Abstract
Addition reaction to alkynes is an efficient strategy for constructing valuable alkenyl
compounds. However, the elusive regioselectivity has been a persistent challenge.
In the context of hydrophosphination reaction which could afford valuable P-stereogenic phosphines, the control of enantioselectivity as well as regioselectivity
were especially tricky. Here, we highlighted our recent work on the nickel-catalyzed
regio- and enantioselective hydrophosphination of unactivated alkynes with in situ generated secondary phosphines.
