The hallmark of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is the initial nucleophilic addition of a
phosphine to an electrophilic starting material, producing a reactive zwitterionic …

Asymmetric phosphine catalysis showcasing remarkable progress over the past two
decades has emerged as a key synthetic platform for the creation of molecular frameworks …

Allenes are the simplest class of cumulenes, with two contiguous C C bonds, and show
unique physical and chemical properties. These features make allenes particularly attractive …

The stereocontrolled construction of chiral carbo-and heterocycles is a topic of paramount
importance in modern organic synthesis, driven by the predominance of chiral mono-and …

Conspectus Even though seminal reports on phosphine catalysis appeared in the 1960s, in
the last few decades of the past century trivalent phosphines were viewed primarily as useful …

Organophosphine catalysis of allenoates has doubtlessly been one of the most ideal and
powerful synthetic strategies for the generation of highly functionalized carbo-/hetero-cycle …

This review discusses the tertiary phosphines possessing various chiral skeletons that have
been used in asymmetric nucleophilic organocatalytic reactions, including annulations of …

In the last few years, the research area of chiral β-aminophosphines capable of promoting a
wide range of diverse organic transformations has attracted more attention. Their derivatives …

A novel organocatalytic asymmetric [3+ 2] cycloaddition reaction between
methyleneindolinones and allylic compounds yielding complex spirocyclopentaneoxindoles …

The first highly enantioselective phosphine‐catalyzed formal [4+ 4] annulation has been
developed. In the presence of amino‐acid‐derived phosphines, the unprecedented [4+ 4] …
