The transformation of arylcarboxaldehydes and/or - ketones 2 by three different routes into arylethylamines 3 and/or 4 is reported. According to the first route, the intermediate iminophosphonates 9 react through a classical PO-activated olefination. The second and the third involve the rearrangement of the iminophosphonates 9 into the vinylphosphoramidates 12.
