TABLE 2. Synthesis of r-Aminophosphonates by the Reaction of
Various N-Tosyl Aldimines and Dialkyl Trimethylsilyl Phosphites in
the Presence of Iodinea
The mixture was kept at 0 °C. Dialkyl trimethylsilyl phosphite (1.3
mmol) was subsequently added and the mixture was stirred. The
reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion the reaction was
quenched with hypo solution (10 mL) and the mixture was extracted
with CH2Cl2 (3 × 10 mL). The extract was dried and concentrated
and the residue was subjected to column chromatography (silica
gel, hexane-EtOAc) to obtain pure sulfonamide phosphonate.

trimethylsilyl phosphites in the presence of iodine. The aromatic
aldehydes contained both electron-donating as well as electron-
withdrawing groups. The aliphatic aldimine derivatives also
afforded the desired phosphonates conveniently. The reaction
was conducted at 0 °C. The conversion was completed within
1.5 to 2.5 h and the sulfonamide phosphonates were formed in
excellent yields (86-94%). Both dimethyl trimethylsilyl phos-
phite and diethyl trimethylsilyl phosphite underwent the conver-
sion smoothly. With the latter reagent the reaction can also be
carried out at room temperature. The structures of the products

The N-tosyl group of the products can easily be deprotected7
to furnish the corresponding R-amino phosphonates which can
be used to explore their biological properties. It can be
mentioned here that there have been only a few methods
reported1a,3a,4e for the preparation of N-tosyl R-aminophospho-
nates. The catalyst, iodine, is inexpensive, easily available, and
nontoxic. It efficiently conducts the hydrophosphonylation of
N-sulfonylimines by polarizing the -CHdN- bond of the
compounds.

In conclusion, we have developed a facile method for the
synthesis of sulfonamide phosphonates from N-tosyl aldimines
and dialkyl trimethylsilyl phosphites with iodine as a catalyst.
The simple experimental procedure, mild reaction conditions,
application of an easily available catalyst, impressive yields,
and short reaction times are the notable advantages of the
method.
