Abstract
A convenient multigram scale method has been developed for preparation of enantiomerically-pure (Rp)- and (Sp)-tertiary phosphine oxides including allyl- and but-2-enyl-tert-butylphenylphosphine oxides wherein (Rp)- and (Sp)-tert-butyl-phenylphosphinothioic acids are converted into (Rp)- and (Sp)-tert-butylphenylphosphine oxides by ultrasound irradiation in the presence of Raney-Ni at room temperature and the secondary phosphine oxides then metalated and treated with alkyl halides.
