Application

Triphenylphosphine oxide can be used:
  • As a catalyst in Appel-type chlorination reaction of acyclic primary and secondary alcohols.
  • As a catalyst in stereoselective poly and dibromination of α,β-unsaturated esters and β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoester compounds.
  • As a promotor in the diastereoselective synthesis of α-ribofuranosides through ribofuranosylation of alcohols with ribofuranosyl iodides.

Metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising candidates for solution-processed blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, halide phase segregation - and the resultant spectral shift - at LED operating voltages hinders their application. Here we report true-blue LEDs employing quasi-two-dimensional cesium

[see reaction]. A simple, highly effective method for removing triphenylphosphine and/or triphenylphosphine oxide from reaction mixtures is described. Commercially available high-loading chloromethylated polystyrene 1, modified in situ with NaI, acts as a scavenger resin. Several coupling reactions catalyzed by Pd(0)
