Abstract:This review presents the use of cyclic tri-and pentavalent amidoesters and diamides with a stereogenic phosphorus as chiral stoichiometric auxiliaries in asymmetric synthesis. It shows that these compounds are especially useful for the preparation of selected acyclic enantiomerically (diastereomerically) pure (or enriched) tricoordinated-trivalent and tetracoordinated-pentavalent derivatives and as precursors of stereogenic phosphorus-containing carbanions. Their utility in a few other asymmetric reactions is … 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.
