Abstract
Sequential treatment of racemic phosphine oxides with oxalyl chloride and chiral non-racemic alcohol generates the same ratios of diastereomeric alkoxyphosphonium salts obtained in the corresponding asymmetric Appel process, strongly implicating the intermediate chlorophosphonium salt in the stereoselecting step. Subsequent reduction allows a novel synthesis of enantioenriched P-stereogenic phosphines-phosphine boranes.
