Abstract

Compounds 1-5 were prepared to compare reactivity patterns of cyclic and acyclic phosphonylurea esters. The rates and products of reactions of phosphonylurea esters (1-3) with hydroxide in aqueous acetonitrile were analyzed. In these compounds the phosphonate moiety is in a strained five-membered ring, which also contains the ureido group. Structural determination of 1 by X-ray crystallography indicates that the five-membered ring is planar ...
