title: Highly diastereoselective synthesis of anti-gamma-N-benzylamino-beta-hydroxyphosphonates.
abstract: The reduction of gamma-N-benzylamino-beta-ketophosphonates derived from readily available amino acids can be carried out stereoselectively with Zn(BH(4))(2) at -78 degrees C to produce the anti-gamma-amino-beta-hydroxyphosphonates.
