摘要:
A process for the preparation of alkyl esters of 0,0-dialkyl-4-phosphono-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid containing a high percentage of E isomers, wherein the corresponding alkyl esters of 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-butenoic acid are caused to react with PBr.sub.3 or PCl.sub.3 at temperatures ranging from 0.degree. to 80.degree. C. in the absence of pyridine and, if desired, the resulting mixture comprising predominantly alkyl esters of 4-halo-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid is caused to react with trialkyl esters of phosphorous acid at temperatures ranging from 70.degree. to 140.degree. C. The end products are desirable C.sub.5 building blocks for polyene syntheses or preceding stages.
