Atherton-Todd反应

亚磷酸二乙酯的P-H键在温和的碱性条件下与四氯化碳的作用，把P-H键转换成P-Cl键，接着和胺反应合成磷酰胺。

该反应是1945年F. R. Atherton, H. T. Openshawand, and A. R. Todd等人的一个偶然发现。实际上，他们原本的目的是想要在二苄基磷酸酯的四氯化碳溶液中加入氨水溶液来精制化合物。但是他们惊奇的发现，最后生成了O,O-dibenzyl phosphoramidate的固体。

Diethyl N-phenylphosphoramide (4). To an ice cold stirred suspension of formylanilide 1 (605 mg,5 mmol) in CCl4 (25 mL) was added 30% NaOH (10 mL) and TEBAB (0.2 g). Diethyl phosphite 2(828 mg, 6 mmol) in CCl4 (5 mL) was added dropwise. After 1 h at 0 ℃ and 4 h at 20 ℃, the organic layer gave 4, after crystallization, 0.687 g (60%), mp 96–97 ℃.

Diethyl phophoramide (5). Into vigorously stirred liquid NH3 (15–20 mL), 1.0 mmol of iodoform and 1.1 equiv of dialkyl phosphite 2 were added simultaneously at 33 C. After 5–10 min of stirring at 33 C, the cooling bath was removed and stirring was continued until NH3 was distilled off. The product was dissolved in dry chloroform and the mixture was filtered through Celite. After evaporation of the solvent, crystallization or distillation afforded 5 (83%).
