Abstract
This review presents a comprehensive account of methods which are commonly applied for the synthesis of α- aminophosphonic acids. In the following order, protocols based on the methodologies listed below are discussed: a) simultaneous formation of P-CN systems; b) nucleophilic substitution with phosphoroorganic nucleophiles; c) additions of the P-H functions to multiple C-N bonds; d) α – amination of phosphonates and functionalized alkylphosphonates; e) modifications of the side chain of aminoalkylphosphonates; f) modifications of phosphorus functions and h) modifications of functions containing nitrogen.
