structural characteristics | both Ph3PO and similar POCl3 have tetrahedral structure, and the oxygen atom is basic. Both the rigidity of the skeleton and the basicity of the oxygen atom cause triphenylphosphine oxide to induce crystallization of compounds which are difficult to crystallize by other methods, and are particularly effective for acidic hydrogen-containing substances such as phenol. |
preparation method | many reactions in organic synthesis, such as Wittig, Staudinger and photo-extension reactions, can produce Ph3PO by-products, ph3PCl2 also produces triphenylphosphine oxide in the conversion of alcohols to chlorinated hydrocarbons: Ph3PCl2 ROH → Ph3PO HCl RCl |
Application | triphenylphosphine oxide can be used as organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates, catalysts, extractants, etc., and also used for fluorescent anti-counterfeiting powder. This product is mainly used as solvent, Catalyst, corrosion inhibitor; Also used for rubber accelerator and other fine chemicals synthesis, also used as polyurethane catalyst, the synthesis of aminobenzylpenicillin and hydroxybenzyl penicillin catalyst. N-methyl morpholine oxide can be produced by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. |
