Resumen: The Diels-Alder reaction of 1-aminovinylphosphonate esters has been studied for the first time as a suitable procedure leading to quaternary carbocyclic a-aminophosphonates. The reaction is influenced by steric effects at the phosphonate functionality (bulky groups hinder the reaction) and electronic effects at the amino group (electron-withdrawing substituents increase the reaction rate). The exo/endo ratio is constant, and no influence of the solvent is observed. The experimental results have been rationalized by DFT methods.
