42. The notations of the syn and anti diastereomers are according to the methylene substituent of the pyrrolidine ring with respect to the exocyclic aryl group. If they are at the same side of the five-membered phosphorus-containing ring, we call it a syn diastereomer; otherwise, it is an anti diastereomer. a) P. Cros, G. Buono, G. Peiffer, D. Denis, A.

45. -3. A total of 2155 reflections were collected at T = 298 K. The standards were measured after every 655 reflections. Among the first 20 pairs of reflections, the signs of the corresponding calculated differences established that the molecule is described with the correct absolute configuration. Crystallographic data (excluding structure factors) for the structure reported in this paper have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre as supplementary publication no. CCDC-112627. Copies of the data can be obtained free of charge on application to CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge CB21EZ, UK (fax: (+44)1223-336-033; e-mail: deposit@ccdc.cam. ac.uk).

51. Owing to the stability of some pentacoordinate square-pyramidal (SP) phosphorus species, it is also possible to consider mechanistic pathways proceeding via SP intermediates with the four-membered oxaphosphetane ring and the five-membered diazaphospholane ring in basal positions and the oxygen anion group in an axial position. The stereochemistry of the migration derives from a cis basal interaction of the entering/leaving group; see also G. R. J. Thatcher, R. Kluger, Mechanism and Catalysis of Nucleophilic Substitution in Phosphate Esters in Advances in Physical Organic Chemistry, Vol. 25 (Ed.: D. Betheil), Academic Press, New York, 1989, pp. 99-265.
