CAS 4541-02-0

Phosphine, diphenyl-, lithium salt

Description:

Phosphine, diphenyl-, lithium salt, with the CAS number 4541-02-0, is an organophosphorus compound characterized by the presence of a phosphine group bonded to two phenyl groups and a lithium ion. This compound typically appears as a solid and is known for its role in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis and as a reagent in the preparation of other phosphorus-containing compounds. It exhibits properties typical of phosphine derivatives, such as being a Lewis base due to the lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom. The lithium salt form enhances its stability and solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in synthetic applications. Additionally, it may exhibit unique reactivity patterns due to the presence of both the phosphine and lithium components, allowing it to participate in nucleophilic substitutions and other transformations. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as phosphines can be toxic and flammable under certain conditions.
