Imines 1a,b were unexpectedly found to react quantitatively
with dialkyl chlorophosphites in a 1:2 ratio to give stereo-
isomeric bis[1-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)alkyl]amines 9a–c as the
final products (Scheme 1).‡ Compounds 9a–c were purified
by column chromatography; the analytically pure samples of
individual diastereomers were isolated from corresponding eluted
