The products of the reaction of several alkyl, aryl, sterically hindered aryl and cyclic phosphites, thiophosphites, benzenephosphonites and triphenylphosphine with tert-butoxyl radicals generated by thermolysis of di-tert-butyl peroxalate (DTBPO) in chlorobenzene at 50 deg C was studied. Alkyl phosphites are oxidized to the corresponding phosphates by β-scission of the intermediate phosphoranyl radicals.Phenyl phosphites react under displacement of a phenoxyl to give tert-butyl phosphites by α-scission of the intermediate phosphoranyl radicals.Sterically hindered p-methyl-phenyl phosphites also form the tert-butyl phosphites accompanied by rearranged p-hydroxyphenylmethanephosphonates.Cyclic arylene phosphites are predominantly oxidized, substitution takes place to a minor extent. Benzenephosphonites and phosphines react with tert-butoxyl radicals by oxidation to give the corresponding phosphonates and phosphine oxide, resp. Those phosphorus compounds which are oxidized with the formation of tert-butyl radicals accelerate the thermal decomposition of DTBPO under the condition studied.
