Hydrochloric Acid → Tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phosphine trihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A rubber-capped serum bottle containing 25 ml of ethanol was purged of air with argon, and then charged by means of a syringe with 2.31 g (11.25 mmol) of tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phosphine and 7.00 ml (42.0 mmol) of 6 N hydrochloric acid. The solution, which fumed but remained clear, was shaken for 30 min and then stripped under vacuum, leaving 3.55 g (100% yield) of tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phosphine trihydrochloride as a white, crystalline solid.
