Hr. Hudson et al., THE INTERACTION OF PHOSPHITE ESTERS WITH ALPHA-IODOKETONES IN THE PRESENCE OF SILVER ION, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 75(1-4), 1993, pp. 15-18
The reactions of trialkyl phosphites with alpha-iodoketones in the pre
sence of silver perchlorate or silver tetrafluoroborate yield the corr
esponding trialkyl phosphates and tetra-alkyl pyropbosphates. Under ce
rtain conditions, CIDNP effects indicate the involvement of radical-pa
irs in the formation of unstable betaine intermediates.
