title: Nucleophilic Chiral Phosphines: Powerful and Versatile Catalysts for Asymmetric Annulations.
abstract: Recent advances in chiral-phosphine-catalyzed asymmetric annulation reactions; including annulations of allenes, alkynes, Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates, and ketenes; and their applications in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and natural products are reviewed.
