A simple, efficient, quinine-catalyzed, enantioselective hydrophosphonylation of N-Boc protected imines with diethyl poshphite gives enantiomerically enriched α-amino phosphonates in good yields.

A low catalyst loading of a chiral tethered bis(8-quinolinolato) (TBOx) aluminum(III) complexe effectively catalyzes the addition of phosphites to aldehydes and aldimines to give enantioenriched α-hydroxy and α-amino phosphonates in high yields and enantioselectivities.

A chiral thiourea catalyzes the highly enantioselective hydrophosphonylation of a wide range of N-benzyl imines. Subsequent deprotection by hydrogenolysis provides access to free α-amino phosphonic acids in highly enantioenriched form.

A three-component reaction of nitro compounds, carbonyl compounds, and phosphites in the presence of indium in dilute aqueous HCl enables a high-yielding synthesis of α-amino phosphonates at room temperature. This one-pot conversion consists of reduction of nitro compounds to amines, formation of imines, and hydrophosphonylation.

Treatment of N-tosyl aldimines with dialkyl trimethylsilyl phosphites at 0 °C in the presence of iodine as a catalyst afforded the corresponding sulfonamide phosphonates in excellent yields in short reaction times.

A new, very mild, efficient and simple method for the preparation of tertiary α-amino phosphonates is reported. The reaction of an aldehyde, a secondary amine and trialkylphosphite in ethereal solution of lithium perchlorate (LPDE) at ambient temperature gives the desired product in high yields.
