Tricyclohexyl phosphine Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Description

Tricyclohexyl phosphine is the tertiary phosphine with the formula P( C 6H11) 3. Commonly used as a ligand in organometallic chemistry, it is often abbreviated to PCy 3, where Cy stands for cyclohexyl. It is characterized by both high basicity (pK a = 9.7) and a large ligand cone angle (170°). Tricyclohexyl-phosphine is more basic (and so a better c-donor) than tribu tyiphosphine, which in turn is more basic than triphenyl phosphIne.

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to pale yellow solution

Uses

  1. Tricyclohexyl Phosphine is a ligand catalyst used primarily in organometallic chemistry.
  2. Ligand used in the Pd-catalyzed coupling of malononitrile with aryl halides.
  3. suzuki reaction: Bulky phosphine ligand used with a Pd(0)-triolefinic macrocycle catalyst for Suzuki coupling of aryl bromides and chlorides.
  4. This ligand is applied with Ni as a key intermediate in the formation of cylcopentane compounds.
  5. As a reagent, Tricyclohexylphosphine is used for a range of metal-catalyzed organic transformations.
  6. Crabtree's catalyst is an organoiridium compound containing tricyclohexyl phosphine used for hydrogenation of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra- substituted substrates and hydrogen transfer reactions.
  7. Grubbs' catalysts consists of transition metal ruthenium and tricylohexyl phosphine utilized in olefin metathesis in synthetic organic chemistry.

Synthesis

Triphenylphosphine oxide (1 mmol), dry n-hexane (1 mL) and complexed aluminum hydroxide reagent (1 mmol) were added to the Schlenk tube under nitrogen atmosphere and then the reaction was carried out with stirring at room temperature for 10 minutes. The completion of the reaction mixture was monitored by TLC spot plate and at the end of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered through silica gel and the reaction mixture was washed several times with ethyl acetate, the residue obtained from the evaporation of ethyl acetate was separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography using pure cyclohexane to obtain the tricyclohexylphosphine product.

Purification Methods

It recrystallises from EtOH [Boert et al. J Am Chem Soc 109 7781 1987]. [Beilstein 16 IV 947.]

Q:How efficient is Tricyclohexyl phosphine as a catalytic component of Organophosphorus ligands?Zora - Apr 15,2026
A: Tricyclohexyl phosphine is a phosphine ligand used in coordination chemistry, the use of tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3) in an equimolar amount of nickel was remarkably effective for the silaboration reaction. Use of a smaller or larger amount of the phosphine ligand resulted in a significant decrease in yield. While PBu3 is a little less effective than PCy3, other phosphine ligands, such as PPh3, PCyPh2, P(t-Bu)3, and PMe2Ph, resulted in the formation of the silaboration product in less than 10% yield. Under the same reaction conditions using PCy3, several VCPs including 1-substituted, 2-substituted, and 1,2-disubstituted derivatives underwent the silaborative C-C bond cleavage selectively. It has an unpleasant odor, is harmful if swallowed, and is irritating to eyes and skin.
