“…Synthesis of ligands 2, (R a ,R a )-3 and (R a ,S a )-3.Starting from (R a )-or (S a )-BINOL, both enantiomers of N-Bn-NOBIN ((R a )-1 and (S a )-1)) were readily prepared following known methodology 36,37,54,55. With these enantiomers in hand, P*-monodentate diamidophosphite 2 as well as P,N-containing phosphites (R a ,R a )-3 and(R a ,S a )-3 were prepared in a single-step (Scheme 1).…”
