1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (Ph2PCH2)2 (Ph = phenyl). It is a commonly used bidentate ligand in coordination chemistry. It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents.

Preparation

The preparation of dppe is by the alkylation of NaPPh2:[1][2]

P(C6H5)3 + 2 Na → NaP(C6H5)2 + NaC6H5

NaP(C6H5)2, which is readily air-oxidized, is treated with 1,2-dichloroethane (ClCH2CH2Cl) to give dppe:

2 NaP(C6H5)2 + ClCH2CH2Cl → (C6H5)2PCH2CH2P(C6H5)2 + 2 NaCl

Reactions

The reduction of dppe by lithium to give PhHP(CH2)2PHPh has been reported.[3]

Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2 + 4 Li → PhLiP(CH2)2PLiPh + 2 PhLi

Hydrolysis gives the bis(secondary phosphine):

PhLiP(CH2)2PLiPh + 2 PhLi + 4H2O → PhHP(CH2)2PHPh + 4 LiOH + 2 C6H6
The bis(dppe) complex HFeCl(dppe)2 is one of the most accessible transition metal hydrides.

Treatment of dppe with conventional oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), aqueous bromine (Br2), etc., produces dppeO in low yield (e.g., 13%) as a result of non-selective oxidation.[4] Selective mono-oxidation of dppe can be achieved by reaction with PhCH2Br to give dppeO.

Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2 + PhCH2Br → Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2(CH2Ph)+Br−

 

 

 

 

(2.3.)

Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2(CH2Ph)+Br− + NaOH + H2O → Ph2P(CH2)2P(O)Ph2

 

 

 

 

(2.4.)

Hydrogenation of dppe gives the ligand bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane.

Coordination complexes

Many coordination complexes of dppe are known, and some are used as homogeneous catalysts. Dppe is almost invariably chelating, although there are examples of monodentate (e.g., W(CO)5(dppe)) and of bridging behavior.[5] The natural bite angle is 86°.[6]
