Abstract
An asymmetric homocoupling of ortho-(iodo)arylphosphine oxides and ortho-(iodo)arylphosphonates provides highly enantioenriched axially chiral bisphosphine oxides and bisphosphonates without need for optical resolution. These products are readily converted to biaryl bisphosphines. The conditions have also proven effective for asymmetric dimerization of non-phosphorus-containing aryl halides.
