New chiral 1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinanes bearing a free hydroxy group

New chiral 3-aryl-2-hydroxy-2-oxo-5-R-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinanes were obtained by a three-step one-pot synthesis, which included the preparation of imines from enantiopure (2R)-2-aminoalkan-1-ols, their phosphonylation and subsequent dealkylation of the P(O)OEt-fragment. The major diastereomers of the compounds obtained were found to have the (3R,5R)-configuration.
