And the article was included in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry in 2010.Safety of (11bS)-4-Hydroxy-2,6-di(phenanthren-9-yl)dinaphtho[2,1-d:1′,2′-f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine 4-oxide This article mentions the following:
A general method for the one-pot, three-component Strecker reaction of ketones was developed using Bronsted acids as organocatalysts. A series of α-aminonitriles were obtained in good to excellent yields (79-99%). A preliminary extension to a catalytic enantioselective three-component Strecker reaction of ketones (up to 40% ee) is also described. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (11bS)-4-Hydroxy-2,6-di(phenanthren-9-yl)dinaphtho[2,1-d:1′,2′-f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine 4-oxide (cas: 1043567-32-3Safety of (11bS)-4-Hydroxy-2,6-di(phenanthren-9-yl)dinaphtho[2,1-d:1′,2′-f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine 4-oxide).
(11bS)-4-Hydroxy-2,6-di(phenanthren-9-yl)dinaphtho[2,1-d:1′,2′-f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine 4-oxide (cas: 1043567-32-3) belongs to chiral phosphine ligands. During the past two decades, tertiary phosphine catalysts have been applied extensively in a wide range of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond-forming transformations. Trivalent phosphorus compounds called phosphines have a tetrahedral electron-group geometry which makes them structurally analogous to amines.Safety of (11bS)-4-Hydroxy-2,6-di(phenanthren-9-yl)dinaphtho[2,1-d:1′,2′-f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine 4-oxide
