Abstract

A Michael addition reaction of cyclic ketones and piperidones to a vinyl phosphonate is described. The reaction, catalyzed by chiral diamines, produced geminal g-oxobisphosphonates in high yields (up to 92%) and very high ees (up to >99%). Disubstituted ketones gave drs of up to 8 : 92. The synthesis and characterization of several new compounds with potential biological activity is described.
