Abstract

The state of the art of chloral applications in the chemistry of tricoordinate phosphorus derivatives has been analyzed. The highly stereoselective reaction of 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(2-oxo-1,2-diphenylethoxy)-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane with chloral has been shown to afford a caged phosphorane with the phosphorus–carbon bond, 1,1-tetramethylethylenedioxy-3,4-diphenyl-6-trichloromethyl-2,5,7,1-trioxaphosphabicyclo- [2.2.11,4]heptane. Structure of the phosphorane and its hydrolysis product, 2-(1-hydroxy-2,2,2-trichloroethoxy)- 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane, has been elucidated by X-ray diffraction analysis.
