Triphenylphosphine (IUPAC name: triphenylphosphane) is a common organophosphorus compound with the formula P(C₆H₅)₃ and often abbreviated to PPh₃ or Ph₃P. It is widely used in the synthesis of organic and organometallic compounds. PPh₃ exists as relatively air stable, colorless crystals at room temperature. It dissolves in non-polar organic solvents such as benzene and diethyl ether.Triphenylphosphine binds well to most transition metals, especially those in the middle and late transition metals of groups 7–10.^[16] In terms of steric bulk, PPh₃ has a Tolman cone angle of 145°,^[17] which is intermediate between those of P(C₆H₁₁)₃ (170°) and P(CH₃)₃ (115°). In an early application in homogeneous catalysis, NiBr₂(PPh₃)₂ was used by Walter Reppe for the synthesis of acrylate esters from alkynes, carbon monoxide, and alcohols.^[18] The use of PPh₃ was popularized by its use in the hydroformylation catalyst RhH(PPh₃)₃(CO).Organic reactions

PPh₃ is widely used in organic synthesis. The properties that guide its usage are its nucleophilicity and its reducing character.^[11] The nucleophilicity of PPh₃ is indicated by its reactivity toward electrophilic alkenes, such as Michael-acceptors, and alkyl halides. It is also used in the synthesis of biaryl compounds, such as the Suzuki reaction.

Quaternization

PPh₃ combines with alkyl halides to give phosphonium salts. This quaternization reaction is particularly fast for benzylic and allylic halides:

PPh₃ + CH₃I → [CH₃PPh₃]⁺I⁻

These salts, which can often be isolated as crystalline solids, react with strong bases to form ylides, which are reagents in the Wittig reactions.

Aryl halides will quaternize PPh₃ to give tetraphenylphosphonium salts:

PPh₃ + PhBr → [PPh₄]Br

 

Mitsunobu reaction

In the Mitsunobu reaction, a mixture of triphenylphosphine and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate ("DIAD", or its diethyl analogue, DEAD) converts an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to an ester. DIAD is reduced as it serves as the hydrogen acceptor, and the PPh₃ is oxidized to OPPh₃.

Appel reaction

In the Appel reaction, a mixture of PPh₃ and CX₄ (X = Cl, Br) is used to convert alcohols to alkyl halides. (OPPh₃) is a byproduct.

PPh₃ + CBr₄ + RCH₂OH → OPPh₃ + RCH₂Br + HCBr₃

This reaction commences with nucleophilic attack of PPh₃ on CBr₄, an extension of the quaternization reaction listed above.

Deoxygenation

The easy oxygenation of PPh₃ is exploited in its use to deoxygenate organic peroxides, which generally occurs with retention of configuration:

PPh₃ + RO₂H → OPPh₃ + ROH (R = alkyl)It is also used for the decomposition of organic ozonides to ketones and aldehydes, although dimethyl sulfide is more popular for the reaction as the side product, dimethyl sulfoxide is more readily separated from the reaction mixture than triphenylphosphine oxide. Aromatic N-oxides are reduced to the corresponding amine in high yield at room temperature with irradiation:
