Abstract

A systematic study of the reaction conditions for the preparation of pure aryl-H-phosphinate esters, originally developed by Sander and optimized by Petneházy, is reported. The influence of the reaction concentration has been investigated for the formation of phosphonite intermediates via direct addition of triethyl phosphite to the appropriate Grignard reagent. Subsequent hydrolysis of the phosphonites under acidic conditions gives various aryl-H-phosphinates in high yields and purities.
