Synthesis and Reactivity of the New Chiral Silylphosphite Esters {(+)-O, O-Dimethyl-L-tartrate}POSiR3(R3= Ph3,tBuMe2, Et3)

Abstract
The new, chiral silylphosphite compounds (O,O-dimethyl-L-tartrato)POSiR3, (R3 = Ph3, tBuMe2, Et3) have been synthesised and their activity as asymmetric phosphonylating reagents investigated.
