Triphenylphosphineoxide
« on: September 18, 2006, 12:33:45 PM »
I am using triphenylphosphineoxide as a reagent, and the reaction works nice but I canĀ“t seem to get rid of the triphenylphosphineoxide by using chromatography as it has a similar retention as my product. So I just wondered if anyone got some nice way to get rid of it.

Regardless of solvent/column filling?

I have only been trying heptane/EtOAc solutions, but my product is not very UV active and very close and sometimes under the big blob of triphenylphosphine oxide

If your compound dissolves in ether you could triturating the Ph3PO out while chilling but...

Ever thought of trying polymer supported triphenylphosphine?

I agree though try other solvent combinations that may effect better resolution. Perhaps toluene-EtOAc and I am sure you can find a stain to locate your product.

Triphenylphosphine is very hard to get completely out from a product. I've sometimes seen it in my NMRs after a couple of reaction steps.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

I got a nice crystal structure of triphenylphosphine oxide once.

Also if your product is water soluble then you can extract it with water or buffer solution without (Ph)3PO which is water insoluble...
