Abstract

Olefin elimination does not occur during the interaction of ca. 0.2 M triisopropyl phosphite and isopropyl iodide (and of other simple tertiary phosphite–alkyl halide mixtures) in acetonitrile, contrary to a previous report. At and below 50°, the Arbuzov reaction does occur very slowly in these systems. The reaction of trimethyl phosphite and n-butyl iodide in acetonitrile gives a larger yield of dimethyl methylphosphonate than of dimethyl n-butylphosphonate.
