effective enantioselective hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes. A variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, condensed-ring, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes were found to be suitable substrates for the reaction, and the desired α-hydroxy phosphonate were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) with moderate to good enantioselectivities (up to 87% ee) under mild conditions (at 0 °C).

An unusual dinuclear chiral iron complex has been synthesized and effectively utilized in the asymmetric hydrophosphorylation of aldehydes to synthesize optically active α-hydroxy phosphonates with excellent yield and good enantioselectivity.
Chiral N,N'-dioxide-Ytterbium(III) complexes promoted the asymmetric addition of diethyl phosphate to aldehydes, giving the corresponding products with good yields and enantioselectivities. The addition of pyridine favored both reactivity and enantioselectivity. A possible catalytic cycle was proposed to explain the mechanism of the asymmetric hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes.
