Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.2 g (0.005 mol) of tertiary-butyl(iso-butyl)(diethoxymethyl)phosphine oxide in 10 ml of 5% hydrochloric acid is heated at 80° C. for 9 hours. After this the mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature, evaporated under reduced pressure and the crude product is extracted into chloroform and washed with water.
