Application
Tri(2-furyl)phosphine is a versatile phosphine ligand characterized by its white to light yellow crystalline powder form, primarily employed in transition-metal mediated organic synthesis. It plays a crucial role in enhancing (Z) selectivity during Wittig reactions and is similarly effective in Suzuki reactions. This ligand is widely used for carbon-carbon coupling reactions, contributing to processes such as the alkynylation of thioesters and the formation of enol esters. In palladium-catalyzed scenarios, Tri(2-furyl)phosphine facilitates 3-component coupling, various C-C coupling reactions, and trans-olefin formation. Additionally, it aids in the synthesis of olefins from N-tosylhydrazones and benzyl halides and is involved in the C-H arylation or alkenylation of 1-substituted tetrazoles.
