The reaction of a trialkyl phosphite with trimethylsilyl iodide, which leads to O-trimethylsilylesters of alkylphosphonic acid, has been shown to involve several steps, all of which are defined.The first step is the formation of the iodophosphite, involving a four centre mechanism in which PIII plays the role of electrophile.This is in contrast to the analogous reaction of phosphites with alkyl halides (the Arbuzov reaction) which begins with nucleophilic attack of the phosphorus.
