Desymmetrization of meso-hydrobenzoin using chiral, nucleophilic phosphine catalysts.

J. Org. Chem. 69(4) , 1389-92, (2004)

The desymmetrization of meso-hydrobenzoin is described using chiral phosphine catalysts 8b-d and 9-11. The best enantioselectivity at room temperature was obtained with the newly synthesized phospholane 8c and benzoic anhydride, but the reaction is very slow....
