Abstract
Abstract Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride (2) rearranges to bis(hydroxymethyl)methylphosphine oxide (3) upon acid hydrolysis. The extent of rearrangement increases with acid strength, but the product is apt to undergo further reaction, losing one or both of its hydroxyl functions.
