Abstract

The reactions of 2-alkoxy-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane 2-oxide with various nucleophiles were studied both experimentally and theoretically. These studies show that 5-membered ring phosphate triesters act as ambident electrophiles: hard and bulky nucleophiles attack at the phosphorus while soft nucleophiles attack at the ring carbon.
