The beta-ethoxy-alpha-phosphonovinyl anion, generated from beta-(ethoxy)vinylphosphonate 1 and LDA, reacted with aldehydes and ketones or phenyl isocyanate to give the corresponding allylic alcohols 2a-m or 1,3-diphenyl-5-phosphonouracil 4 in good or moderate yields. Treatment of the alcohols 2a-d,g,h,j with trifluoroacetic acid led to alpha-formylvinylphosphonates 5a-d,g,h,j in excellent yields. Synthetic application of the alpha-formylvinylphosphonates 5a-d,g,h to phosphono-substituted heterocyclic compounds was studied.
