Phenol → Phosphorodichloridous acid, phenyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Further starting compounds HalPnR1R2 and HalPnR3R4 are obtainable by stepwise synthesis. Thus, for example, reaction of phenol with phosphorus trichloride in the presence of a tertiary amine, e.g. triethylamine, produces phenoxyphosphorus dichloride which can be reacted with one equivalent of the appropriate pyrrole compound, e.g. pyrrole, in the presence of a tertiary amine to give phenoxypyrrolylphosphorus chloride.
