Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of alpha-hydroxy phosphonates

J Am Chem Soc. 2006 Jun 14;128(23):7442-3. doi: 10.1021/ja062091r.

Abstract

Tertiary alpha-hydroxy phosphonates have been synthesized in good yields and high enantiomeric purity (up to 99% ee) through a novel l-proline-catalyzed cross aldol reaction of alpha-keto phosphonates and ketones.
