Some Potential Chiral Catalysts for Preparation of Asymmetric α-Aminophosphonates

Abstract

Some promising chiral catalysts and their role in asymmetric catalysis are discussed. Special attention has been paid to identify potential chiral hydrogen bond donors for the preparation of asymmetric α-aminophosphonates from achiral imine and dialkyl phosphite. A background review along with our ongoing work and futuristic trend in this area are presented. Keywords: Asymmetric α-aminophosphonates, chiral catalyst, asymmetric induction, synthesis, bifunctional chiral organocatalyst
