Abstract
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.
