Asymmetric synthesis of quaternary alpha-amino phosphonates using sulfinimines

Org Lett. 2001 May 31;3(11):1757-60. doi: 10.1021/ol015945f.

Abstract

The addition of lithium diethylphosphonate to enantiopure ketosulfinimines is highly diastereoselective (>95%), affording the first examples of quaternary alpha-alkyl alpha-amino (arylmethyl)phosphonates.
