Abstract

The synthesis and application of three examples of a new class of chiral (C 2) atropisomeric diphosphines characterized by two interconnected five-membered heteroaromatic rings, with hindered rotation around the interanular bond, are described. Optically pure (+)-and (-)- 2, 2'-bis (diphenylphosphino)-4, 4', 6, 6'-tetramethyl-3, 3'-bibenzo [b] thiophene (tetraMe- bitianp)(1a) and the parent unsubstituted system (+)-and (-)-bitianp (1b) were synthesized. ...
