A great leap forward toward the general synthesis of P‐stereogenic compounds: Heating H3PO2 with (−)‐menthol and paraformaldehyde gives easily crystallized menthyl hydroxymethyl‐H‐phosphinate (1). From this product, virtually any P‐stereogenic compound can be synthesized (see picture).
向P-立体异构化合物的一般合成方面迈出了一大步:将H 3 PO 2与
(-)-薄荷醇和多
聚甲醛加热可轻松结晶出羟甲基H-
次膦酸薄荷基酯(1)。从该产品,几乎可以合成任何P立体异构化合物(参见图片)。
