Nucleophilic phosphorus add to tetraethyl ethylidene diphosphonate in protic solvent to yield the product of the Michael reaction. This reaction appeared to be reversible at a temperature upper than 160°C. To avoid this reverse reaction, alkylation in α position of the two phosphonate functions by activated elecrophile is reported.

The use of tetraethyl ethylidenebis(phosphonate) as a Michael acceptor with different nucleophiles was investigated. It was found that in some cases this compound undergoes phosphate removal, depending on the nature of the nucleophile. The chemical behavior of its epoxy derivative tetraethyl oxiranylidenebis(phosphonate) as an electrophile was also studied. This compound underwent a very attractive and remarkable phosphonate-phosphate rearrangement resulting in the enol phosphate 8 regardless of the nucleophile employed. Different mechanistic studies were conducted in an attempt to explain the mechanisms involved. To the best of our knowledge, this reaction constitutes a remarkable novelty, being the first reported rearrangement reaction of an epoxy derivative of a gem-bis(phosphonate). In addition, evidence supporting the involvement of a radical or a polar mechanism, depending on the nature of the nucleophile, is discussed. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2005.
