The reaction of alkene-tethered trifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides with trialkyl phosphites furnishes 1-amino-2,2,2-trifluoroalkylphosphonates. The products were generated in moderate to good yields, and the scalability of this process was showcased. Partial hydrolysis of the phosphonate moiety was achieved. The cyclization is proposed to occur via formation of an imidoyl phosphonate intermediate that becomes susceptible to nucleophilic attack at nitrogen through the strong electron-withdrawing groups at the imidoyl carbon.
