Abstract
The use of diaminomethylenemalononitrile (DMM) organocatalyst to promote the challenging 1,2-hydrophosphonylation of simple ketones and enones, which are also called α,β-unsaturated ketones, is proposed and validated. This reaction provided the corresponding chiral α-hydroxy phosphonates in high to excellent yields and with enantioselectivity up to 96% ee.
