Reaction of α, β-dibromopropionitrile with sodium diethyl phosphite

Abstract

1. The reaction of α, β-dibromopropionitrile with sodium diethyl phosphite in a l:2 ratio proceeds with the formation of β-diethylphosphonopropionitrile. 2. The methyl ester of α, β-dibromopropionic acid reacts with sodium diethyl phosphite in a 1:2 ratio with the formation of the methyl ester of β-diethylphosphonopropionic acid. © 1972 Consultants Bureau.
