Phosphonates go chiral : The organocatalytic enantioselective reaction of α‐ketoesters with phosphites using cinchona alkaloids and Na 2 CO 3 has afforded α‐phosphonyloxy esters with high enantioselectivities (see scheme). This process allows the formation of both enantiomers of the product. A catalyst loading of as low as 2 mol % does not result in a significant decrease of the enantioselectivity.
