METHOD FOR INCREASING THE ENANTIOMERIC EXCESS OF CHIRAL PHOSPHINE OXIDES, SULPHIDES, IMIDES AND BORANES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the enantiomeric excess of a chiral phosphine oxide, a chiral phosphine sulphide, a chiral phosphine-borane and a chiral phosphine imide said method comprising the steps of: (a) contacting said chiral phosphine oxide, sulphide, imide or borane with a solvent to form a slurry; (b) partitioning the phosphine oxide, sulphide, imide or borane either into the solvent or as an insoluble product; and (c) optionally, isolating the partitioned phosphine oxide, sulphide, imide or borane.
