21. 8 has been recently reported. In the semistabilized case, a dibenzophosphole-substituted phosphorus atom in the oxaphosphetane is stabilized relative to the phosphine oxide product; hence, the decomposition rate is retarded. In the stabilized case, resistance to oxaphosphetane decomposition is provided by the stabilizing effects of electron-withdrawing groups and ring strain on the phosphorus atom.
