Reaction Steps

12 M HCl (12 mL, excess) was added to diethyl 3,4,5-trifluorophenylphosphonate (320 mg) in a round bottom flask. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 12 hours. A brown oil was obtained after cooling and removal of the solvent. 1H NMR showed the presence of unreacted starting material. 12 mL of 8 M HCl was added and the reaction mixture refluxed again for several days. The mixture was allowed to cool and stand for several weeks. An off-white solid was obtained after removal of the solvent (190 mg, 76% yield). 1H NMR (400.14 MHz, DMSO) δ 7.49-7.42 (m, 2H). 13C {1H} NMR (100.62 MHz, DMSO) δ 150.1 (dddd, J=251.0, 23.7, 7.3, 2.6 Hz, 2C), 140.5 (dtd, J=253.1, 15.3, 2.6 Hz), 131.8 (dm, J=178.4 Hz), 115.3-114.9 (m, 2C). 31P {1H} NMR (161.97 MHz, DMSO): δ 9.22. Analysis calculated (found) %: C 33.98 (33.94), H 1.90 (1.80). MS (FAB, m/z): 213 (M+, 100%). Exact mass calculated (found) for [M+H]+, m/z): 212.99284 (212.99418).
