Dimethylphenylphosphine is an
Preparation
Dimethylphenylphosphine is prepared by the reaction of methylmagnesium halide with dichlorophenylphosphine.
- (C6H5)Cl2P + 2CH3MgBr → (C6H5)(CH3)2P + 2MgBrCl
The phosphine is purified by distillation under reduced pressure.[1] A solution of (C6H5)(CH3)2P in CDCl3 shows
Structure and properties
Dimethylphenylphosphine is a
When attached to chiral metal centers, the P-methyl groups are
The νCO of IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 and IrCl(CO)(PMe2Ph)2 are both at 1960 cm−1, whereas νCO for IrCl(CO)(PMe3)2 is at 1938 cm−1.[4][5]
In terms of basicity, dimethylphenylphosphine is intermediate between that of trialkyl- and triphenylphosphine:[6][7]
- [HPEt3]+ = 8.7
- [HPMe2Ph]+ = 6.8
- [HPPh3]+ = 2.7
The ligand
Where θi represent the half angle.
The resulting angles for PMe3, PMe2Ph, PPh3 are: PMe3 = 118°, PMe2Ph = 122°, PPh3 = 145°. Thus, PMe2Ph is intermediate in size relative to PMe3 and PPh3.[8]
