Action of trialkyl phosphites on 10-bromoanthrone and methyleneanthrone

Abstract

1. Trialkyl phosphites undergo a Perkow reaction with 10-bromoanthrone with the formation of an anthryl dialkyl phosphite. 2. Triethyl phosphite adds to methyleneanthrone with the formation of diethyl 9-ethoxy-10-anthrylmethylphosphonate. © 1967 Consultants Bureau.
