Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2021 Dec 20;60(52):27288-27292. doi: 10.1002/anie.202112285. Epub 2021 Nov 16.

Abstract

A Pd-catalyzed hydrophosphinylation of alkyl and aryl-oxyallenes with phosphine oxides has been developed for the efficient and rapid construction of a family of chiral allylic phosphine oxides with a diverse range of functional groups. This methodology was further applied in the facile construction of chiral 2H-chromene and later stage functionalization of cholesterol.

Keywords: allene; allylic compound; hydrophosphinylation; palladium; synthetic method.
