α-Hydroxyphosphonates are formed, in addition to vinyl phosphates and dehalogenated ketones, in the reactions of trimethyl phosphite (in methanol) or triethyl phosphite (in ethanol) with variously substituted α-chloro, α-bromo, and α,α-dichloro-acetophenones.Tri-isopropyl phosphite in propan-2-ol gives only the vinyl phosphate.Ketophosphonates are not detectable amongst the reaction products under the conditions used.Trends in product composition can be correlated with the leaving ability of halogen, substituent effects, structure of the phosphite, and reaction temperature.Additional products are obtained in the reactions of trimethyl phosphite in methanol with 4-nitro-α-chloroacetophenone, which gives the dehalogenated hydroxyphosphonate, and with the α,α-dichloroacetophenones which undergo monodehalogenation.Twenty three new α-hydroxyphosphonates are reported.
