substitution (SNAr) reaction followed by silane reduction. Aminophosphine 1d was also prepared from 2,3-difluorobenzaldehyde (4) via dimethylhydrazone. Optical resolution of C(aryl)−N(amine) bond atropisomers was achieved using (S)-(+)-di-μ-chlorobis[2-[(dimethylamino)ethyl]phenyl-C2,N]dipalladium(II) ((S)-10). The determination of absoluteconfiguration and the investigation of the rotation barrier
