Abstract
Novel organic tertiary phosphine oxides for example, bidentate organophosphorus actinide extractants, such as the carbamoylmethylphosphine oxides (CMPO's) are disclosed, such compounds can be prepared (e.g., in 85% or better yield and purity) by a process involving phase transfer catalysis, under conditions where degradive hydrolysis of the products or reactants is substantially avoided. For example, tertiary carbamoylmethylphosphine oxides which are useful as extractants for transplutonium elements are disclosed and can be prepared by reaction of the corresponding secondary phosphine oxides with 2-substituted acetamides (wherever the substituent is a good leaving group, e.g., chlorine) in a two-phase system containing a high concentration of an aqueous base (preferably sodium hydroxide) and a suitable phase transfer catalyst, e.g., tetralkylammonium chlorides.
