Chiral hybrid phosphine- N-heterocyclic carbenes form a unique class of bidentate ligands which finds extensive uses as privileged ligands in homogeneous transition metal catalysis. The current methodologies associated with their syntheses suffer from significant drawbacks and the diversity of the s...
