Over the past decades, phase-transfer catalysis (PTC), generally based on numerous chiral quaternary ammonium salts, has been recognized as a powerful and versatile tool for organic synthesis in both industry and academia. In sharp contrast, PTC involving chiral phosphonium salts as the catalysts is insufficiently developed. Recently, our group realized the first enantioselective aza-Darzens reaction for preparing tri- and tetrasubstituted aziridine derivatives under bifunctional phosphonium salt catalysis. This article briefly discusses the recent development in asymmetric reactions (mainly including nucleophilic additions and cyclizations) promoted by chiral quaternary phosphonium salt catalysts. We expect that more catalytic asymmetric reactions will be developed on the basis of such new phase-transfer catalytic systems in the near future.

Several chiral sulfoxides with a lactam hydrogen-bonding site were prepared and their photochemical behavior was studied in the presence of xanthone and thioxanthone sensitizers. While acyclic sulfoxides showed only decomposition, chiral benzothiazinone-1-oxides with a stereogenic sulfur atom underwent a stereomutation upon irradiation at λ = 366 nm in the presence of catalytic quantities of a xanthone sensitizer. A chiral xanthone with a 1,5,7-trimethyl-3-azabicyclo-[3.3.1]nonan-2-one backbone was employed in catalytic quantities (5 mol%) to achieve a deracemization reaction of racemic benzothiazinone-1-oxides in acetonitrile solution. Five substrates could be successfully deracemized in good yields and with up to 55% ee.
