A. Shaabani et al., 1,4-Diionic organophosphorus compounds stereoselective synthesis of dialkyl 2-(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-dioxo-pentane-3-yl-3-yide)-3-triphenylphosphoniobutane-1,4-dioates, J FLUORINE, 103(2), 2000, pp. 155-157
The addition of triphenylphosphine to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in th
e presence of 1, 1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dione leading to highly fu
nctionalized 1,4-diionic organophosphorus compounds is reported. These stab
le crystalline phosphorus betaines were characterized by spectroscopy, mass
spectrometry and elemental analysis. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All ri
