Applications
UsesTrimethylphosphine (PMe3) is an electron-rich phosphine ligand used as a reagent in Mitsunobu reaction.It can be used:In transformation of azides into carbamates; aziridines to azidoalcohols; and ketoximes to ketones with 2,2′-dipyridyl diselenide.In Aza-Wittig reaction;, C-H bond activation of imines; cross-coupling reactions.In the preparation of (cyanomethylene) trimethylphosphorane (CMMP) which is used as a reagent in Mitsunobu type reaction.As a reagent in the synthesis of ruthenium trimethylphosphine complexes, which in turn are used as catalysts for hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid.
UsesTrimethylphosphine (PMe3) solution is the suitable reagent used in the synthesis of Fe/Te cluster type complex, Fe6Te8(PMe3)6. It may be employed as a probe to investigate the acid sites in Y-zeolite. It may be used for the synthesis of hexakis(trimethylphosphine)tris-μ-methylene-diruthenium(III).
UsesTrimethylphosphine is an electron-rich phosphine ligand used in the Mitsunobu reaction. It participates in the transformation of azides into carbamates, aziridines from azidoalcohols, iminophosphoranes and aza-Wittig reaction. This product is offered as a solution in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran for more convenient handling.
General DescriptionTrimethylphosphine is the reagent used in Mitsunobu reaction. It participates in the transformation of azides into carbamates, aziridines from azidoalcohols, iminophosphoranes and aza-Wittig reaction. Electron diffraction study of trimethylphosphine has been reported.
