Studies on selected transformations of some fluoromethanephosphonate esters

Abstract
The thermal stability of α-fluoromethanephosphonate carbanions decreases in the series CHF > CF2 > CFCl. Acylation products of the difluoromethanephosphonate carbanion show high electrophilic reactivity which results in the immediate formation of secondary products. This behaviour is not observed for the monofluoromethanephosphonate carbanion. Attempts to acylate or phosphorylate the chiorofluoromethanephosphonate carbanion unexpectedly provide esters of fluoromethylenebisphosphonic acid as products. Some physical characteristics of fluoromethanephosphonic acids are described.
