Abstract

Abstract Trimethyl phosphite has been allowed to react with methyl benzenesulfenate, methyl p-methoxybenzenesulfenate, methyl m-trifluoromethylbenzenesulfenate and methyl p-nitrobenzenesulfenate. The first three esters react at virtually the same rate whereas the p- nitro compound is considerably less reactive. These data support a mechanism which involves direct insertion of phosphorus into the S—O bond with some donation of lone ...
