Reactant for the synthesis of alkali metal complexes. As intermediates. tert-Butyldichlorophosphine (TBDCP) is used primarily in the preparation of monoand bidentate phosphine ligands in metal complexes for catalytic chiral asymmetric hydrogenations and other asymmetric reactions as well as transition metal coupling reactions. This reagent is also used in the preparation of other phosphines in catalytic polymerization reactions.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
