Synthesis of α-Substituted β-Amidophosphines by Diastereoselective Alkylation. A New Access to Chiral Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis

Abstract
Chiral β-amidophosphine boranes 7a−f can be diastereoselectively alkylated, using O-protected amino-alcohols as chiral inducers, to furnish α-substituted β-amidophosphine boranes 8a−f and 9−12 with up to 72% diastereoisomeric excess. Selective deprotection afforded optically pure carboxylic derivative 13 which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of various potential chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis.
