ABSTRACT

In this work, we describe the reactivity of chlorodiphenylphosphine and its oxide, as well as diphenylphosphine, with some glyoxylate derivative systems: methyl glyoxylate, methyl or 8-phenylneomenthyl glyoxylate oximes, and methyl cyanoformate. By analyzing the reactions outcomes and with the aid of computational chemistry, we propose some reaction mechanisms and molecular rearrangements.
