Chlorodiphenylphosphine is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (C6H5)2PCl, abbreviated Ph2PCl. It is a colourless oily liquid with a pungent odor that is often described as being garlic-like and detectable even in the ppb range. It is useful reagent for introducing the Ph2P group into molecules, which includes many ligands.[2] Like other halophosphines, Ph2PCl is reactive with many nucleophiles such as water and easily oxidized even by air.

Synthesis and reactions[]

Chlorodiphenylphosphine is produced on a commercial scale from benzene and phosphorus trichloride (PCl3). Benzene reacts with phosphorus trichloride at extreme temperatures around 600 °C to give dichlorophenylphosphine (PhPCl2) and HCl. Redistribution of PhPCl2 in the gas phase at high temperatures results in chlorodiphenylphosphine.[2][3]

2 PhPCl2 → Ph2PCl + PCl3

Alternatively such compounds are prepared by redistribution reactions starting with triphenylphosphine and phosphorus trichloride.

PCl3 + 2 PPh3 → 2 Ph2PCl

Chlorodiphenylphosphine hydrolyzes to give diphenylphosphine oxide. Reduction with sodium affords tetraphenyldiphosphine:

2 Ph2PCl + 2 Na → [Ph2P]2 + 2 NaCl

Uses[]

Chlorodiphenylphosphine, along with other chlorophosphines, is used in the synthesis of various phosphines. A typical route uses Grignard reagents:[3]

Ph2PCl + MgRX → Ph2PR + MgClX

The phosphines produced from reactions with Ph2PCl are further developed and used as pesticides (such as EPN), stabilizers for plastics (Sandostab P-EPQ), various halogen compound catalysts, flame retardants (cyclic phosphinocarboxylic anhydride), as well as UV-hardening paint systems (used in dental materials) making Ph2PCl an important intermediate in the industrial world.[2][3]

Precursor to diphenylphosphido derivatives[]

Chlorodiphenylphosphine is used in the synthesis of via its reaction with sodium metal in refluxing dioxane.[4]

Ph2PCl + 2 Na → Ph2PNa + NaCl

Diphenylphosphine can be synthesized in the reaction of Ph2PCl and LiAlH4, the latter usually used in excess.[5]

4 Ph2PCl + LiAlH4 → 4 Ph2PH + LiCl + AlCl3

Both Ph2PNa and Ph2PH are also used in the synthesis of organophosphine ligands.

Characterization[]

The quality of chlorodiphenylphosphine is often checked by 31P NMR spectroscopy.[6]
