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 (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 ...
The structure of the phosphine oxide is not strongly perturbed by coordination. The geometry at phosphorus remains tetrahedral. The P-O distance elongates by ca. 2%. In triphenylphosphine oxide, the P-O distance is 1.48 Å. [3] In NiCl 2 [OP(C 6 H 5) 3] 2, the distance is 1.51 Å (see figure).
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.
First phosphine imine-forming reaction is conducted involving treatment of the azide with the phosphine. The intermediate, e.g. triphenylphosphine phenylimide, is then subjected to hydrolysis to produce a phosphine oxide and an amine: R 3 P=NR' + H 2 O → R 3 P=O + R'NH 2. The overall conversion is a mild method of reducing an azide to an amine.
The hydrolysis of phosphorus(V) dihalides also affords the oxide: [9] R 3 PCl 2 + H 2 O → R 3 PO + 2 HCl. A special nonoxidative route is applicable secondary phosphine oxides, which arise by the hydrolysis of the chlorophosphine. An example is the hydrolysis of chlorodiphenylphosphine to give diphenylphosphine oxide: Ph 2 PCl + H 2 O → Ph ...
Vaska's complex is the trivial name for the chemical compound trans-carbonylchlorobis(triphenylphosphine)iridium(I), which has the formula IrCl(CO)[P(C 6 H 5) 3] 2.This square planar diamagnetic organometallic complex consists of a central iridium atom bound to two mutually trans triphenylphosphine ligands, carbon monoxide and a chloride ion.
The P=O bond is very polar with a dipole moment of 4.51 D for triphenylphosphine oxide. [citation needed] Compounds related to phosphine oxides include phosphine imides (R 3 PNR') and related chalcogenides (R 3 PE, where E = S, Se, Te). These compounds are some of the most thermally stable organophosphorus compounds.
