Fe3O4@MgO nanoparticles as an efficient recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of phosphoroamidates via the Atherton–Todd reaction

A simple and efficient method is presented for the synthesis of phosphoroamidates in moderate to good yield via the Atherton–Todd coupling of primary amines with H-dialkyl phosphites using Fe3O4@MgO nanoparticles as a recyclable catalyst.
