Production of heterocyclic phosphorus-containing compounds

Claim 1

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HETEROCYCLIC PHOSPHORUS-CONTAINING ESTERS, WHICH COMPRISES REACTING IN APPROXIMATELY EQUIMOLECULAR PROPORTIONS (1) AN ESTER OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF THE DICHLOROPHOSPHATE, DIBROMOPHOSPHATE, DICHLOROTHIONOPHOSPHATE AND DIBROMOTHIONOPHOSPHATE ESTERS OF A MONOHYDROXY COMPOUND OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF (A) THE ALIPHATIC UNSUBSTITUTED MONOHYDRIC ALCOHOLS CONTAINING 1 TO 18 CARBON ATOMS, AND (B) THE LOWER ALKANOLS SUBSTITUTED ON ONE TO TWO CARBON ATOMS BY ONE TO TWO RADICALS OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF CHLORO, BROMO, CYANO, ALKOXY, CHLORALKOXY, BROMALKOXY, PHENOXYL, TOLYLOXY, AND CORRESPONDING PHENOXY AND TOLYLOXY RADICALS SUBSTITUTED ON ONE TO TWO CARBON ATOMS OF THE RING BY A MEMBER OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF THE CHLORO AND BROMO RADICALS, (C) THE LOWER ALKENOLS, (D) THE MONOHYDRIC PHENOLS HAVING 6 TO 8 CARBON ATOMS, AND (E) THE CORRESPONDING MONOHYDRIC PHENOLS HAVING ONE TO TWO CARBON ATOMS OF THE CARBOXYLIC RING SUBSTITUTED BY A MEMBER OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF THE CHLORO, BROMO AND NITRO RADICALS AND ALKYL RADICALS HAVING ONE TO 12 CARBON ATOMS, WITH (2) A DIOL OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF THE 1,3ALKANEDIOLS HAVING FROM 3 TO 32 CARBON ATOMS, CORRESPONDING 1,3-ALKANEDIOLS SUBSTITUTED ON AT LEAST ONE OF THE CARBON ATOMS BY AT LEAST ONE MEMBER OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF CHLORINE, BROMINE, AND THE PHENYL AND BENZYL RADICALS, THE 2-(1-HYDROXYALKYL)CYCLOHEXANOLS HAVING 1 TO 20 CARBON ATOMS IN THE HYDROXYALKYL GROUP, AND CORRESPONDING 2-(1-HYDROXALKYL)CYCLOHEXANOLS SUBSTITUTED ON 1 TO 2 OF THE CARBON ATOMS OF THE CYCLOHEXANOL RING BY AT LEAST ONE LOWER ALKYL RADICAL, IN THE PRESENCE OF A VOLATILE SOLVENT INERT TO THE REACTANTS, AT TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE RANGE FROM AROUND 0*C. TO AROUND 125*C. AND ELIMINATING THE BY-PRODUCT HYDROGEN HALIDE AS FORMED.
