title: Direct synthesis of chiral tertiary diphosphines via Pd(II)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrophosphination of dienones.
abstract: A highly diastereo- and enantioselective Pd(II)-catalyzed hydrophosphination of dienones with Ph(2)PH involving formation of double C*-P bonds has been developed, providing a series of chiral tertiary diphosphines (chiral PCP pincer ligands) in high yields. A catalytic cycle for the reaction was proposed.
