1,1-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, commonly abbreviated dppf, is an

1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane
(dppe).

Preparation

This compound is commercially available. It may be prepared by treating

dilithioferrocene with chlorodiphenylphosphine:[1]

Fe(C5H4Li)2 + 2 ClPPh2 → Fe(C5H4PPh2)2 + 2 LiCl

The dilithiation of

TMEDA
. Many related ligands can be made in this way. The Fe center is typically not involved in the behavior of the ligand.

Reactions

Dppf readily forms metal complexes.

palladium dichloride:[2] Substitution of the phenyl substituents in dppf leads to derivatives with modified donor-acceptor properties at the phosphorus atoms.[3]

dppf + PdCl2(RCN)2 → (dppf)PdCl2 + 2 RCN (RCN = acetonitrile or benzonitrile)
Structure of the complex PtCl2(dppf)

Another example of dppf in homogeneous catalysis is provided by the air- and moisture-stable Ni(II) precatalyst [(dppf)Ni(cinnamyl)Cl. It promotes Suzuki-Miyuara cross-coupling of heteroaryl boronic acids with nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heteroaryl halides.[4]

Synthesis of [(dppf)Ni(cinnamyl)Cl)]

Another dppf-based catalyst is (dppf)Ni(o-tolyl)Cl, can be prepared from ligand exchange with (PPh3)2Ni(o-tolyl)Cl. It promotes the amination of aryl chlorides, sulfamates, mesylates, and triflates.[5]
