Synthesis and reactions

The compound is prepared by treating phosphorus trichloride with the Grignard reagent isopropylmagnesium chloride:[1]

PCl3 + 2 (CH3)2CHMgCl → [(CH3)2CH]2PCl + 2 MgCl2

Relative to the reaction of less hindered Grignard reagents with PCl3, this reaction affords a superior yield of the monochloro derivative.

Chlorodiisopropylphosphine reacts with Grignard reagents and organolithium compounds to give phosphines:

[(CH3)2CH]2PCl + RM → [(CH3)2CH]2PR + MCl

Chlorodiisopropylphosphine reacts with alcohols and phenols to give phosphinites, this reaction typically is conducted in the presence of a base:

[(CH3)2CH]2PCl + ROH → [(CH3)2CH]2POR + HCl

Phosphinites are versatile ligands.[2]
