Abstract
The reactions of dimethyl methylphosphonate and its conjugate base with a variety of anions and neutral substrates, respectively, have been examined with use of the thermally equilibrated conditions (298 K) of the flowing afterglow. The conjugate base of dimethyl methylphosphonate reacts readily with alcohols and carbonyl compounds; its reaction with alcohols yields products from proton transfer, proton transfer followed by substitution at carbon, and proton transfer followed by substitution at phosphorus, while its reaction with carbonyl compounds generates products from proton transfer, Horner-Emmons-Wadsworth reaction, addition /elimination, and adduct formation
