Abstract

In this account, we summarize our recent work on the preparation of optically active H-phosphinates and their stereospecific transformations, including regio- and stereospecific additions, nucleophilic substitutions with organolithiums and Grignard reagents, halogenation with copper(II) chloride, and dehydrogenative couplings with heteroatom–hydrogen bonds. These reactions provide efficient ways for the synthesis of valuable, optically active, P-stereogenic, organophosphorus compounds from relatively easily prepared, enantiomerically pure, menthyl hydrogen phosphinates. The applications of optically active H-phosphinates in catalytic asymmetric hydrogenations are also discussed.

Coincidentally, Buono and co-workers also reported the same reaction:

Provided they are not for commercial purposes, any questions on the preparation of (R _P)-1c are welcome. Recently, Berger and Montchamp reported a process for the preparation of optically active (–)-MenOPH(O)CH₂OH, and they showed that a number of P-stereogenic compounds can be obtained from this precursor; see:

11b Berger O, Montchamp J.-L. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013; 52: 11377

Unfortunately, however, their statement that (R _P)-1c is a difficult compound to prepare is incorrect. They also extended their studies by using P-stereogenic compounds as starting materials; see
