A solution of 1.0 g (1.5 mmol) of bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-trimethylsilyloxyphenyl)phenylphosphine and 2.0 g of water in 25 ml of methanol is heated at reflux temperature for 4 hours. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 9:1 heptane:ethyl/acetate eluent) to give 0.3 g (34%) of a white solid, m.p. 138°-140° C.
