The general structure of a phosphite ester showing the lone pairs on the P. In organic chemistry, a phosphite ester or organophosphite usually refers to an organophosphorous compound with the formula P(OR) 3. They can be considered as esters of an unobserved tautomer phosphorous acid, H 3 PO 3, with the simplest example being trimethylphosphite ...
Phosphite esters with tertiary alkyl halide groups can undergo the reaction, which would be unexpected if only an S N 2 mechanism was operating. Further support for this S N 1 type mechanism comes from the use of the Arbuzov reaction in the synthesis of neopentyl halides, a class of compounds that are notoriously unreactive towards S N 2 reactions.
Phosphites, sometimes called phosphite esters, have the general structure P(OR) 3 with oxidation state +3. Such species arise from the alcoholysis of phosphorus trichloride: PCl 3 + 3 ROH → P(OR) 3 + 3 HCl. The reaction is general, thus a vast number of such species are known.
The Baeyer–Villiger oxidation is an organic reaction that forms an ester from a ketone or a lactone from a cyclic ketone, using peroxyacids or peroxides as the oxidant. [1] The reaction is named after Adolf von Baeyer and Victor Villiger who first reported the reaction in 1899. [1] Baeyer-Villiger oxidation
The Perkow reaction is an organic reaction in which a trialkyl phosphite ester reacts with a haloketone to form a dialkyl vinyl phosphate and an alkyl halide. [1] The Perkow reaction
Triethyl phosphite (TEP) is an organophosphorus compound, specifically a phosphite ester, with the formula P(OCH 2 CH 3) 3, often abbreviated P(OEt) 3. It is a colorless, malodorous liquid. It is used as a ligand in organometallic chemistry and as a reagent in organic synthesis.
The reaction involves migration of a proton (H) from carbon to oxygen: [1] RC(=O)C H R′R′′ ⇌ RC(O H )=CR′R′′ In the case of ketones, the conversion is called a keto-enol tautomerism, although this name is often more generally applied to all such tautomerizations.
The Knorr pyrrole synthesis is a widely used chemical reaction that synthesizes substituted pyrroles (3). [1] [2] [3] The method involves the reaction of an α-amino-ketone (1) and a compound containing an electron-withdrawing group (e.g. an ester as shown) α to a carbonyl group (2).
