Protected primary phosphine oxides may be obtained by reaction of ethyl (diethoxyalkyl)phosphinates with organometallic reagents. These products, stable to chromatography or distillation, may be further elaborated into new, functional unsymmetrical secondary and tertiary phosphine oxides. A close analogue of muscarinic antagonists has been prepared using this methodology.
