LemPhos – New P-Chiral Phospholene Core Based Ligand

In honor of the memory of Stanisław Lem (1921–2006), inspiring science-fiction writer.

Abstract

Synthesis and modifications of new chiral phospholene-based scaffolds are described. The construction of base molecules was accomplished via McCormack synthesis. Separation of single P-epimers was accomplished with column chromatography on silica gel.

Key words

phosphines - phospholenes - ligands - nopadiene - asymmetric reactions
