Abstract

Ethyl metaphosphate (EtOP02), eliminated in the thermolysis of the bridged cyclic phosphonate endo-3-ethoxy-6-methyl-N-phenyl-2, 3-oxaphosphabicyclo [2.2. 2] oct-5-ene- 8, 9-dicarboximide 3-oxide, has been found to cause ring opening of epoxides, resulting in formation of 2-ethoxy-4-substituted 1, 3, 2-dioxaphospholane 2-oxides aa major products. Nfl-Diethyl metaphosphoramidate (EhNP02) reacted similarly. With ethyl ...
