Abstract

Aldimines undergo efficient hydrophosphonylation reactions with dimethyl phosphite in the presence of nucleophilic heterocyclic­ carbenes (NHCs) as organocatalysts to give the corresponding (α-aminoalkyl)phosphonates in moderate-to-excellent yields.

Key words

catalysis - carbenes - imines - phosphonylations - phosphonates
