We report the stereochemistry of reactions of various nucleophiles with opticallyactive silyl esters of phosphorus of general formula: tBuPhP(X)OSiMePhNp (X = −(1), Oxygen (2), Sulfur (3), Selenium (4). The list of nucleophiles includes O,S,N,C nucleophiles as well as halides. The nucleophilic attack is essentially directed towards silicon. The phosphinous and phosphonic acid esters react with predominant
