Abstract
Methods were developed for the resolution of several five- and six-membered phosphorus heterocycles (1c-e, 2, 4). It was investigated if the optical activity is preserved during the 1a→2→3→4 reaction sequence. Racemic and optically active 1b-e 3-phospholene 1-oxides were converted to the corresponding platinum-complexes (10b-e), which are potential catalysts.
