Procedure

1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine (41.2 mL, 329 mmol) was added at room temperature to a solution of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-alpha-phophonoglycine trimethyl ester (114.1 g, 344 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (800 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min and cooled to −78° C. A solution 3,4-dinitro-benzaldehyde (61.4 g, 313 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) was slowly added via cannula. The resulting mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 h and then allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. Solvents were removed in vacuo, and the yellow residue was dissolved in 4.5 L of ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with 1.5 L of 1N sulfuric acid, water twice, brine and dried over sodium sulfate. After filtration, solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate (20 g crude product/100 mL of ethyl acetate). The yellow crystals were collected and further purified by chromatography on silica gel using methylene chloride as eluent. The title compound was obtained a s yellow crystals (77%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ 7.85 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.74 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (dd, J=8.5, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.35–7.34 (m, 3H), 7.34 (br s, 2H), 7.23 (s, 1H), 6.95 (br s, 1H), 5.07 (s, 2H), 3.90 (s, 3H).
