Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0008-6215(92)84158-O

1,3-Bisphosphines and 1,3-phosphine sulfides have been prepared from 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose in view of their application as bidentate ligands in transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation.Reaction of 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-2-O-(p-toluenesulfony
