Dynamic kinetic resolution of various α-amido-β-keto phosphonates via asymmetric hydrogenation proceeded efficiently to give the corresponding β-hydroxy-α-amido phosphonates in high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 99:1 syn/anti, 99.8% ee). The addition of catalytic amounts of CeCl(3)·7H(2)O is necessary to achieve
