The palladium-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular C-H arylation of N-(2-haloaryl)-P,P-diphenylphosphinic amides furnishes P-stereogenic phosphine oxide derivatives in 61-99% yield with 88-97% ee. The catalyst generated in situ from a TADDOL-derived phosphoramide ligand and Pd(dba)2 is optimum in terms of yield and enantioselectivities.
