Bis(2-isopropoxyphenyl)phosphine
Bis(2-isopropoxyphenyl)phosphine (CAS 1202864-41-2) is an organophosphorus compound with the molecular formula C18H23O2P and a molecular weight of 302.35 g/mol. It is a secondary diarylphosphine bearing two ortho-isopropoxy-substituted aryl groups and a reactive P-H bond, supplied by Tech Serve Solutions as a research-grade solid of 97% assay. It serves principally as a phosphine ligand and a building block for preparing tertiary phosphines used in transition-metal catalysis and fine-chemical synthesis.

Phosphine ligand for metal catalysis
Used as a phosphorus(III) ligand and ligand precursor for transition-metal complexes. The ortho-alkoxy aryl substituents and P-H functionality make it a useful starting point for designing supporting ligands in homogeneous catalysis.
Precursor to tertiary phosphines
The reactive P-H bond of this secondary phosphine allows further functionalisation to access more elaborate tertiary phosphine ligands and organophosphorus structures for research programmes.
Building block in chemical synthesis
Applied as a specialised intermediate in organophosphorus and organometallic synthesis, where a defined diarylphosphine scaffold is required for downstream coupling, coordination or derivatisation chemistry.
Research and method development
Employed at laboratory scale in catalysis research, ligand screening and exploratory synthesis where consistent identity and purity are important for reproducible results.
