Chiral phosphines are important ligands in asymmetric catalysis, yet their potential as directing groups for asymmetric C–H activation remains unexplored due to the oxidative nature of these reactions. We present a Pd-catalysed, P(iii)-directed diastereoselective acetoxylation of phosphoramidites, with DFT calculat
