Transition-metal complexes incorporating phosphines and diphosphines as the ligands are frequently used catalysts in hydrogenation, hydroformylation, hydrocyanation, allylic substitution, hydrosilylations, and palladium- and nickel-catalysed coupling reactions. [1] The reduction of phosphine oxides in the final stage of a synthetic route constitutes a widely used synthesis of phosphine ligands. Indeed, because of the ease of interconversion of phosphine oxides ...
