Tris(dimethylamino)phosphine is the organophosphorus compound with the formula P(NMe2)3 (Me = methyl). It is a colorless oil that is one of the most common aminophosphines. Its structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography.[1]
It is basic, reacting with oxygen and sulfur to give the hexamethylphosphoramide(OP(NMe2)3) and the phosphine sulfide SP(NMe2)3. It is also a ligand, forming complexes with a variety of metal centers.[2] Its steric and electronic properties are similar to those of triisopropylphosphine.[3]
Being highly basic, tris(dimethylamino)phosphine is effective as desulfurization agent, e.g. the conversion of dibenzyldisulfide into the dibenzyl sulfide:[4]
- RSSR + P(NMe2)3 → S=P(NMe2)3 + RSR
