Abstract

Alkali metal salts of diethyl phosphites act as nucleophiles or electron donors in reactions with diethyl phosphorochloridate. Evidence is provided that formation of the direct P (IV) P (IV) bond proceeds via a single electron transfer process (SET) from phosphite anion to phosphorochloridate.
