DESIGN AND REACTIVITY OF ORGANIC FUNCTIONAL GROUPS: THE HIGHLY CRYSTALLINE 2-ALKOXY N,N'-DIPHENYL-1,3,2-DIAZAPHOSPHOLANES AND THEIR FACILE CONVERSION INTO ALKYL HALIDES

Functionalization of alcohols as 2-alkoxy N,N'-diphenyl-1,3,2-diazaphospholanes affords highly crystalline derivatives useful for characterization purposes.These tervalent phosphorus derivatives undergo facile and mild conversion into the corresponding alkyl halides with inversion of configuration.
