We report our results concerning the first squaramide-catalysed hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes. In all cases, the reactions proceeded smoothly and cleanly under mild reaction conditions rendering final α-hydroxy phosphonates in very good yields and high enantioselectivities. It is one of the few organocatalytic examples of this reaction using aldehydes. It is the first time that diphenylphosphite (1e) has been successfully employed in a chiral Pudovik reaction with aldehydes, in contrast to the dialkylphosphites used in previously published procedures, extending the generality of this asymmetric methodology.

Green and Effective Preparation of α-Hydroxyphosphonates by Ecocatalysis.

A green and effective approach for the synthesis of structurally diversed α-hydroxyphosphonates via hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes under solventless conditions and promoted by biosourced catalysts, called ecocatalysts "Eco-MgZnOx" is presented. Ecocatalysts were prepared from Zn-hyperaccumulating plant species , with simple and benign thermal treatment of leaves rich in Zn, and without any further chemical treatment. The elemental composition and structure of Eco-MgZnOx were characterized by MP-AES, XRPD, HRTEM, and STEM-EDX techniques.

Organocatalysts, which are less toxic than metal catalysis, as well as inexpensive, environmentally benign, and stable against moisture and oxygen compared to metal-based catalysts, have received considerable attention for being efficient and clean catalysts. With respect to green chemistry, the development of organocatalysis is a significant research subject for a sustainable society. This article reviews studies on the development of novel organocatalysts and the reactions achieved from using them.

Synthesis and herbicidal activity of optically active α-(substituted phenoxyacetoxy) (substituted phenyl) methylphosphonates.

Pestic Biochem Physiol

α-(Substituted phenoxyacetoxy) alkylphosphonates containing one chiral carbon atom have been demonstrated to be PDHc inhibitor with good herbicidal activity and some of them could be used as potential herbicide. In order to determine any difference in herbicidal activities between (R) and (S) isomers, the synthetic method of optically active substituted phenylalkylphosphonates IB were explored. A highly practical, enantioselective hydrophosphonylation was developed to prepare optically active O,O-dimethyl α-hydroxyalkylphosphonates 3 as key intermediate by asymmetric addition reaction of dimethylphosphite 1 and several kinds of aldehydes 2 using tridentate Schiff base Al(III) complexes as catalysts.
