Concerning the Phosphorylation of Vicinal Diols

Abstract
The specific use of n-butyllithium as the base for reaction of diethyl phosphorochloridate with diols leads to the formation of diphosphate esters in good to excellent yields without any evidence for the formation of 5-, 6-, or 7-membered cyclic phosphates.
