The aminophosphines 1 have been easily prepared from 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline or indoline and their atropisomeric enantiomers were observed by using HPLC-CD on a chiral phase. In some cases, the resolution of each enantiomers was successfully completed by column chromatography of the diastereomeric complexes formed with chiral palladium reagent. In the presence of chiral aminophosphine 1, palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation was carried out. This reaction proceeded successfully with good enantioselectivity.
