Optically active trivalent phosphorus acids esters: an approach by asymmetric synthesis
Abstract
The reaction of chiral PIII chlorides with achiral alcohols or thiols in the presence of optically active tertiary amines gives the hitherto unknown optically active trivalent phosphorus acids esters, the absolute configuration and optical purity of which was determined chemically by conversion into known phosphine oxides or phosphonodithioates.
