Abstract
Optically active butyl(ortho-methoxyphenyl)phenylphosphine oxide is used to create three new chiral carbon atoms as a carbon framework is built up by stereoselective electrophilic attack on a cyclic allylic phosphine oxide. Elimination of the chiral auxiliary in a Horner-Wittig reaction gives the title compounds.
