title: Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of diarylphosphines to enones toward the synthesis of chiral phosphines.
abstract: An asymmetric addition of diarylphosphines to beta-substituted enones under mild conditions using a chiral pincer-palladium catalyst has been developed for the synthesis of chiral phosphines with excellent stereoselectivity (up to 99% ee).
