N-Alkyl/aryl-α- and β-aminoalkylphosphonic acids can be effectively prepared by reductive alkylation of azidoalkylphosphonates with
organodichloroboranes. The reaction is accompanied by simultaneous dealkylation of the phosphonates occurring via polyborophosphonates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
