“…Nevertheless, it can be stated that some qualitative regularities have been elucidated to date. Thus, branched alcohols are normally less susceptible to phosphorylation than linear ones and secondary alcohols are inferior to primary ones. ,, High reactivity of ATPA toward phosphorylation of acidic alcohols 66 and especially phenols 10,14,15,17,66 has been reported. A distinctive feature of the latter compounds is that their reactivity depends appreciably on the solvent used. ,, It should be noted that intramolecular hydrogen bonds hamper phosphorylation of functionalized phenols…”
