Typical procedure for the synthesis of P-Stereogenic 1,3,2-
Oxazaphospholidine-2-oxides: DMAP (7.3 mg, 0.06 mmol, 0.3
equiv.) and a prolinol of 2a or 2b (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) were
dissolved in DCM (2.0 mL) in ice-water bath. Triethylamine (84
uL, 0.6 mmol, 3.0 equiv.) and PhP(O)Cl2 (42 uL, 0.3 mmol, 1.5
equiv) was added successively. The mixture was allowed to
warm to 25 oC and stirred for 10 h. After completion of the
reaction, DCM (5 mL) was added to the reaction mixture,
which was washed with saturated aq. NaHCO3 for three times.
The organic layer were then dried over MgSO4, filtered, and
tri(o-toluyl)phosphine was added as internal standard. The
resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure.
The yield and the dr values were determined by 1H NMR.
Conclusions
In summary, we studied DMAP-catalyzed dynamic kinetic
resolution in the prolinol-induced formation of a P-chirogenic
centre during the synthesis of 1,3,2-oxazaphospholidine-2-
oxides 3 from phenylphosphonyl dichloride 1 and prolinols 2 as
a model reaction. The use of 30 mol% DMAP improved the
diatereoselectivity from 87:13 to 100:0 for the synthesis of 3a
and from 63:37 to 75:25 for the synthesis of 3b. Investigations
by NMR spectra and calculations revealed the formation of an
‘active phosphonyl’, rac-
key intermediate associated with 2a prior to the P-N bond
formation. The dynamic kinetic resolution of rac- through the
rapid consumption of (SP)- 2a, the reversible association of
with 2a and the interconversion between
determined the high diastereoselectivity in the Science Foundation of China (NSFC No. 21574126).

step, during which the P-N bonded intermediates C1 were
monitored by 1H NMR spectra. This study revealed for the first
time the mechanism of DMAP-catalyzed stereoselectivity in
the formation of P-N and P-O bonds at the achiral phosphorus
centre. These results would be valuable for the design of
organocatalyst to induce the formation of P-chirogenic centres
from achiral phosphorus precursors by direct asymmetric
reactions at the centres.

Experimental
General information
: All reagents were obtained from
commercial sources and were used without further
purification. The NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker
1
Avance III with CD2Cl2 or CDCl3 as solvent. The H NMR were
recorded at 400 MHz or 300 MHz with TMS as internal
standard. The 13C NMR spectra were recoded at 100 MHz with
solvent as internal standard. The 31P NMR were recorded at
162 MHz with tri(o-toluyl)phosphine as internal standard. All
coupling constants (J values) were reported in Hertz (Hz). High
resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were measured using a Bruker
Autoflex III MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. The purification of
products with column chromatography was performed on
silica gel with 100–200 mesh.

Calculation: All calculations were performed using Gaussian 09
package. Geometries were optimized using B3LYP density
functional with a basis set of 6-31G(d,p) in solvent phase
considering calculation cost and pratical possibility for the size
of investigated system. Solvent (DCM) effects were calculated
by using the PCM solvation model. All charge distributions
were calculated by Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis.
Computed structures are illustrated using CYLView and
nonessential hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity. All
