Mj. Cain et al., MAPPING THE STEREOCHEMICAL COURSE OF CARBONYL PHOSPHONYLATION VIA CHIRAL PHOSPHORODIAMIDITES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(46), 1994, pp. 8671-8674
The asymmetric phosphonylation of aldehydes via chiral phosphorodiamid
ites has been examined as a function of the steric profile of the chir
al auxiliary employed. Comparison of N-Me and N-Pr-i-(1R,2S)-ephedrine
auxiliaries reveals that the latter results in a consistently stronge
r preference for (S-P,S-C) product stereochemistry than the former.
