The N-butyl α-chlorophosphonamidates RCHClP(O)(NBut)OMe (R=H, Me, or Ph) react with benzyltrimethylammonium methoxide in tetrahydrofuran-methanol to give two types of rearrangement product, the α-aminophosphonates ButNHCHRP(O)(OMe)2 and the phosphoramidates But(RCH2)NP(O)(OMe)2.For the phosphoramidates it seems necessary to postulate the formation of a cyclic azaphosphiridine oxide intermediate, and its subsequent ring-opening, by nucleophilic attack of methoxide at phosphorus, with cleavage of the P-C bond.The α-aminophosphonates are probably also derived from the azaphosphiridine oxide, by cleavage of the P-N bond.The observation that the proportion of the phosphoramidate (P-C cleavage) increases as R changes from Me to H to Ph accords with this picture, as does the apparent lack of any P-C bond cleavage in the rearrangement of Me2CClP(O)(NHR')OMe (R'=Me or But).
