Abstract

Abstract: An efficient, versatile protocol for the synthesis of highly enantioenriched a-amino phosphonate diesters has been devised. Addition of lithium diethyl phosphite to chiral chelating imines 31a-j, prepared from a variety of aldehydes and the chiral auxiliary (R)-(-)-1- amino-1-phenyl-2-methoxyethane (29), generated predominantly the (R, R) diastereomers 33. Hydrogenolysis then furnished a-amino phosphonates 15; in most examples, the ...
