The catalytic phosphorylation of α-polyfluoroalkylbenzyl alcohols by bis(polyfluoroalkyl) chlorophosphates is a convenient method for the synthesis of various bis(polyfluoroalkyl)(α-polyfluoroalkylbenzyl) phosphates, including those having donor substituents in the benzene ring.It was shown that in the series of p-methyl-α-trifluoromethylbenzyl phosphates p-CH3C6H4CH(CF3)OP(O)XY (where X, Y = Cl, CF3CH2O), the ability to act as O-alkylating agents with respect to polyfluorinated alcohols is a common characteristic, and the alkylating ability increases symbatically with increase in the overall electron-acceptor strength of the X and Y substituents at the phosphorus atom.
