Abstract
Phosphoramidites (1) have been protonated on the phosphorus atom by treatment with triflic acid and the properties and reactivity of the formed P-protonated species (2) have been studied. Cation 2 was found to react with alcohol more reluctantly than 1 in the presence of weak acids, which suggests that the fast acid-catalyzed alcoholysis of 1 must take place via N-protonation. Mechanisms of the nucleophilic displacement are discussed.
