A series of N-(beta -triphenylgermanyl)propionyl-alpha -amino-benzylphospho
nates was synthesized by reaction of beta -triphenylgermanyl propionic acid
with a-aminophosphonates under very mild conditions. The structures of pro
ducts were determined by H-1 NMR, P-31 NMR, IR, MS and elemental analyses.
The structure of 3a was confirmed by single-Crystal X-ray diffraction studi
es.
