It was found that the reactions of bis(chloromethyl)-
phosphinoyl chloride (Ia) or phenyl (chloromethyl)-
phosphonochloridate (Ib) with diethyl bis(trimethyl-
silyl)phoshoramidite (II) are accompanied by libera-
tion of chlorotrimethylsilane and formation of tri-
methylsilyl bis(chloromethyl)phosphinate (VIa) or
trimethylsilyl phenyl (chloromethyl)phosphonate
(VIb), respectively.
Phosphorimidate IV reacts with the starting com-
pounds Ia and Ib to form intermediates Va and Vb,
which, as previously shown [1], undergo -cleavage
to give final products VIa and VIa, as well as oligo-
meric product VII.

The oxidative ability of phosphinoyl chloride Ia
toward P(III) derivatives was also illustrated by study-
ing its reaction with hexaethylphosphorous triamide
by 31P NMR spectroscopy. In this case, both redox

phosphinoyl chloride Ia and phosphoroamidite II

Phenyl trimethylsilyl (chloromethyl)phospho-
nate (VIb) was obtained analogously from 4.5 g of
compound Ib and 5.62 g of compound II. Yield

P
The experimental evidence obtained suggests that the
first stage of the reaction involves oxidation of phos-
phoroamidite II to diethyl trimethylsilyl (trimethyl-
silyl)phosphorimidate (IV) and, corresponingly,
reduction of compound Ia and Ib to compounds
IIIa and IIIb, respectively.
