2 The Preparation of Phosphines from Triethyl phosphite<br />

2.1 Triarylphosphines<br />

71<br />

General procedure for the preparation of triarylphosphines: At -75 °C, butyllithium<br />

(0.15 mol) in hexanes (0.10 L) was added to a solution of a bromo- or iodoarene (0.15 mol) in<br />

tetrahydrofuran (0.30 L). Triethyl phosphite (8.7 mL, 8.3 g, 50 mmol) was added at -75 °C<br />

and the suspension was stirred at 25 °C until Gilman color test I<br />

[ ] 227 did not show the<br />

presence of any organolithium reagent. The volatiles were evaporated and the crude product<br />

was crystallized from ethanol to afford the desired compound.<br />

Tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine (1): Prepared from 1-bromo-4-methoxybenzene (28 g,<br />

0.15 mol); colorless needles; m.p. 129 - 131 °C (ref. [80] m.p. 129 - 131 °C); yield: 17.5 g<br />

(99%).<br />

1 H NMR: δ = 7.2 (m, 6 H), 6.87 (dd, J = 9, 1 Hz, 6 H), 3.80 (s, 9 H) ppm.<br />

13 C NMR: δ = 160.5, 135.2 (d, J = 21 Hz), 134.1 (d, J = 11 Hz), 114.1 (d,<br />

J = 7 Hz), 55.2 ppm.<br />

31 P NMR: δ = - 9.5 ppm.<br />

MS: 352 (100%, M + ), 138 (48%).<br />

Tris(2-methoxyphenyl)phosphine (2): Prepared from 1-bromo-2-methoxybenzene (28 g,<br />

0.15 mol); colorless needles; m.p. 208 - 210 °C (ref. [81] m.p. 209 - 210 °C); yield: 17.4 g<br />

(99%).
