Triphenylphosphine (IUPAC name: triphenylphosphane) is a common organophosphorus compound with the formula P(C 6 H 5) 3 and often abbreviated to P Ph 3 or Ph 3 P. It is versatile compound that is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a ligand for transition metal complexes, including ones that serve as catalysts in organometallic chemistry.
Triphenylphosphine oxide (often abbreviated TPPO) is the organophosphorus compound with the formula OP(C 6 H 5) 3, also written as Ph 3 PO or PPh 3 O (Ph = C 6 H 5). It is one of the more common phosphine oxides. This colourless crystalline compound is a common but potentially useful waste product in reactions involving triphenylphosphine.
Triphenylphosphine sulfide (IUPAC name: triphenyl-λ 5-phosphanethione) is the organophosphorus compound with the formula (C 6 H 5) 3 PS, usually written Ph 3 PS (where Ph = phenyl). It is a colourless solid, which is soluble in a variety of organic solvents.
Phosphine (IUPAC name: phosphane) is a colorless, flammable, highly toxic compound with the chemical formula P H 3, classed as a pnictogen hydride.Pure phosphine is odorless, but technical grade samples have a highly unpleasant odor like rotting fish, due to the presence of substituted phosphine and diphosphane (P 2 H 4).
Triphenyl phosphate exhibits low acute toxicity by dermal or oral contact. [3] However, an increasing number of studies have linked exposure to TPhP with reproductive and developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, metabolic disruption, endocrine effects, and genotoxicity. [6] [8] [9] TPhP has also been found to induce significant estrogenic activity.
The methylation of triphenylphosphine is the first step in the preparation of the Wittig reagent. Illustrative phosphorus(V) compounds: the phosphonium ion P(CH 2 OH) 4 +, two resonance structures for the Wittig reagent Ph 3 PCH 2, and pentaphenylphosphorane, a rare pentaorganophophorus compound. The parent phosphorane (σ 5 λ 5) is PH 5 ...
Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) is widely used to catalyse C-C coupling reactions in organic synthesis, see Heck reaction. Wilkinson's catalyst , RhCl(PPh 3 ) 3 is a square planar Rh(I) complex of historical significance used to catalyze the hydrogenation of alkenes.
The reaction mechanism of the Mitsunobu reaction is fairly complex. The identity of intermediates and the roles they play has been the subject of debate. Initially, the triphenyl phosphine (2) makes a nucleophilic attack upon diethyl azodicarboxylate (1) producing a betaine intermediate 3, which deprotonates the carboxylic acid (4) to form the ion pair 5.
