Copper catalysts give 1-phosphapyracenes from LJH primary phosphines: a new US collaboration

Read all about our collaboration with the Glueck research group in Organometallics on the synthesis of chiral 1-phosphapyracenes from our air-stable chiral MOP primary phosphines – carried out at Newcastle University, UK and Dartmouth College, USA:
