Asymmetric Reactions Catalyzed by Chiral Tertiary Phosphines
Yin Wei, Min Shi
Abstract
Chiral tertiary phosphines are versatile Lewis base catalysts capable of promoting a wide range of asymmetric reactions. In particular, the recent designed chiral phosphines based on the concept of bi‐/multifunctionality have been demonstrated to be effective catalysts for many types of asymmetric reactions such as (aza)‐MBH reaction/RC reaction, cycloaddition reaction, domino reaction, nucleophilic addition reaction, etc . This review summarizes the recent advances in this field and highlights the selected significant achievements.
