This work reports the first method for the synthesis of α-hydroxyphosphonates from aldehydes catalyzed by cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) complexes. The best results were obtained using the system HP(O)(OEt)2/[RuClCp(PPh3)2] (5 mol%), affording the α-hydroxyphosphonates in good to excellent yields with high chemoselectivity. The catalyst [RuClCp(PPh3)2] can be used for at least 12 catalytic cycles with
