Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroalkoxylation and hydrosulfenylation of diphenylphosphinylallenes

Abstract

The rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric hydroalkoxylation and hydrosulfenylation of diphenylphosphinylallenes gave chiral allylic phosphine oxides substituted with vinyl ether and thioether moieties in high yields with high enantioselectivities.
