Synthesis of α-amino phosphonates by diastereoselective addition of diethyl phosphite sodium salt to aldimines derived from Betti base

Abstract

A diastereoselective (de 80–92%) synthesis of α-amino phosphonates was accomplished by reaction of diethyl phosphite sodium salt with 3-R-1-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-naphth[1,2-e]-[1,3]oxazines being the products of aminoacetalization of aldehydes with 1-(α-aminobenzyl)-2-naphthol (Betti base).
