First general methods toward aldehyde enolphosphates

► Rapid, simple and efficient synthetic pathway to 1-alkenyldiphosphates. ► Glucidic aldehyde enolphosphates' synthesis by hydroalumination-phosphorylation. ► α-Iodoaldehydes are particularly suitable substrates for the Perkow reaction. ► Weinreb's reagent is efficient to prepare α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. ► Aldehyde enolphosphate as a good phosphoenolpyruvate analogue.
