Interactions of carborane-containing electrophiles with triethyl phosphite. Synthesis of new carborane-containing phosphonates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/bf02494512

The reactions of o-carboran-1-ylethyl mesylates with triethyl phosphite and sodium diethyl phosphite were studied. Carborane-containing phosphonates were synthesized. The reaction of o-carboranylacetyl chloride with triethyl phosphite afforded O,O-diethyl (E)-2-(o-carboran-1-yl)-1-(o-carboran-1-ylacetoxy)vinylphosphonate rather than oxo phosphonate.
