Diphenylphosphine oxide is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (C₆H₅)₂P(O)H. It is a white solid that soluble in polar organic solvents. The compound is used in Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reactions to introduce a diphenylphosphino substituent.^[1] Analogous to the behavior of phosphorous acid, diphenylphosphine oxide exists in equilibrium with a minor tautomer hydroxydiphenylphosphine (CAS#24630-80-6) (C₆H₅)₂POH.

Synthesis

Diphenylphosphine oxide can be prepared by the reaction of phosphonic esters, such as diethylphosphite, with Grignard reagents. Alternatively, it may be prepared by the partial hydrolysis of chlorodiphenylphosphine^[1] or diphenylphosphine.^[2]

Reactions

Organophosphinous acids are deoxygenated with DIBAH. The resulting secondary phosphines are precursors to phosphine ligands.^[3]
