Abstract: | The antipodes of 1-aryl-, 1-alkyl- and 1-alkoxy-3-methyl-3-phospholene 1-oxides 1a–h and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-3-phospholene 1-sulfide 1i were separated in good yields and high enantiomeric excesses (up to >99% ee) by resolution via formation of diastereomeric complexes with either (?)-(4R,5R)-4,5-bis(diphenylhydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyldioxolane 2 (TADDOL) or (?)-(2R,3R)- , , ′, ′-tetraphenyl-1,4-dioxaspiro4.5]decan-2,3-dimethanol 3. The stereostructure of the supramolecular formations and the absolute configurations of the 3-phospholene oxides 1a, 1e and 1f were elucidated by single crystal X-ray crystallography. CD spectroscopy was also useful in determining the absolute configurations of some phospholene oxides 1b, 1c, 1g and 1h. |
