N,N-Disubstituted formamides such as dimethylformamide, N-formylpyrrolidine, N-formylpiperidine etc. and also pyridine and hexamethylphosphonic acid triamide catalyze the chlorination of phosphonates with thionyl chloride to give phosphonyl dichlorides in high yield.Thus RP(O)Cl2, R=CH3, C2H5, n-C12H25, C6H5, have been isolated in better than 90 per cent yield.The procedure is less satisfactory for the production of 2-chloroethylphosphonyl dichloride.Only a 34 per cent yield was realized.The chlorination proceeds very likely through the intermediate formation of the halfesters, RP(O)(OR)Cl since these could be isolated under favorable circumstances.
