Chemistry & industry
Uses & manufacturing
Applications
DescriptionTriphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) is a coordinating solvent used to activate crystallization of chemical compounds. It has been used in flame retardant applications, as an epoxy cure catalyst, and more recently, to produce nanostructures.
UsesTriphenylphosphine Oxide (Orlistat USP Related Compound C) is a catalyst in the conversion of aldehydes into 1,1-dichlorides. Triphenylphosphine Oxide is used as a catalyst for the synthesis of hightly functionalized α-CF3 γ-keto esters.
UsesTriphenylphosphine oxide can be used:As a catalyst in Appel-type chlorination reaction of acyclic primary and secondary alcohols.As a catalyst in stereoselective poly and dibromination of α,β-unsaturated esters and β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoester compounds.As a promotor in the diastereoselective synthesis of α-ribofuranosides through ribofuranosylation of alcohols with ribofuranosyl iodides.
UsesTriphenylphosphine oxide is a phosphine ligand used for coupling reactions, epoxidations, and Michael reactions
Preparation methods
PreparationMany reactions in organic synthesis, such as the Wittig, Staudinger, and phototactic reactions, produce Ph3PO as a byproduct. Ph3PCl2 also produces triphenylphosphine oxide during the conversion of alcohols to chlorinated hydrocarbons: Ph3PCl2 + ROH → Ph3PO + HCl + RCl
