J. Clayden et al., STEREOCHEMICAL CONTROL (E Z AND SYN ANTI) BY THE DIPHENYLPHOSPHINOYL GROUP IN THE SYNTHESIS OF ALLYLIC ALCOHOLS BY ALLYLIC REARRANGEMENT AND BY 1,4-DIASTEREOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF ENONES/, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (16), 1993, pp. 1849-1859
Allylic rearrangement of substitued 2-hydroxyalk-3-en-1-yl(diphenyl)ph
osphine oxides to 4-hydroxyalk-2-en-1-yl(diphenyl)phosphine oxides can
be performed with total regio- and reasonable stereochemical control.
Alternatively, the reduction of substituted 4-diphenylphosphinoylbut-
2-en-1-ones shows remarkable 1,4-diastereoselectivity. All these react
ions are directed by the diphenylphosphinoyl (Ph2PO) group.
