Infobox references

(2-Bromophenyl)diphenylphosphine is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (C₆H₄Br)P(C₆H₅)₂. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. The compound is used as a precursor to the 2-lithiated derivative of triphenylphosphine,^[1] which in turn is a precursor to other phosphine ligands.

Preparation

The compound has been prepared by several methods.^[1] An efficient route is the coupling reaction of diphenylphosphine and 2-bromoiodobenzne, which is catalyzed by palladium complexes (Ph = C₆H₅):^[2]

C₆H₄Br(I) + HPPh₂ + Et₃N → Ph₂P(C₆H₄Br) + [Et₃NH]I

The compound is isomorphous with (2-tolyl)diphenylphosphine.^[3]
