“…It is known that the deoxygenation with trichlorosilane or with a mixture of trichlorosilane and pyridine takes place with retention of the P-asymmetric center, so the enantiomeric excess of the optically active borane-and platinum complexes (27* or 28*) was the same, as that in the corresponding starting materials, 3-phospholene oxides ((R)-or (S)-17a-i). The stereostructures of the optically active 3-phospholene platinum complexes (28*) were evaluated by high-level quantum chemical methods [66,73,78,81,82]. Similarly to the 3-phospholene oxides (17a-i), the racemic phenyl-and propyl-phospholane oxides (29a-c), the 5-methyl-4-chloro-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophosphine oxide (29d) and the 4-dichloromethylene-3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl- 1,4-dihydrophosphinine oxide (29e) were also converted to the corresponding borane-and cis-platinum complexes (31 and 32) (Scheme 15) [66,78,81].…”
