Application
Bis(2-furyl)phosphine chloride serves as a versatile reactant in the synthesis of various complex chemical compounds and reactions. Its primary purpose includes the development of centrostereogenic 1,3-bidentate ferrocenyldiphosphane ligands and ferrocene-based chiral diphosphine compounds, which are crucial in creating chirally enriched environments for catalytic processes. Additionally, it facilitates the formation of phosphine-containing amino acids, enhancing the functional diversity of amino acid derivatives. This compound also plays a significant role in the α-arylation of aldehydes, allowing for the formation of diverse aryl structures. Moreover, it supports stereoselective [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangements of acyclic allylic phosphinites, crucial for configuring complex stereochemistry, and aids in the hydrophosphination of functionalized alkenes, contributing to the formation of phosphorus-carbon bonds in functionalized organic molecules.
