preparation | tributylphosphine is industrially obtained by the reaction of phosphine and butene, and the addition reaction is a free radical mechanism, do not follow the Markov rule. PH3 3CH2 = CHCH2CH3 → P(CH2CH2CH2CH3)3 can be obtained in the laboratory by the reaction of corresponding Grignard reagent and phosphorus trichloride. 3 BuMgCl PCl3→ PBu3 3 MgCl2 |
precautions for use | tributylphosphine is flammable and odorous, and can be used at room temperature under inert gas protection. Contact with air can undergo a free radical chain reaction to be oxidized to produce tributylphosphine oxide and butyl dibutylphosphonate. Therefore, it is usually necessary to perform purification by distillation under reduced pressure before use. |
Application | tributylphosphine is the main ligand of homogeneous catalyst used in petrochemical production, which can be used as reducing agent, olefin polymerization catalyst, etc. tributylphosphine is an important organic phosphine ligand, which is widely used in transition metal organic synthesis. It can be used as a reducing agent to reduce and open disulfide bonds in proteins, and can also reduce carbonyl groups and epoxy groups. It can also be used as an olefin polymerization catalyst, a carbonylation catalyst for dibenzyl alcohol, and an ammonia methylation catalyst for polybutadiene, selective hydrogenation catalysts for Unsaturated Steroids. In organic synthesis, tributylphosphine can be used as a strong reducing agent or as a highly efficient catalyst. As a starting material for the reaction of various surfactants, phase transfer catalysts and bactericides. |
