A series of chiral C-stereogenic PCP and PCN ligand precursors were prepared in situ from inexpensive achiral starting materials via a simple catalytic asymmetric P–H addition reaction in good overall yields. This facile catalytic method of preparing the ligand backbones renders easy and economical...
