Abstract

The addition of the anion of the bicyclic chiral phosphorous acid diamide 1a to aldehydes in THF solution gave α-hydroxy phosphonamides in good yield and good diastereoselectivity (54–93% de). The phosphonamides were hydrolyzed with aqueous HCl in dioxane to give α-hydroxy phosphonic acids. Methylation of the resulting phosphonic acids with diazomethane gave α-hydroxy dimethyl phosphonates without loss of stereochemical integrety.

The addition of the chiral phosphorous acid diamide (1a) to aldehydes gave 1-hydroxy phosphonamides in good yield and with good diastereoselectivity (54–93% de). Hydrolysis of the phosphonamides gave the phosphonic acids, which were methylated to yield the dimethyl phosphonates.
