α—Iminotrifluoroethyl Phosphonates: The First Representatives of C-Phosphorylated N-H Imines

Abstract

A convenient synthetic approach for previously unknown N-H imidoylphosphonates, based on addition of dialkyl phospites to trifluoroacetonitrile, was developed. Synthetic potentialities of imines 1 existing as equilibrium mixture of E/Z isomers, were demonstrated.

Keywords:

• Iminoalkyl phosphonates
• N-H imines
• trifluoromethyl
• aminophosphates
