title: Asymmetric synthesis of quaternary alpha-amino phosphonates using sulfinimines.
abstract: The addition of lithium diethylphosphonate to enantiopure ketosulfinimines is highly diastereoselective (>95%), affording the first examples of quaternary alpha-alkyl alpha-amino (arylmethyl)phosphonates.
