid chloride in 50 ml of diethyl ether. The mixture is agitated for another 90 minutes, the thus-obtained precipitate is vacuum-filtered, yielding 9.3 g (71%) of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-hydroxyethenephosphonic acid dimethyl ester, mp 89°-92° C.
