This chapter shows some of the most important achievements in the area of organophosphorus compounds containing three P–O bonds (phosphates), two P–O and one P–C bonds (phosphonates) as well as one P–O and two P–C bonds (phosphinates), in addition to the phosphoryl group P=O. Each of the main sections has been divided in the same way, covering synthesis, reactions and biological aspects. The chiral phosphoric acids have been applied successfully, mainly as catalysts, to afford high chemical yields and excellent stereoselectivities in various organic reactions.
