Reaction of 2, 6-dibenzylidenecyclohexanone with trialkyl phosphites and dialkylphosphorous acids

Abstract

1. The reaction of 2,6-dibenzylidenecyclohexanone with trialkyl phosphites gave phosphoranes, and some of the properties of the latter were studied. 2. Depending on the temperature, 2,6-dibenzylidenecyclohexanone reacts with dialkyl phosphites to give the dialkyl esters of 2-(6-benzylidenecyclohexanone)benzylphosphonic acid, and also cyclic esters. © 1973 Consultants Bureau, a division of Plenum Publishing Corporation.
