Abstract

Abstract Tris (dimethylamino) phosphine was found to be a suitable thiophilic reagent which converts optically active alkylthio (alkylseleno) phosphonium salts into chiral tertiary phosphines and phosphinites with a high stereoselectivity. The first synthesis of optically active thiophosphinites from bis (alkylthio) phosphonium salts and tris (dimethylamino) phosphine is also reported.
