Application
(4-Methylphenyl)diphenyl phosphine is a versatile compound that appears as a white to light yellow crystal powder. Its primary purpose is to serve as a reactant in various chemical processes. It is used in three-component cyclization reactions and plays a crucial role in investigating coordination abilities through palladium pincer complexes. Additionally, it is involved in chelation-assisted hydroacylation of olefins with primary alcohols. This compound is also integral to the synthesis of trinuclear ruthenium carbonyl triarylphosphine cluster complexes. Beyond these applications, it is utilized in the development of leishmanicidal leads that target mitochondria by inhibiting the respiratory complex, and is a precursor for creating InP nanofibers and metal phosphide nanostructures. Furthermore, it is used in generating peroxyl radical cations through pulse radiolysis one-electron oxidations, as referenced in The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 52, p. 748, 1987.
