Both enantiomers of tert-butylmethylphosphine–borane have been used for the synthesis of P-chiral diphosphines and/or their borane complexes. The enantiopure borane complex of 1,2-bis(tert-butylmethylphosphino)ethane (t-Bu-BisP∗) was prepared in high yield from the secondary phosphine–borane and 1,2-dichloroethane. A mono-chelated Rh-complex of t-Bu-MiniPHOS was prepared and its catalytic activity...
