Uses and Synthesis of Diphenylphosphine oxide
Aug 22,2022
Uses
Diphenylphosphine oxide is a commonly used chemical reagent in the laboratory. It is often used in the preparation of triphenylphosphine oxide, alkenyldiphenylphosphine oxide, addition to alkynes and Wittig-Horner reaction reagents.
Synthesis
Diphenylphosphine oxide can be prepared by the reaction of phosphonic esters, such as diethylphosphite, with Grignard reagents followed by acid workup:
(C2H5O)2P(O)H + 3 C6H5MgBr → (C6H5)2P(O)MgBr + C2H5OMgBr
(C6H5)2P(O)MgBr + HCl → (C6H5)2P(O)H + MgBrCl
Alternatively, it may be prepared by the partial hydrolysis of chlorodiphenylphosphine or diphenylphosphine.
Reactions
Diphenylphosphine oxide exists in equilibrium with its minor tautomer diphenylphosphinous acid, (C6H5)2POH:
(C6H5)2P(O)H⇆ (C6H5)2POH
Diphenylphosphine oxide is used in Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reactions to introduce diphenylphosphino substituents.
Thionyl chloride converts diphenylphosphine oxide to chlorodiphenylphosphine.
Organophosphinous acids are deoxygenated with DIBAH. The resulting secondary phosphines are precursors to phosphine ligands.
