Enantioselective Coupling of Dienes and Phosphine Oxides
We report a Pd-catalyzed intermolecular hydrophosphinylation of 1,3-dienes to afford chiral allylic phosphine oxides. Commodity dienes and air stable phosphine oxides couple to generate organophosphorus building blocks with high enantio-and regiocontrol. This method constitutes the first asymmetric hydrophosphinylation of dienes.
