Conclusions
-
1.
We have synthesized o-phosphorus-substituted benzyl and phenethyl alcohols of formula o-R2P(O)-C6H4(CH2)nOH and o-R2P(O)CH2C6H4CH2OH (R=C6H5 or C2H5, n=1 or 2) from their methyl ethers via the corresponding bromides and acetoxy derivatives.
-
2.
Hydrolysis of the substituted bromides containing a diethylphosphinyl group can be effected not only via the corresponding acetoxy derivatives but also by treatment with sodium bicarbonate.
