Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of alkyl hydrogen alkylphosphonates 1 was studied. Different synthetic routes were investigated and it was found that alkylphosphonic anhydrides can serve as ideal precursors for the synthesis of those half-acids. It was also shown that isopropyl phosphonic dichloride reacts in a unique fashion to produce alkyl hydrogen isopropylphosphonates in moderate yields.
