Reactions of (RP)- and (SP)-tert-butylphenylphosphinobromidates and tert-butylphenylthionophosphinochloridates with heteroatom nucleophiles; preparation of P-chiral binol phosphinates and related compounds

Reaction of (RP)- and (SP)-tert-butylphenylphosphinobromidates and tert-butylphenylthionophosphinochloridates with metallated phenol and BINOL alkoxides, thioalkoxides, amides and enolates leading with clean inversion at phosphorus to phosphinates, phosphinothiolates and phosphinoamidates, and the corresponding thionophosphorus compounds are described.
