Chiral biphenylamide derivative: an efficient organocatalyst for the enantioselective synthesis of alpha-hydroxy phosphonates

Org Biomol Chem. 2009 Nov 7;7(21):4355-7. doi: 10.1039/b917554g. Epub 2009 Sep 17.

Abstract

The aldol reactions of alpha-keto phosphonates and aldehydes were facilitated by an axially chiral biphenylprolinamide under mild conditions, affording the synthetically and pharmaceutically useful products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
