In situ generation of N-unsubstituted ketimines enables a one-pot
catalytic synthesis of α-tetrasubstituted amino acids. Because of the
irreversible formation of N-unsubstituted ketimines, the yields were
higher than those generated under the conventional one-pot reaction conditions.

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

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.

A synthesis of various amino phosphonates has been achieved via phosphonate
substituted carbene insertion into the N-H bond of aniline catalyzed by readily
available copper salt under mild reaction conditions in water. Using this
environmentally benign methodology a large number of biologically important
amino phosphonates have been synthesized in good isolated yields.
