Abstract

A quinine-promoted, enantioselective Michael addition reaction of diphenyl phosphite with nitroalkenes has been developed. This methodology affords a facile access to enantiomerically enriched β-nitrophosphates, precursors for the preparation of synthetically and biologically useful β-aminophosphonates.
