Highly efficient catalyst free methods for the synthesis of α-hydroxy-β-oxo phosphonates (HOP) and α-oxoesters (OE) have been described for the first time. The existence of a 2-oxo group in α-oxoaldehydes (OA) was a key factor in promoting the reaction of the tervalent phosphite form towards activated aldehydes (OA) in the synthesis of HOP.
