Synthesis of 2-Aminophosphates via SN2-Type Ring Openings of Aziridines with Organophosphoric Acids.

The synthesis of 2-aminophosphates is achieved by a SN2-type ring opening reaction of various N-protected or free aziridines with phosphoric acids in a regiospecific and/or enantiospecific way. A one-pot, two-step procedure is also developed enabling direct access to 2-aminophosphates from olefins without isolation of the aziridine intermediates.
