A simple, efficient, and novel method is developed for the synthesis of phosphoroamidates via an Atherton–Todd coupling reaction of amines with dialkyl H-phosphite using trichloroisocyanuric acid as an efficient and safe reagent. Treatment of amines with dialkyl H-phosphite and trichloroisocyanuric acid under base-free conditions gives phosphoroamidates in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeded effectively to afford the corresponding phosphoroamidates via a dehydrogenative coupling of H-phosphonates with amines. This method is easy, rapid, and good-yielding for the synthesis of phosphoroamidates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
