Benzylamine → 1-Benzyl-4-methyl-1,4-azaphosphinane 4-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl divinyl phosphine oxide (1.16 g, 10.0 mmol) and benzylamine (1.20 mL, 11.0 mmol) in 1:1 THF/water (25 mL) was heated at reflux for 16 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-10% 7N ammonia in methanol:dichloromethane) to afford 1-benzyl-4-methyl-[1,4]azaphosphinane-4-oxide as a white solid (1.57 g, 70% yield).
