ARBUZOV REACTION

Arbuzov Reaction
Michaelis-Arbuzov Reaction





The reaction of a trialkyl phosphite with an alkyl halide to produce an alkyl phosphonate. The first step involves nucleophilic attack by the phosphorus on the alkyl halide, followed by the halide ion dealkylation of the resulting trialkoxyphosphonium salt.

This reaction sees extensive application in the preparation of phosphonate esters for use in the Horner-Emmons Reaction.
