Enantioselective Phosphine Organocatalysis
Publication History
Publication Date:
22 December 2009 (online)
Abstract
The broad potential synthetic usefulness of phosphine-promoted reactions has stimulated many recent investigations on enantioselective variants of known reactions of this family, as well as the search for new, specifically designed, chiral phosphorus catalysts. This short overview summarizes the state of the art in this field and highlights the most significant achievements, with special emphasis on our recent work.
