Previously we showed that tert-butyl tetraethyl-
phosphorodiamidite (I) reacts with CH acids by way
of protonation of the phosphorus atom to form a
hydrogen phosphite [1].
bromomalonic ester (II) which contains, on the one
hand, a very labile hydrogen atom and, on the other,
an acidic proton, we found that in the absence of sol-
vent an exothermal reaction occurs accompanied by
vigorous isobutylene evolution and leading to poly-
aminophosphine and tetraethyl ethanetetracarboxylate.

This reaction pathway agrees with the results of
Arbuzov [2] for reactions of sodium dialkyl phos-
hites with bromomalonic ester. The reaction in sol-
ents yields phosphorous bis(diethylamide) (III). The
latter reaction is accompanied by vigorous isobutylene
evolution and regeneration of bromomalonic ester (II).
