Abstract
Chiral PCN pincer Pd(II) complexes were examined as enantioselective catalysts for the hydrophosphination of enones. Hydrophosphination of 2-alkenoylarenes with diphenylphosphine followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide afforded the corresponding chiral phosphine oxides in good yields with very good enantioselectivities.
