The use of chiral α-alkyl N-tert-butanesulfinyl imidates and α-aryl N′-tert-butanesulfinyl
amidines enables a diastereoselective α-hydroxylation using molecular oxygen.
The aza-enolates generated from deprotonation of the imidates/amidines react
with O2 followed by transformation into α-hydroxylation products in
the presence of trimethyl phosphite as reductant.

Trialkyl phosphites mediate a convenient, efficient, and inexpensive
deoxygenation of 1,2,3-triazine 1-oxide for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazine
derivatives in high yield. Triethyl phosphite is more reactive than trimethyl
phosphite, and both phosphites form their corresponding phosphates in these
reactions.
