Abstract
Chiral phosphorus ligands play a crucial role in asymmetric catalysis for the efficient synthesis of useful optically active compounds. They are largely categorized into two classes: backbone chirality ligands and P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands. Most of the reported ligands belong to the former class. Privileged ones such as BINAP and DuPhos are frequently employed in a wide range of catalytic asymmetric transformations. In contrast, the latter class of P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands has remained a small family for many years mainly because of their synthetic difficulty. The late 1990s saw the emergence of novel P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands with their superior enantioinduction ability in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation reactions. Since then, numerous P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands have been synthesized and used in catalytic asymmetric reactions. This Review summarizes P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands reported thus far, including their stereochemical and electronic properties that afford high to excellent enantioselectivities. Examples of reactions that use this class of ligands are described together with their applications in the construction of key intermediates for the synthesis of optically active natural products and therapeutic agents. The literature covered dates back to 1968 up until December 2023, centering on studies published in the late 1990s and later years.

Abstract
A new phosphine-catalyzed reaction of α-substituted allenes with aryl imines, in stark contrast to classic cycloaddition reactions, has been developed. This reaction delivers valuable highly functionalized itaconimides with excellent stereoselectivities by a new «un-cyclizing» reaction mode involving β'-carbon of α-substituted allenes. Moreover, the present «un-cyclizing» reaction can also be carried out in a one-pot fashion and scaled up to the gram scale by using aryl aldehydes, without the need to isolate the aryl imines. Mechanistic studies and control experiments reveal the crucial role of H2 CO3 for the present reaction mode. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to understand the possible mechanism.

Abstract
Enantioselective [2 + 2] cyclization between an imine and a carbon-carbon double bond is a versatile strategy to build chiral azetidines. However, α-branched allenoates have never been successfully applied in [2 + 2] cyclization reactions with imines, as they always undergo Kwon's [4 + 2] annulation in previous catalytic methods. Herein, a simple in situ generated magnesium catalyst was employed to successfully achieve the enantioselective [2 + 2] cyclization reaction of DPP-imines and α-branched allenoates for the first time. Insightful experiments including KIE experiments, controlled experiments, Hammett plot analysis, and 31P NMR studies of initial intermediates indicate that the current [2 + 2] cyclization of imine most likely involves an asynchronous concerted transition state. Further mechanistic investigations by combining kinetic studies, ESI experiments, 31P NMR studies of coordination complexes, and controlled experiments on reaction rates under different catalyst loading amounts provided the coordination details for this [2 + 2] cyclization reaction between DPP-imines and α-branched allenoates. This new approach was applied to the synthesis of various chiral aza-heterocycles, including the enantioselective synthesis of the key intermediate of a lipid-lowering agent Ezetimibe.

Abstract
The reactivity of 2-sulfonamidoindoles with acetoxy allenoates under phosphine catalysis depends on the disposition of the acetoxy (OAc) group on the allenoate. In the temperature-controlled [3 + 3] annulations, δ-acetoxy allenoates afforded dihydrocarboline and carboline scaffolds with carbon-nitrogen nucleophilic 2-sulfonamidoindoles, in which allenoate serves as a β-, γ-, and δ-carbon donor. At room temperature (25 °C), dihydro-α-carboline motifs were obtained exclusively through Michael addition, 1,4-proton shift, isomerization, 1,2-proton transfer, phosphine elimination, and aza-Michael addition. The higher temperature (80 °C) cascade protocol using Ph3P-Cs2CO3 combination involves addition-elimination, aza-Claisen rearrangement, tosyl migration, and aromatization as key steps to give α-carbolines containing tosyl functionality at the γ-carbon. In contrast, with β'-acetoxy allenoate, 2-sulfonamidoindole acts only as a carbo-nucleophile in (p-tolyl)3P-directed [4 + 1] spiro-annulation, leading to five-membered spiro-carbocyclic motifs essentially as single diastereomers (dr >20:1) via chemoselective carbo-annulation.

Abstract
We disclose an l-isoleucine-derived amide phosphine-catalyzed trimerization of γ-aryl-3-butynoates, which undergo an isomerization to allenoate, [3 + 2] cyclization, and Michael addition cascade. Exocyclopentene derivatives bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter were constructed stereospecifically and enantioselectively. A wide variety of γ-aryl-3-butynoates could be employed to deliver optically pure cyclopentene derivatives in moderate to good yields with ee values of ≥95% and in most cases ≥98%.

Abstract
Two novel diastereoisomeric P-chirogenic phosphine catalysts, i.e., JiaPhos, which can be easily derived from inexpensive and commercially available starting materials in five chemical operations (totally 4.16g scale), are introduced. To our delight, the JiaPhos catalysts display good performance in enantioselective (4 + 2) annulations involving 3-methylene-2-oxindoles and γ-benzyl allenoates, providing a wide range of 3,3'-spirocyclic oxindoles with good efficiency and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Phosphorus-based organocatalysis encompasses several subfields that have undergone rapid growth in recent years. This Outlook gives an overview of its various aspects. In particular, we highlight key advances in three topics: nucleophilic phosphine catalysis, organophosphorus catalysis to bypass phosphine oxide waste, and organophosphorus compound-mediated single electron transfer processes. We briefly summarize five additional topics: chiral phosphoric acid catalysis, phosphine oxide Lewis base catalysis, iminophosphorane super base catalysis, phosphonium salt phase transfer catalysis, and frustrated Lewis pair catalysis. Although it is not catalytic in nature, we also discuss novel discoveries that are emerging in phosphorus(V) ligand coupling. We conclude with some ideas about the future of organophosphorus catalysis.

Abstract
The discovery of pyramidal inversion has continued to impact modern organic and organometallic chemistry. Sequential alkylation reactions of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligated dicarbondiphosphide 1 with RI (R = Me, Et, or iBu) and ZnMe2 give rise to the highly stereoselective synthesis of cis-1,3-diphosphetanes 3. cis-3 is conformationally favorable at room temperature, whereas inversion to trans-3 is observed at 110 °C. One-electron oxidation of cis-3 with Fc+(BArF) (Fc = [Fe(C5H5)2]; BArF = [B(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)4)]-) leads to the stereoselective formation of trans-1,3-diphosphetane radical cation salts 3•+(BArF), which can be reversibly transformed to cis-3 upon one-electron reduction. Salts 3•+(BArF) represent the first examples of 1,3-diphosphetane radical cations. These results provide a potential application of planar four-membered heterocycle-based building blocks for electrically fueled molecular switches.

Abstract
Spiro-annulation involving δ-acetoxy allenoate and alkyl benzoisothiazole dioxide (N-sulfonyl ketimine) triggered by DABCO/MeCO2H combination leads to an essentially single diastereomer via chemo- and regiospecific [4 + 2]-carboannulation and a new hydroxyl group is introduced. In contrast, DMAP-catalyzed benzannulation using the same reactants affords unsymmetrical m-teraryls via Mannich coupling, sequential proton transfers, and C-N bond cleavage. Here, δ-acetoxy allenoate serves as a 4C-synthon and the carboannulation is completely base dependent and mutually exclusive.

Abstract
Many natural products and medicinal drugs are heterocyclic amines possessing a chiral quaternary carbon atom in their heterocyclic ring. Herein, we report the first catalytic and asymmetric Staudinger-aza-Wittig reaction for the desymmetrization of ketones. This highly enantioselective transformation proceeds at room temperature to provide high yields-even on multigram scales-of nitrogen heterocycles featuring a chiral quaternary center. The products of this reaction are potential precursors for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. A commercially available small P-chiral phosphine catalyst, HypPhos, induces the asymmetry and is recycled through in situ reduction of its oxide, mediated by phenylsilane in the presence of a carboxylic acid. The efficiency, selectivity, scalability, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope portend that this process will expedite the syntheses of chiral heterocyclic amines of significance to chemistry, biology, and medicine.

Abstract
A robust synthetic route from L-hydroxyproline (L-Hyp) to phosphines has established an expandable library of six chiral aminophosphines, which were then applied to the phosphine-catalyzed [4 + 2] allene-imine annulation. The enantioinduction in the annulations-induced by a purely steric effect-were moderate (up to 57% ee). A switch of the reaction site from the γ- to the β'-carbon atom of the allenoate was observed during the annulations performed using sterically demanding chiral phosphines.

Abstract
In recent years, there have been extraordinary developments of organophosphine-catalyzed reactions. This includes progress in the area of [4C+X] annulations, which are of particular interest due to their potential for the rapid construction of 5–8-membered cyclic products. In this short overview, we summarize the remarkable progress, emphasizing reaction mechanisms and key intermediates involved in the processes. The discussion is classified according to the type of electrophilic reactants that acted as C4 synthons in the annulation process, in the order of α-alkyl allenoates, γ-alkyl allenoates, α-methyl allene ketones, β′-OAc allenoate, δ-OAc allenoate, activated dienes and cyclobutenones.
