Significance

A new family of P-chiral P,π-hybrid ligands has been synthesized from a chiral dihy­drobenzooxaphosphole core (Z. S. Han et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 2474). These newly developed ligands show a very high level of enantiocontrol in the rhodium-catalyzed addition of aryl boronic acids to tosyl imines.

Comment

The synthesis of the ligands with strong electron-withdrawing substituents (like CF3) failed by the alkylation with cinnamyl de­rivatives, alternatively an allylation and subsequent metathesis strategy was employed. Steric and electronic properties were controlled easily by varying the substituents on the phosphorus atom and on the π-system.
