The reaction of the lithium derivative of diethyl ester of 2-(or 3-)methylphenylmethanephosphonic acid (1-Li) with a large number of symmetric and unsymmetric ketones 2a-r is studied at -70 deg C in THF, the corresponding adducts-diethyl esters of 1-(2- or 3-methylphenyl)-2,2-dialkyl(phenyl)-2-hydroxyethanephosphonic acid 3a-r being isolated.The results of stereospecific olefination of the β-hydroxyphosphonates 3j, 3k, 3o and 3p indicate the influence of combined steric effects in ketones 2 and ortho- and metha-methyl substituted benzylphosphonates 1.Spectral investigations and PM3-calculations prove high synstereoselectivity of the reaction of ortho-methyl substituted benzylphosphonates 1a with studied ketones. Key words: Stereoselectivity; arylmethanephosphonate carbanion; reaction with ketones; 2-hydroxyethanephosphonates; atropisomers; PM3-calculations.
