Abstract: The 3,9-bisphenoxy-2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diphosphaspiro[5,5]undecanes substituted in positions 2; 4; 2,4; 2,6 of the phenyl groups were synthesized and the influence of substituents on hydrostability of these substances was investigated by the use of a developed titrimetric method. It has been found that different alkyl or aralkyl substituents in position 2 or 4 have not any significant influence on hydrostability. The resistance to hydrolysis of the 2,4-disubstituted derivatives in the phenyl group depends on character of the substituent in position 2 and electronic effect of the substituent in position 4. A convenient alkyl or aralkyl substitution in position 2 or 4 enables us to obtain hydrolytically very stable cyclic phosphites.
