AbstractOrganophosphines are an important class of ligands widely used in organic chemistry. Although great progress has recently been made in the rapid construction of new phosphines through Rh- or Ru-catalyzed C–H bond functionalizations, synthetic access to more diverse phosphines remains a challenge. We describe an efficient process for the rhodium-catalyzed phosphorus(III)-directed hydroarylation of internal alkynes to generate various alkenylated and 2′,6′-dialkenylated biarylphosphines with high selectivity. A range of diverse alkynes and phosphines were effectively prepared with broad functional-group compatibility under the optimized conditions. In addition, the developed protocol can be extended to modify chiral phosphine ligands, providing enantioenriched alkenylated phosphines without erosion of the enantiomeric excess.

Visible light photoredox catalysis has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the development of new and valuable chemical transformations under mild conditions. Visible-light promoted enantioselective radical transformations of imines and iminium intermediates provide new opportunities for the asymmetric synthesis of amines and asymmetric β-functionalization of unsaturated carbonyl compounds. In this review, the advance in the catalytic asymmetric radical functionalization of imines, as well as iminium intermediates, are summarized. 1 Introduction 2 The enantioselective radical functionalization of imines 2.1 Asymmetric reduction 2.2 Asymmetric cyclization 2.3 Asymmetric addition 2.4 Asymmetric radical coupling 3 The enantioselective radical functionalization of iminium ions 3.1 Asymmetric radical alkylation 3.2 Asymmetric radical acylation 4 Conclusion
