Synthesis of syn-gamma-amino-beta-hydroxyphosphonates by reduction of beta-ketophosphonates derived from L-proline and L-serine

Molecules. 2010 Mar 4;15(3):1291-301. doi: 10.3390/molecules15031291.

Abstract

The reduction of gamma-N-benzylamino-beta-ketophosphonates 6 and 10, readily available from L-proline and L-serine, respectively, can be carried out in high diastereoselectivity with catecholborane (CB) in THF at -78 degrees C to produce the syn-gamma-N-benzylamino-beta-hydroxyphosphonates 11 and 13 as a single detectable diastereoisomer, under non-chelation or Felkin-Anh model control.
