Over the past decades, the design, synthesis of chiral diphosphines in the field of asymmetric catalysis has grown tremendously due to its widespread applications[1, 2]. The optical pure diphosphines containing the 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane backbone have widespread applications as bidentate...
