Abstract
Abstract The catalytic asymmetric addition of diphenylphosphine oxide to cyclic imines is reported for the first time. The addition, catalyzed by a heterobimetallic lanthanoid complex, gives the corresponding amino phosphine oxide products in good to excellent yields and up to 93% ee. The preliminary result of the application of one of these products as a chiral ligand is also described.
