A Green Protocol for the Synthesis of α-Amino Phosphonates Catalyzed by Orange Peel Powder
Keyword(s):
A simple and green protocol has been developed for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates from different substituted aromatic aldehydes, aniline and dimethyl phosphite in the presence of orange peel powder (OPP) as a natural catalyst under reflux conditions. The main advantages of this method are the high yield of product, simple workup procedure, short reaction time and easily available catalyst.
