Popis: The addition of dimethyl phosphite to N,N'-terephthalylidene-alkyl- (or aryl-) amines resulted in new tetramethyl 1,4-phenylene-bis-(N-alkylaminomethyl)-phosphonates in moderate yields. The stereochemical behaviour of these reactions was studied by NMR demonstrating, that the reactions lead to the formation of both possible diastereomeric forms in 1:1 up to 1:2 ratios. This was unexpected considering that previously investigated additions of diethyl, dibenzyl and diphenyl phosphites to terephthalaldimines were diastereoselective up to 100%. Attempts were made to find reasonable explanation for the phenomenon using semi-empirical and DFT calculations.
