BOM-Phosphinite as an Electrophilic P-Stereogenic Transfer Reagent for the Synthesis of Bulky Phosphines: Synthesis of tert-Butyl(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)BisP*

BOM-tert-butylmethylphosphinite borane is an efficient electrophilic P-stereogenic transfer reagent for the synthesis of bulky tertiary phosphines. The novel methodology relies on a one-pot deprotection/substitution trivalent phosphinite that takes place with very high stereospecificity. potential this strategy demonstrated wide scope phosphines in excellent enantiomeric excess. was applied to BisP* ligand analogue.
