The lithiation chemistry of 1‐alkyl‐1 H ‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐yl phosphonic acid esters 3 has been investigated. Lithiation occurs exclusively on the 1‐alkyl group, α to nitrogen, to give carbanionic intermediates 10 . No evidence was found for any lithiation at the 3‐position of the triazole ring. On warming, intermediates 10 undergo an unusual anion‐mediated phosphonate migration, giving rise to 1 H ‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl‐methylphos‐phonates 14 .
