59. In contrast, the fragmentation is not blocked for the unionizable alkyl hydroxyiminophosphonamidates, in which, presumably, back-donation from N to P supplies electrons for C-P bond cleavage. This paper reports that methyl α-hydroxyiminobenzyl-N-tert-butylphosphonamidate underwent Beckmann rearrangement when refluxed in toluene, but fragmentation to a phosphoramidate when refluxed in a high boiling alcohol, e.g. butan-1-ol or pentan-3-ol. Fragmentation carried out in a 1 : 1 mixture of the two alcohols gave the two products in a 65:35 molar ratio, resulting in the selectivity value of ≈ 0.54 (consistent with the value of 0.46-0.66 found in the present work for pentan-3-ol, while assuming a selectivity value of 1 for 1-BuOH), thus compatible with a metaphosphoramidate intermediate. These and other results reported in this paper were interpreted in terms of similar transition states for the rearrangement and the fragmentation.
