R. Hamilton et al., THE REACTION OF DIMETHYL DIOXIRANE WITH DIAZOMETHYLPHOSPHONATES - THEFIRST SYNTHESIS OF A FORMYLPHOSPHONATE HYDRATE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (1), 1994, pp. 37-38
Formylphosphonate hydrate 8, synthesized for the first time by the rea
ction of diethyl diazomethylphosphonate with dimethyl dioxirane (DMD),
reacts with primary amines to provide imines 9 and 10; compound 9 is
also prepared by the reaction of the anion of diethyl methylenebisphos
phonate with nitrosobenzene.
