Trimethyl phosphite, (MeO)(3)P, is introduced as an efficient and selective trap in oxiranylcarbinyl radical (2) systems, formed from haloepoxides 8-13 under thermal AIBN/n-Bu(3)SnH conditions at about 80 degrees C. Initially, the transformations of 8-13, in the absence of phosphite, to

The reactions of unsaturated chloride polyether polyol with trimethyl phosphite have been studied by FTIR, which was prepared by copolymerization of ethanediol, allyl glycidyl ether and epoxychloropropane. The experimental results showed that the reaction included ester-exchange reaction, ester-exchange polymerization and
