During the course of this investigation, a highly selective unsymmetrical P-chiral bis(trialkylphosphane) ligand was prepared in both enantiomeric forms by Pfizer research group, but in small scale using chiral preparatory HPLC, see: G.

45. Resolution of racemic phosphane oxide with (L)- or (D)-DBT was previously applied by Imamoto and Miura in the preparation of a dialkylaryl P-chiral phosphorus ligand, see: T. Miura, T. Imamoto, Tetrahedron Lett. 1999, 40, 4833. However, an attempt to resolve the corresponding racemic phosphane oxide intermediate of TangPhos failed due to the highly hygroscopic nature of that intermediate.

48. tert-Butylphosphane was prepared on lab scale by reduction of commercially available tert-butyldichlorophosphane with LAH. It can also be prepared on industrial scale from phosphane and isobutene.

The X-ray crystallography data of this complex has been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC-257476). Experimental details of the ligand synthesis and a general hydrogenation procedure are also available included in the Supporting Information.
