Tetraphenylphosphonium chloride is a chemical compound from the group of phosphonium compounds .

Extraction and presentation

Tetraphenylphosphonium chloride can be produced by reacting chlorobenzene with triphenylphosphine and nickel salts as a catalyst .

${\displaystyle \mathrm {C_{6}H_{5}Cl+P(C_{6}H_{5})_{3}\longrightarrow (C_{6}H_{5})_{4}PCl} }$

properties

Tetraphenylphosphonium chloride is a beige solid that is soluble in water.

use

Tetraphenylphosphonium chloride is used for the production of lipophilic salts from inorganic and organometallic anions. It can therefore be used as a phase transfer catalyst , since inorganic anions can be dissolved in organic solvents with it.
