Enantioselective addition of diphenylphosphine to 3-methyl-4-nitro-5-alkenylisoxazoles

An enantioselective Michael addition reaction of diphenylphosphine to substituted alkenylisoxazoles has been developed. The reaction proceeds efficiently under mild conditions with high yields (up to 99%) and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 92%) thus providing a hitherto unavailabl...

Description
Summary:An enantioselective Michael addition reaction of diphenylphosphine to substituted alkenylisoxazoles has been developed. The reaction proceeds efficiently under mild conditions with high yields (up to 99%) and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 92%) thus providing a hitherto unavailable direct access to a library of chiral tertiary phosphine-functionalized isoxazoles.
