An efficient, practical, and green approach for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates incorporating a chromone moiety by the one-pot Kabachnik-Fields reaction has been developed. The three-component reactions of 3-formylchromones, primary amines and dialkyl phosphites was carried out in short reaction times in the absence of any catalyst or solvent under microwave irradiation. The method developed did not require column chromatographic separation since the products could be recovered from the reaction mixture by simple filtration. The method developed could be applied to a range of primary amines and dialkyl phosphites, which confirmed the large scope and functional-group tolerance.
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.
