Significance

The development of an enantio­selective synthesis of P-stereogenic alkynylphosphine oxides through a cationic rhodium(I)/modified-binap complex catalyzed [2+2+2] cyclo-addition of symmetrical dialkynylphosphine oxides with 1,6-diynes is reported. The corresponding products are obtained in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. For previous work, see: K. Tanaka, T. Osaka, K. Noguchi, M. Hirano Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 1307.
