Abstract
Simple alkyl phosphinates prepared by the silicate esterification method can be alkylated under Barbier-like conditions with butyl lithium at -78 °C followed by warming to room temperature. The method is limited to the more reactive electrophile such as allylic bromides and alkyl iodides. With these electrophiles good yields of H-phosphinic acid esters are generally obtained in a straightforward manner.
Key words
phosphorus - H-phosphinic acid - phosphinates - alkylation - hypophosphite

8 The purification of H-phosphinate esters is often complicated by the very polar nature of these compounds, and their relative ease of hydrolysis. Benzyl alkyl-H-phosphinate esters are more labile than other alkyl esters.
