reactions,(2-hydroxybenzyl) diphenylphosphine oxide, has been developed and used in
catalytic inversion of enantiopure secondary alcohols (21 examples, up to 97% yield and
98% ee) with 2-nitrobenzoic and 2, 4-dinitrobenzoic acids. The use in the reaction of
alternative pronucleophiles has also been explored (8 successful and 3 unsuccessful
examples). The functional resin shows high recyclability (10 cycles, 30 days operation) and …
