Zr ⁴⁺ -Catalyzed Efficient Synthesis of α-Aminophosphonates [1]

Abstract

Aldimines undergo nucleophilic addition with diethyl phosphite in the presence of a catalytic amount of zirconium tetrachloride at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding α-aminophosphonates in high yields with high selectivity.

α-aminophosphonates - diethyl phosphite - imines - zirconium reagents
