title: P-Stereogenic PCP pincer-Pd complexes: synthesis and application in asymmetric addition of diarylphosphines to nitroalkenes.
abstract: Novel P-stereogenic PCP pincer-Pd complexes were designed and prepared in short steps from optically pure tert-butylmethylphosphine-borane. These optically active Pd-complexes were successfully applied in asymmetric addition of diarylphosphines to nitroalkenes with high yields and good enantioselectivity.
