Abstract

Diethyl 1-acetoxyalkylphosphonates were prepared from diethyl I- hydroxyalkylphosphonates and ketene in good yields. The infrared spectrum of diethyl 1- acetoxyethylphosphonate was compared with that of the product of the reaction of vinyl acetate and diethyl hydrogen phosphite in the presence of sodium ethoxide. It was thus shown that the reaction product is diethyl 1-acetoxyethylphosphonate rather than diethyl 2 ...
