(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-bromoiodobenzene, 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]

Lithiation with butyl lithium gives o-lithiated triphenylphosphine. The bromide also forms a Grignard reagent. These metallated phosphines are versatile reagents.[4]

BrC6H4PPh2 + Mg → BrMgC6H4PPh2
2 BrMgC6H4PPh2 + PhPCl2 → PhP[C6H4PPh2]2 + 2 MgClBr
