Abstract

The coupling reaction of alkylphosphonic acids and alcohols on the surface of p- toluenesulfonic acid-Celite under mild and solvent-free conditions gave the corresponding phosphonates in excellent yields. This method provides a useful rapid synthesis of phosphonates for use in the unambiguous identification of chemical warfare agents.
