Abstract

Magnesium perchlorate is an efficient catalyst for the three-component reaction of amines, aldehydes or ketones, and di-/trialkyl phosphites (Kabachnik-Fields reaction) under solvent-free conditions to afford the corresponding α-aminophosphonates in high yields. Using Mg(ClO₄)₂ as catalyst, no imines or α-hydroxy phosphonates were observed as intermediates.
