The MW-assisted Diels-Alder reaction of dihydrophosphinine oxides (1) with N-phenylmaleimide may be advantageous to carry out in [bmim][BF 4 ] due to shorter reaction times, but the dimerization of the double-bond isomers (A and B) of the dihydrophosphinine oxides (1) may be best accomplished under MW in the absence of any solvent. The fragmentation-related phosphorylations may also be carried out under MW, which with the P-phenyl precursor (4a) became more efficient in [bmim][BF 4 ].
