P-Stereogenic organophosphorus compounds are a class of highly important compounds due to their potentials in asymmetric catalysis, both as ligands or catalysts. Here the authors report a regio-, E-, and enantioselective phosphinylation of allenylic acetates with racemic secondary phosphine oxides under bimetallic Pd/Cu catalysis.
