Abstract Synthetic procedures for alkanimidoylphosphoryl derivatives with α-hydrogen atoms in the N-alkyl radical are developed. Data on the effect of substituents at the carbon and phosphorus atoms on the facility of prototropic transitions in the C= NC triad are summarized. The most facile proton transfer occurs in the N-benzyl derivatives, and the prototropic isomer is the more stable, the stronger the electron-acceptor power of the ...
