A new series of P*‐chiral diamidophosphites with 1, 3, 2‐diazaphospholidine rings, based
on (Sa)‐or (Ra)‐BINOL and their easily accessible derivatives, has been synthesized for the …

The two enantiomers of chiral phosphonate 4-phenyldinaphtho [2, 1-d: 1′, 2′-f][1, 3, 2]
dioxaphosphepine 4-oxide, O= PPh (BINOL), were synthesized from the proper 1, 1′-bi-2 …

A Lewis acid mediated electrophilic cyanation of 2, 2′-biphenols with a
trifluoromethanesulfonyl (Tf) protecting group is reported. The cyanation reactions with less …

Development of new methodology for quick access to important molecular motifs is a
growing field of research in synthetic organic chemistry. In this aspect, N-heterocyclic …
