Abstract

Cinchona alkaloids serve as effective chiral bases in the enantioselective rearrangement of 3-phospholene epoxide. The reaction results in the formation of a P, C-chirogenic 3-hydroxy-2-phospholene derivative with up to 52% e.e. A stereochemical course for the epoxide rearrangement involving anti-β-proton abstraction is implied.
