| | Triethylphosphine Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Colorless Transparent Liquid | | Uses | In organic syntheses. | | Uses | suzuki reaction | | Uses | Triethylphosphine is used as a ligand for arylation. It is used in organic synthesis. | | Definition | ChEBI: Triethylphosphine is a tertiary phosphine. | | Safety Profile | Highly flammable liquid. Reactswith oxygen at low temperatures to form an explosiveproduct. When heated to decomposition it emits toxicfumes of POx. | | Purification Methods | All operations should be carried out in an efficient fume cupboard because it is flammable, toxic and has a foul odour. Purify the phosphine by fractional distillation at atmospheric pressure in a stream of dry N2, as it is oxidised by air to the oxide. In 300% excess of CS2 it forms Et3PCS2 (m 118-120o crystallising from MeOH) which decomposes in CCl4 to give Et3PS as a white solid m 94o when recrystallised from EtOH.

Alternatively, dissolve it in Et2O and shake it with a solution of AgI and KI to form the insoluble complex. Filter off the complex, dry it over P2O5 and the Et3P is regenerated by heating the complex in a tube attached to a vacuum system.
