α,β-Aziridinylphosphonates by lithium amide-induced phosphonyl migration from nitrogen to carbon in terminal aziridines.

ABSTRACT: N-Phosphonate terminal aziridines undergo lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide-induced N- to C-[1,2]-anionic phosphonyl group migration under experimentally straightforward conditions, to provide a stereocontrolled access to synthetically valuable trans-α,β-aziridinylphosphonates. The utility of this chemistry has been demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of a β-aminophosphonate.
