Abstract
Chiral salcyan complexes of aluminium are effective air and water tolerant enantioselective catalysts for the hydrophosphonylation of carbonyls. Compl exes of the form [(R,R)-salcyan]AlX (X = OH, OR) result in product enantios electivity changes (Delta ee) of ca. 100% compared to those returned in the presence of related complexes [(R,X)-salcyen]AlX even though they both pos sess a chiral ligand framework with the same absolute stercochemistry.
