Mukaiyama–aldol reaction is probably one of the most efficient strategies to prepare synthetically useful β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds. However, only several reported methods were concerned with the accesses to α-fluoro-β-hydroxy esters. Herein, we report a protocol for a fluoride anion-mediated Mukaiyama aldolreaction with low catalytic loading in a short reaction time to incorporate fluorine at the α position
The three-component condensation reactions of dialkyl phosphite, carbonylcompound, and an amine gave 1-aminophosphonates in good to excellent yields under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions at ambient temperature. Hydrophosphorylation of imines in the presence of dialkyl phosphite under the same conditions gave also 1-aminophosphonates in good to excellent yields. These results showed that the
