J. Schole et al., DIETHYL ISOPROPHYL AND ISOPROPENYL PHOSPHATE VIA DIFFERENTLY GENERATED KETYL RADICALS OF ACETONE REACTING WITH DIETHYL PHOSPHORIC-ACID, Tetrahedron, 50(4), 1994, pp. 1125-1128
Photochemically excited acetone reacts in 1,2-dimethoxy ethane with di
ethyl phosphoric acid to diethyl isopropyl phosphate. The same product
is formed by reduction of acetone with magnesium amalgam in benzene i
n the presence the same phosphoric acid derivative. Thermal decomposit
ion of tetramethyldioxetane in benzene in the presence of diethyl phos
phoric acid appears to yield primarily diethyl isopropenyl phosphate.
