As. Demir et al., A SIMPLE SYNTHESIS OF 1-AMINOPHOSPHONIC ACIDS FROM 1-HYDROXYIMINOPHOSPHONATES WITH NABH4 IN THE PRESENCE OF TRANSITION-METAL COMPOUNDS, Tetrahedron letters, 37(3), 1996, pp. 407-410
A new procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 1-aminophospho
nic acids. Diethyl phosphonates are converted to hydroxyiminophosphona
tes when treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Reduction of hydrox
yiminophosphonates with NaBH4 in MeOH in the presence of MoO3 or NiCl2
and hydrolysis of 1- aminophosphonates gave 1-aminophosphonic acids i
n good yield.
