Km. Pietrusiewicz et al., OPTICALLY-ACTIVE PHOSPHINE OXIDES .18. SYNTHESIS OF ENANTIOMERICALLY PURE STYRYL AND DIENYL PHOSPHINE OXIDES VIA PD-CATALYZED HECK COUPLINGREACTION, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 4(10), 1993, pp. 2143-2146
(S)-Methylphenylvinylphosphine oxide (1) undergoes facile Pd-catalyzed
coupling with functionalized aryl and vinyl halides to provide new en
antiomerically pure styryl and dienyl oxides including also the corres
ponding symmetrical and nonsymmetrical bisphosphine derivatives.
