Product Information

• Name: Di(o-tolyl)chlorophosphine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Di(o-tolyl)chlorophosphine is a chiral, asymmetric catalyst that has been used to synthesize tetrahydrofurans. This compound is prepared by a multimerization reaction of lithium metal and an o-tolylphosphine ligand in the presence of an injecting cocatalyst. This reaction is conducted in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature and requires a flow rate of 1.0 mL per minute. The use of this catalyst can be seen as a transition from the older, less efficient method of using phosphines as ligands for the synthesis of tetrahydrofurans with lithium aluminum hydride.
