• University, Leninskie Gory, 1, 119991, Mosсow, Russian Federation 10.3762/bjoc.16.174 Abstract A new synthetic strategy toward nonracemic phosphoryl-substituted pyrrolidines and tetrahydropyranes with three and five contiguous stereocenters is presented. Readily available β-keto phosphonates react with

• ; tetrahydropyranes; Introduction Сhiral phosphonates [1][2] and phosphoryl-substituted heterocycles [2][3][4] have received significant attention in recent years due to their wide range of biological activity. For example, SF-2312 (1) is a natural antibiotic – an enolase inhibitor produced by the actinomycete

• heterocycles. The present work reports on the synthesis of nonracemic phosphoryl-substituted pyrrolidines and tetrahydropyranes via Ni(II)-catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition of β-keto phosphonates to conjugated nitroolefins.
