Abstract

A simple, efficient, and general method has been developed for the synthesis of carbamoyl and thiocarbamoyl phosphonic esters using CaCl2 as an efficient Lewis base catalyst. Carbamoyl and thiocarbamoyl phosphonic esters were obtained in good yield (37%–65%) and purity under mild conditions by the reaction of diethyl phosphite with isocyanates and isothiocyanates in the presence of CaCl2. This method is easy, rapid, and good-yielding reaction for the synthesis of carbamoyl and thiocarbamoyl phosphonic esters. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
