Abstract
In this work, we describe an efficient and modular method for enantiodivergent accessing P(V)-stereogenic molecules by utilizing the catalytic atroposelective Catellani-type C-H arylation/desymmetric intramolecular N-arylation cascade reaction. The enantioselectivity of this protocol was proved to be tuned by the polarity of the solvent, thus providing a wide range of both chiral P(V)-stereogenic enantiomers in moderate to good yields with good to excellent enantiomeric excesses. Noteworthy is that the strategy developed herein represents an unprecedented example of solvent-dictated inversion of the enantioselectivity of P(V)-stereogenic compounds.
