Convenient methods for the synthesis of a series of organophosphorus analogs of glycine containing aminomethyl groups as well as azaheterocyclic and amino acid moieties have been developed. Aminomethylation of phosphinic acid esters with chloro-, alkoxy- and amino-substituted methyl(dialkyl)amines affords various new functionalized aminomethylphosphonites and bis(aminomethyl)phosphinates. The resulting compounds
