Correction to 'Generation of Chiral Phosphonium Dialkyl Phosphite as a Highly Reactive P-Nucleophile: Application to Asymmetric Hydrophosphonylation of Aldehydes'

摘要

Page 3837 and Supporting Information, pages S1 and S2. The absolute configurations of α-hydroxyphosphonates 4 were assigned incorrectly. The actual configurations are determined to be R. We assigned the absolute configuration of 4 (R~1 = Ph) to be S on the basis of the comparison of the HPLC retention time obtained using chiral column Daicel Chiralpak AD-H (hexane/IPA) to that reported in the literature,1 while we consistendy used Chiralpak AS-H to determine the enantiomeric excesses of 4. However, we found that the optical rotation of 4 (R~1 = Ph) is opposite to the literature value for the (S)-isomer.~2 The correction above does not affect the conclusion of the original article. We are grateful to Dr. Luis Simón and Prof. Robert S. Paton for their insights.~3
