A highly diastereoselective chloride-mediated dynamic kinetic resolution at phosphorus on-route to a key intermediate in the synthesis of GSK2248761A

A highly diastereoselective chloride-mediated dynamic kinetic resolution at phosphorus has been developed to access a key intermediate in the synthesis of GSK2248761A. This procedure utilises a soluble chloride source and a cheap readily available chiral auxiliary. The practicality of this transformation is demonstrated on a multi-gram scale
