SYNTHESES D'OXYDES DE PHOSPHINES OPTIQUEMENT ACTIFS PAR LA TECHNIQUE DU TRANSFERT DE PHASE

Abstract
Asymmetric induction in phosphine oxides 5–8 synthesized from prochiral phosphonium compounds 1–4 is reported. When 1–4 react under PTC conditions using an optically active quaternary ammonium salt as a chiral catalyst, phosphine oxides 5–8 are obtained with 0–8% enantiomeric excess. Some chiral catalysts derived from N-methylephedrine, quinine, epiquinidine, cinchonine and cinchonidine containing a secondary hydroxyl group have been tested in this reaction. The influence of molecular structure of the catalyst, concentration, solvent and the reaction time on the stereoselectivity is discussed.
