Methods for the synthesis of chiral organophosphorus Methods for the synthesis of chiral organophosphorus compounds based on natural optically active compounds compounds based on natural optically active compounds (hydroxy acids, amino acids and their derivatives, mono-and (hydroxy acids, amino acids and their derivatives, mono-and disaccharides, mono-and diterpenoids, steroids) are discussed. disaccharides, mono-and diterpenoids, steroids) are discussed. Particular attention is given to the synthesis of bisphosphines and Particular attention is given to the synthesis of bisphosphines and bisphosphinites. These compounds serve as ligands for transition bisphosphinites. These compounds serve as ligands for transition metal complexes, which catalyse asymmetric hydrogenation. Data metal complexes, which catalyse asymmetric hydrogenation. Data on the enantioselectivity of hydrogenation of unsaturated precur-on the enantioselectivity of hydrogenation of unsaturated precursors of amino acids and unsaturated prochiral acids as well as on sors of amino acids and unsaturated prochiral acids as well as on the enantioselectivity of hydrosilylation of ketones are surveyed. the enantioselectivity of hydrosilylation of ketones are surveyed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
