Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of N-protected β-amino phosphonic acid esters have been prepared by phosphine-catalyzed allylic substitution of 2-(diethylphosphonyl)-substituted allylic acetates employing 4,5-dichlorophthalimide as nucleophilic partner. These organocatalytic allylic substitutions exhibit exceptionally high levels of regiospecificity by virtue of a tandem SN2′-SN2′ mechanism.
