S. Kobayashi et al., Asymmetric synthesis of proline and pipecolic acid phosphorous analogues using enantioselective deprotonation-carboxylation reactions, TETRAHEDR L, 42(41), 2001, pp. 7303-7306
The first synthesis of an optically active 1-phenylphospholane-2-carboxylic
acid-borane complex and a 1-phenylphosphorinane-2-carboxylic acid-borane c
omplex, which are proline and pipecolic acid phosphorous analogues, has bee
n accomplished, The key to the synthesis is the enantioselective deprotonat
ion accompanied with diastereoselective carboxylation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sc
