Pass the P : Catalytic direct aldol addition of α‐hydroxy trialkyl phosphonacetates to aldehydes affords α‐hydroxy‐β‐phosphonyloxy ester products (see scheme). The fully substituted glycolate enolate intermediate is generated in situ under mild conditions by a [1,2] phosphonate–phosphate rearrangement. High enantioselectivity and dramatic enhancement of reaction diastereocontrol is realized by the application of chiral iminophosphorane catalysts.
