  • Method for enantioselective synthesis of phosphorus-stereogenic phosphines
    Patent number: 8193392
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing an enantioenriched phosphorus-stereogenic, tertiary phosphine. Secondary phosphines are contacted with an alkyl halide and base in the presence of a chiral metal catalyst thereby producing the enantioenriched phosphorus-stereogenic, tertiary phosphine for subsequent use in homogeneous catalysis reactions.
