Abstract
We report for the first time the synthesis of γ-iminophosphonates and phosphine oxides from the acid-catalysed reaction of primary amines with γ-phosphonylketones. The full characterization of these compounds through their
1H,
31P, and
13C NMR spectra indicates that they are obtained as a mixture of
Z and
E isomers. An unambiguous method for the assignment of these configurations, based on the
13C chemical shifts of C2 carbon atoms in the a position with respect to the C=N double bond is used. The
31P chemical shifts are also of diagnostic importance in assigning the
Z and
E configurations. Indeed, the phosphorus atom is found to resonate at a slightly higher field in
Z isomers.
