A new and convenient procedure has been developed for the one-pot synthesis of different types of primary 1-aminophosphonates from aldehydes/ketones, HMDS and diethyl phosphite using I2 as an inexpensive, non-toxic, non-metallic and readily available catalyst. These reactions proceeded under solvent-free conditions and produced the desired products in high yields.
