Abstract

Owning to their structure diversity,organophosphorus compounds play an outstanding role in the asymmetric tranformations.They have been successfully employed as chiral ligand,chiral catalyst,chiral auxiliary,additive,substrate as well as chiral reagent in different type of asymmetric reactions.This account outlines our efforts on the application of organophosphorus compounds in some asymmetric reactions during the past seveval years,such as silylcyanation of aldehydes,desymmetrization of meso epoxide,Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indole,Michael addition to nitroolefins,aza-Henry reaction,aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction,borane reduction of prochiral ketones.
