It was found for the first time that organic alkali metal compounds serve as highly efficient precatalysts for the hydrophosphonylation reactions of aldehydes and unactivated ketones with dialkyl phosphite under mild conditions. For ketone substrates, a reversible reaction was observed, and the influence of catalyst loading and reaction temperature on the reaction equilibrium was studied in detail. Overall, the hydrophosphonylation reactions catalyzed by 0.1 mol % n-BuLi were completed within 5 min for a broad range of substrates and generated a series of α-hydroxy phosphonates in high yields.
