Synthesis of chiral aminophosphines from chiral aminoalcohols via cyclic sulfamidates

J Org Chem. 2010 Feb 5;75(3):937-40. doi: 10.1021/jo902302c.

Abstract

Protic aminophosphines with multiple chiral centers were synthesized in good yields and high purity by the nucleophilic ring-opening of N-protected cyclic sulfamidates with metal phosphides, followed by hydrolysis and deprotection. This synthetic approach is clean, scalable, and high yielding. The method provides an efficient alternative route for the synthesis of chiral aminophosphines.
