Abstract:SHORT COMMUNICATIONSPhosphine oxides and phosphines having a chiral phosphorus atom, including optically active compounds, are successfully used as ligands for metalcomplex catalysts in organic and asymmetric synthesis [1][2][3]; some derivatives are known as pesticides and biologically active substances [4]. However, more extensive application of these compounds is seriously limited due to complexity of methods for the preparation of phosphine oxides and phosphines with three different substituents, especiall… Show more
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.
