Abstract

The reaction of trialkyl phosphites with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of hydrogen chloride gives dialkyl 1-hydroxyalkylphosphonates via Arbusov-like reaction of oxonium salts derived from aldehydes or ketones. This reaction is a very convenient instant method for the preparation of dialkyl 1-hydroxyalkylphosphonates with a good yield as an alternative to the well-known Abramov reaction.

Key words

Abramov reaction - nucleophilic addition - addition reactions - 1-hydroxyphosphonates

The chemistry of 1-hydroxyalkylphosphonic acids is of course much older. 1-Hydroxyalkylphosphonic acids were prepared in the 19^th and 20^th centuries by Marie and Fossek:

Later, Conant described the preparation of some 1-hydroxyalkylphosphonic acids in the reaction of phosphorous (phosphonic) acid or phosphorus trichloride with aldehydes or ketones:

This reaction is commonly called the Abramov reaction. For the most representative Abramov papers, see:
