14. Abramov-type and silylphosphonylation reactions of limited simple ketones using high toxic trialkyl phosphite and expensive trimethylsilyl dialkyl phosphite were also efficient. However, formation of at least 1 equivalent of by-product accompanied the synthesis of the quaternary a-hydroxy phosphonate; a) D. A. Evans, K. M. Hurst, J. M. Takacs, J. Am. Chem.

58. a) It was suspected that the great difference on the reactivity of the reaction for different Lewis acids was mostly dependent on the possible phosphonate-phosphite equilibrium; The Lewis acid activates both the dimethyl phosphite and ketone, while the activation of dimethyl phosphite is more important for the hydrophosphonylation of ketone in this paper. Although the precise order of different Lewis acids for the activation of dimethyl phosphite was hard to determine owing to the difficult observation of the metallo-phosphite, it was believed that basic counterions and a suitable acidity of the Lewis acid were beneficical for the activation of dimethyl phosphite,

62. e) Using 4-methoxybenzoic acid as the additive, the enantioselectivity of the reaction could be further increased to 65% ee albeit with a reduced reactivity.

65. a) Half of the products were unknown previously, and only six products were reported to be prepared via hydrophosphonylation of ketones with moderate to good yields. The quaternary α-hydroxy phosphonates are easily hydrolyzed to the corresponding phosphonic acids, see:
