C. Stevens et al., A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF DIALKYL [2-(BROMOMETHYL)AZIRIDIN-1-YL]METHYL]PHOSPHONATES, NEW HETEROCYCLIC BETA-AZAPHOSPHONATES, Synlett, (2), 1998, pp. 180
Dialkyl [[2-(bromomethyl)aziridin-1-yl]methyl] phosphonates were prepa
red in good yield by a convenient procedure involving the reaction of
1,3,5-triallylhexahydro[1,3,5]triazine with dialkyl phosphites, subseq
uent bromination and final ring closure upon treatment with sodium bor
ohydride in methanol.
