Dichlorophenylphosphine is commercially available. It may be prepared by an electrophilic substitution of benzene by phosphorus trichloride, catalyzed by aluminium chloride.[1][2] However, aluminum chloride often induces diarylation; a cleaner catalyst for monoarylation is stannic chloride.[2] The compound is an intermediate for the synthesis of other chemicals for instance dimethylphenylphosphine:
- C6H5PCl2 + 2 CH3MgI → C6H5P(CH3)2 + 2 MgICl
Many tertiary phosphines can be prepared by this route.[3]
In the McCormack reaction dichlorophenylphosphine adds dienes to give the chlorophospholenium ring.[4]
Reductive coupling of the dichlorophosphine gives the cyclophosphine (PhP)5.[5]
