A little cooperation goes a long way: The cooperative Brønsted/Lewis acid-base supramolecular catalysts formed in situ from simple chiral magnesium(II) binaphtholate aqua complexes promoted the highly enantioselective 1,4-hydrophosphinylation of α,β-unsaturated esters with diaryl phosphine oxides and 1,2-hydrophosphonylation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with dialkyl phosphites (see scheme).

N-Heterocyclic carbenes catalyzed hydrophosphonylation reaction of α-ketoesters and α-trifluoromethyl ketones was developed. Under the catalysis of 10 mol% IPr, α-ketoesters or α-trifluoromethyl ketones reacted with dialkyl phosphites to provide quaternary α-hydroxyphosphonates in good to excellent yield.

A new approach for the synthesis of two enantiomers ?-phosphorus-containing ?-amino acids was developed via Michael addition secondary phosphine oxides and dialkyl phosphites to chiral Ni(ii)-complexes a dehydroalanine-Schiff base.

The Abramov reaction, a base-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of dialkyl H-phosphonates (phosphites) to carbonyl compounds, was performed with oxidized quinine derivatives as the substrates. Homologous aldehydes obtained from the vinyl group reacted in a typical way which led to α-hydroxyphosphonates, first reported compounds containing a direct P-C bond between the quinine carbon skeleton and a...

In this study, we have developed an efficient protocol for synthesis of phosphorus-substituted heterocycles through reaction between 2-Aryl quinoxalines and dialkyl phosphites under transition-metal-free conditions. Here, K2S2O8 has been used as the sole oxidant facile phosphorus substituted derivates. A variety heteroaryl phosphonate derivatives synthesized optimized conditions in good to exce...

A family of α-aryl-α-aminophosphonates and α-aryl-α-aminophosphine oxides was synthesized by the microwave-assisted solvent-free addition of dialkyl phosphites and diphenylphosphine oxide, respectively, to imines formed from benzaldehyde derivatives and primary amines. After optimization, the reactivity was mapped, and the fine mechanism was evaluated by DFT calculations. Two α-aminophosphonate...

A simple one-step synthesis was accomplished for the preparation of N-phosphoramidophosphonates by a direct reaction of phosphoramidate (1) with heterocyclic aldehydes (2a-j) and dialkyl phosphites at 60-70 degrees C in the presence of tetramethylguanidine. The tetramethylguanidine not only catalyses this reaction but also helps to form pure products in high yields in lesser time. They exhibite...

The reaction  between  trialkyl  phosphites  with  dialkyl  actylenedicarboxylates  in the presence of 2-hydroxyquinoline  (2-quinolinol)  leads  to  β-aminophsphonates derivatives  which  they  have  many applications in medicinal chemistry. When the reaction was performed by triphenylphosphite, a new pyrano quinoline  compounds  were obtained  in  fairly  good  yields. These  compounds also  ...
