1,4-Bis(diphenylphosphino)butane is used in Suzuki reaction. It plays an essential role as a ligand in palladium(0)-catalyzed acylcyanation of arylacetylenes and deprotection of allyloxycarbamates. It acts as a ligand for alkylations, isomerization reactions and in organometallic chemistry. Further, it is used in Heck reaction, Negishi coupling and Sonogashira coupling. In addition to this, it is useful in organometallic chemistry.
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.
