The invention provides a method for synthesizing a
phenol derivative having a phosphorous chiral center and containing a (Rp)-2-chiral
phosphinate substituent in a high
stereoselectivity manner. According to the method, with small
organic molecules as a catalyst and a (Rp)-2-chiral
phosphinate compound containing P-H bonds, and
phenol as reaction substrates, an
organic solvent is added into a
reaction system. The method has the advantages that the catalyst is low in cost and easy to obtain;
reaction conditions are mild, safe and reliable; the
stereoselectivity of the obtained target product is close to 100 percent and the yield of the obtained target product is up to 90 percent. According to the method provided by the invention, the defects of poor stereoscopic enantioselectivity, fussy reaction steps, low yield and the like of an organic
phosphine compound containing the phosphorous chiral center, which is synthesized by adopting a traditional method, are overcome, and the method has a favorable industrial prospect. The invention further provides the
phenol derivative having the phosphorous chiral center and containing the (Rp)-2-chiral
phosphine substituent.
