Microwave-assisted, ionic liquid-catalyzed aminolysis and alcoholysis of phosphinic derivatives: the interconversion of phosphinates and phosphinic amides
was developed for the preparation of alkylamino-3-phospholene oxides and for the diastereoselective synthesis of alkylaminophospholane oxides by the MW-assisted ionic liquid-catalyzed aminolysis of the corresponding cyclic phosphinates. The opposite reaction, the alcoholysis of cyclic phosphinicamides, was also elaborated. The interconversion of phosphinates and phosphinicamides may be of more general
