Abstract
The reaction of trialkyl phosphites, dialkyl phenylphosphonites or alkyl diphenylphosphinites with N-alkylalkanimines in the presence of hydrogen chloride gives dialkyl 1-(alkylamino)alkylphosphonates, alkyl [1-(alkylamino)alkyl]phenylphosphinates or [1-(alkylamino)alkyl]diphenylphosphine oxides respectively, via Arbusov-like reaction of iminium salts generated ‘in situ’ from N-alkylalkanimines. This reaction is an alternative and competitive to known method of preparation based on the addition of H-P compounds to N-alkylalkanimines, because it gives higher yields, no heating is necessary, and the isolation of products is easy.

Goldeman W.Soroka M. Synthesis 2006, 3019 - This statement is rather intuitive because there is no way to have the imine and the corresponding iminium salts exactly in the same reaction environment. However, experiments ‘in silico’ indicated that the iminium ions have a lower barrier than the corresponding imines. See for example:

J. 2009, 15: 6718 - Searching common databases gives a few hundred publications concerning aminophosphonates, more than three hundred 1-(alkylamino)alkylphosphonates, and about 150 papers describing their synthesis and properties. Since citation of all of them in this short article is inappropriate, we cite here only these papers that are strongly connected to our work. First, general methods of synthesis of these compounds based on the addition of dialkyl phosphonates to alkanimines was described by Pudovik and co-workers and independently by Fields in 1952:
