A general, highly efficient methodology for obtaining both syn and anti α-hydroxyphosphine oxides by reduction of the corresponding α-ketophosphine oxides is described. The nature of the Lewis acid was found to be pivotal in determining the outcome of these reactions. Strongly chelating TiCl4 led to the anti isomer in high diastereoisomeric excess in noncoordinating solvents (CH2Cl2) at -78°C with BH3/py as reducing agent, while nonchelating CeCl3 gave a high excess of the syn isomer in coordinating solvents (THF) at the same temperature with LiBH4 as reducing agent. In the latter case, CeCl3 is essential in achieving high yields and stereoselectivity, since it allows the reaction to be performed at low temperatures. Otherwise, higher temperatures (0 °C) are required, which lower both yields and selectivities. Moreover, each step of the protocol for the synthesis of stereodefined disubstituted olefins from alkylphosphine oxides (Warren's modification of the Homer procedure) has been optimized, and the optimized procedure has been applied to the synthesis of muscalure, the pheromone of the domestic fly.

The α-lithiated diphenylphosphine oxides 3 react with methyl iodide to give the phosphine oxides 4 and 5 in a ratio 3-4:1.The corresponding reaction with aldehydes gives all four diastereomeric alcohols 7-10, which are not suitable for the synthesis of allylsilanes by a Wittig-Horner reaction.The β-dimethyl(phenyl)silyl enolates 13-15 and 25-28 react with aldehydes to give aldol products with high diastereoselectivity.The benzyl and allyl ester groups can be cleaved from these aldols to give the acids 16-18 and 29-32.The acids, in turn, can be induced to undergo dec arboxylative elimination stereospecifically either in a syn or an anti sense to give the allylsilanes 19, 20, 23, 24, 33, 34 and 39-41.A similar series of reactions can be carried out with the β-trimethylsilyl enolates 45 and 46 giving the allylsilanes 49, 50, 53 and 54.

Addition of the lithium derivatives of phosphine oxides Ph2P(O)CH2R1 to aldehydes gives erythro adducts (11) with good stereoselectivity.Reduction of α-diphenylphosphinoyl ketones (12) gives threo adducts (11) with even better stereoselectivity.Purification by flash chromatography and/or crystallisation followed by elimination of Ph2PO2 gives pure Z- or E-alkenes with high material conversion.Explanations are offered for the stereoselectivities, conditions defined for full stereochemical control, and guidelines suggested for approaches to a given alkene.
