15. Dimethyl phenylphosphonate was found to behave similarly, in fact, giving slightly higher rates than DMMP.
16. This estimate does not take into account the extra turnovers required to convert methyl ethyl methylphosphonate to diethyl methylphosphonate.
17. Some THF was necessary for reactivity as reactions carried out in neat tBuOAc were sluggish.
18. Since IMMP is chiral, it therefore has an additional contribution to its entropy equal to R In 2, the entropy of mixing. See: Eliel, E. L.; Wilen, S. H. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds; John Wiley & Sons: New York, 1994; Chapter 10, p 601.
