Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-hydroxy-ethyl)-phosphonic acid dimethyl ester (0.250 g, 1.62 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 mL) was added 2,6-lutidine (0.284 mL, 2.44 mmol). The reaction mixture was cooled to −40° C. and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (0.355 mL, 2.11 mmol) was added. The mixture stirred in the cold bath under an inert atmosphere for 2 hours at which point the reaction was completed as shown by 31P NMR (CDCl3) δ 25.7. The mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and water both cooled by an ice-water bath. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo to afford trifluoromethanesulfonic acid dimethoxy-phosphoryl-2-ethyl ester 185 as an oil which was immediately carried forward with no further purification or characterization.
