The cycloaddition of diethyl chlorophosphite with norbornadiene: Synthesis and crystal structure of the cycloadduct.

Abstract

AbstractIn the presence of Lewis acids, diethyl phosphorochloridite reacts with norbornadiene to afford the tetracyclic phosphinate ester 3. The reaction is believed to involve formation of phosphenium ions stabilized only by alkoxy substituents. The cycloadduct of the reaction was characterized by its spectral data, by single crystal diffraction analysis of the parent acid, and 31P and 27Al nmr experiments.
