• Synonyms: SPhos
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6'-dimethoxybiphenyl is a fluorescent chemical that has been used to study interactions of fatty acids and halides. It is also used in the synthesis of palladium complexes, which have been shown to be effective for hydrogenation reactions. 2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6'-dimethoxybiphenyl can be synthesized from 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde and dicyclohexylphosphine by the addition of trifluoroacetic acid. The synthesis proceeds via a substitution reaction with methoxy groups on the aromatic ring. This product fluoresces under ultraviolet light at 351 nm.
